Detailed itinerary

The attractiveness of the site of Perdicaris is characterized by a mixture of sea, mountain, and forest.
Stretching over an area of about 70 ha, this forest is considered a natural and historical heritage. It belonged to a Greek-born American diplomat who was retired. It was more specifically Ion Perdicaris who decided in 1872 to move to Tangier. He bought this property and constructed a villa where he lived for a long time with his English wife.

Stop 2

Lighthouse Built by Sultan Mohammed III in 1864, this lighthouse was maintained by Great Britain, France, Spain, and Italy until Morocco's independence from France in 1956. From the top of a cliff in the far north of the African continent, the area around the lighthouse offers a breathtaking view of the Strait of Gibraltar. On a clear day, it is possible to look at the horizon and see the meeting point of the dark blue Atlantic and the turquoise Mediterranean.

The beach of ACHAKAR is the most famous beach in the city of Tangier, where most of the inhabitants come in summer, so on this beach, you will enjoy the camel ride on the beach of the Atlantic Ocean at about 30MIN.
