Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Cap Spartel, 14km west of Tangier, Tangier Morocco
Cape Spartel is frequently but incorrectly referred to as the northernmost point of Africa. It is the most North Western point of mainland Africa. The cape rises to a height of 326 m. at the top of Jebel Quebir where there is a tower. There is another tower nearer to the end of the cape which serves as a lighthouse.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Musee de la Kasbah, El Casbah Square, Tangier Morocco
This recently refurbished museum is housed in the former sultan’s palace of Dar El Makhzen. The focus is on the history of the area from prehistoric times to the 19th century. Exhibits are well-presented, but only in French and Arabic. Work your way anticlockwise around the first courtyard before heading inside to the rest of the displays, followed by a walk in the charming Andalusian garden.
Duration: 25 minutes
Stop At: Medina of Tangier, Tangier Morocco
The medina, the top attraction of Tangier, is a labyrinth of alleyways both commercial and residential. It’s contained by the walls of a 15th-century Portuguese fortress, although most buildings are actually relatively new for a Moroccan medina. The place is full of travellers’ treasures and offers glimpses of traditional living. Sadly, local touts can be more of a bother here than nearly anywhere else in Morocco.
Duration: 3 hours
