Detailed itinerary

Your adventure begins in the heart of Tangier's bustling Medina. Follow your guide through its narrow alleyways, vibrant souks, and historic sites while soaking in the rich mix of Arab, Berber, and Andalusian cultures. This is a perfect opportunity to experience local life, visit artisan shops, and discover hidden gems within the old city walls.

Continue to the Kasbah, a fortress perched above the city with sweeping views of the Strait of Gibraltar. Take a short stop at the museum located within a 17th-century palace, showcasing artifacts from Morocco’s diverse past.

A symbolic and mythical site, the Caves of Hercules blend natural wonder with legend. Marvel at the rock formations and the iconic opening shaped like the African continent, a photo-worthy spot tied to stories of ancient Greek heroes.

Stand at the dramatic point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Cap Spartel offers breathtaking views from its historic lighthouse and a refreshing sea breeze — a highlight for nature lovers and photographers.

Visit the first American public property outside the U.S., now a cultural center and museum. Located in the medina, it houses fascinating exhibits that trace the deep ties between Morocco and the United States.

Admire this serene Anglican church from the outside, known for its unique blend of Moorish and English architectural styles and peaceful garden surroundings.

Pause at this historic square, a central gathering point named after a pivotal speech by King Mohammed V. It’s a great place to feel the city’s energy and spot local street life in motion.

End your walk through Tangier’s cultural tapestry in this charming square, once a favorite haunt of artists, writers, and musicians. Relax with a mint tea or explore the nearby shops before returning to your starting point.
