Detailed itinerary

Asilah Medina is one of Morocco’s most charming coastal towns, located on the northwestern edge of the country, just south of Tangier. Its whitewashed walls decorated with colorful murals give it a unique artistic soul. Originally a Phoenician trading post, Asilah was later fortified by the Portuguese in the 15th century and became a hub of culture and history.
Today, the old medina of Asilah enchants visitors with its narrow blue-and-white streets, peaceful atmosphere, and stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. Walking through its gates feels like stepping back in time — every corner reveals centuries of Moroccan, Andalusian, and Mediterranean influence.

Stop 2

The Kasbah of Tangier stands proudly above the old medina, overlooking the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Once the residence of sultans and governors, it offers panoramic views, ornate Moorish architecture, and a quiet escape from the city below. Walking through its gates reveals narrow lanes, whitewashed houses, and peaceful courtyards that capture the spirit of old Morocco. The Kasbah Museum, housed in the former Sultan’s Palace, displays centuries of Tangier’s rich history and cultural exchange.

The Medina of Tangier is a vibrant maze of history and life — where cultures, colors, and aromas blend into one. Its narrow streets are filled with local artisans, spice shops, traditional cafés, and historical landmarks. Once a crossroads of traders and diplomats, Tangier’s medina preserves influences from Andalusia, France, and the Arab world. Every turn tells a story — from the Grand Socco square to the Petit Socco cafés once visited by writers and travelers from all over the world.

Stop 4

Located just outside Tangier, the Caves of Hercules are one of Morocco’s most famous natural wonders. According to legend, this is where the mythical hero Hercules rested after separating Africa and Europe. The cave’s opening, shaped like the African continent, looks out toward the Atlantic Ocean — a breathtaking view at sunset. Visitors can explore both the natural and man-made sections of the caves, carved by waves and ancient civilizations alike.

Stop 5

At the northwestern tip of Africa, Cap Spartel marks the dramatic meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The area is crowned by a picturesque 19th-century lighthouse, still in operation today. Surrounded by lush forests and sea cliffs, it’s one of Tangier’s most iconic viewpoints — offering panoramic views, fresh ocean air, and unforgettable photo opportunities.
