The Tangier Casbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the oldest part of this bustling city and its historic heart. It is a traditional Moroccan townhouse in the medina quarter of Tangier. It is a walled fortress-like complex that contrasts sharply with the open spaces of the city's souks, or markets.

The medina, or old city, of Tangier is an open air museum. It is a labyrinth of alleyways both commercial and residential. It's well worth exploring for the many small shops and stalls on offer to buy everything from Moroccan jewellery to fresh seafood, or just to soak in the atmosphere of this fascinating African city.

Musee de la Kasbah is a museum and archeological site near the medina of Tangier. It was the home of Sultan Moulay Hassan I from 1672 until his death in 1727. The Kasbah is located in the medina at the entrance to a narrow street called "Kasbah Street.

A site of multilayered cultural and historical significance. This historic center of the city has been carefully restored to its 18th-century glory and houses an impressive collection of local art and architecture.

The Grande Mosquée of Tangier was the first mosque in Morocco, an architectural wonder and historic landmark in the heart of the Old Town. Now a National Heritage site, it remains one of the country’s most popular tourist attractions and a symbol of the city.

The mosque was founded in 859 on the site of an earlier church that was converted into a place of worship after Mohammed’s arrival in Morocco. It has been rebuilt and remodeled many times since then, and is now known as the Grande Mosquée El-Mansouria.

5

Enjoy a short break at Cape Spartel where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.

Cape Spartel is a peninsula located in the southeastern region of the Alpes-Maritimes. The area is surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, and it's known for its mild climate due to its low humidity and high average temperature. It offers a variety of activities such as horse riding, walking, golfing and cycling.

The Hercules Cave is a mythical destination that has fascinated travelers for centuries. This cave is said to be a gateway to the Underworld. There are many legends surrounding this location, many of which seem to contradict one another.

The Hercules Cave gets its name from the story of Hercules and his twelve labors, which includes finding this cave.

This cave is surrounded by mists, piles of rocks, and an underground stream. The legend states that if one walks into the cave he will find Hercules waiting inside with his club and bow. Those who cannot enter due to bad luck or cowardice will find themselves on a beach with their ship magically destroyed.
