Detailed Itinerary
Experience the Real Tangier with our Tangier Guided Tour
Depart from Tarifa to Tangier by the fast ferry (it takes normally around one hour) and upon arrival; you will meet with your private tour guide whom you will notice holding a sign with your name on it. Otherwise, you will be collected from your accommodation in Tangier by prior arrangement.
The first part of this interesting Guided walking tour of Tangier will take you to the Kasbah that is perched uphill and was historically used as a defense station. It overlooks panoramically the Medina (Old Town), Gibraltar, and Spain, and the view from this point is stunning.
You will notice that most of the Kasbah have been converted into private homes for foreigners and boutique hotels; however, this fact does not prevent any visitor to learn about the rich history behind its foundation, particularly if you are accompanied by a local tour guide who grew up within the walls of this area.
Follow your guide through the intricate alleyways to the Palace Du Mechouar, which is a square in the very heart of the Kasbah that served as a parade ground whenever the late Alaouite Sultan Moulay Ismail used to visit Tangier in the 17th century.
Visit the Kasbah Museum that was originally the residence for the Sultan Moulay Ismail and has been recently converted into an interesting museum housing various relics that go back to the Stone Age through the turn of the 20th century. It reveals powerfully the rich history of Tangier and the North of Morocco in general through a wide collection of antiques, manuscripts, crafts, and much more. It opens from Wednesday through Monday from 09:00 am to 4 PM and the Admission fee is 10 MAD.
Wander around the Medina (Old Town) that is divided into five main quarters and centered by the vibrant Petit Socco Square where you may be invited by your tour guide to sit in a café, order a sweet min tea, and watch people. You will then explore the Souks (Markets) that are divided into sections according to specialties such as fish, vegetables, spices, crafts, and much more.
After your guided walking tour of Tangier Medina, your private tour guide will make sure to escort you back to the port, accommodation, or farewell you at the location of your choice.
You may want to opt for the full-day trip to Tangier from Tarifa, Spain, or an all-inclusive luxury day trip to Morocco from Spain offering an opportunity to have a sightseeing tour around the city by visiting the Spartel Cape promontory, the pre-historic Caves of Hercules & experiencing the camel ride by the Atlantic shoreline.
