Stop At: شاطئ تهدرت طنجة, H2H6+255, El Khaoucha, Morocco
The road trip from Tangier to Assilah will allow you to enjoy a beautiful landscape along the Atlantic coast of northern Morocco. If you wish, we can stop for a short walk along the seashore at the mouth of the Oued Mharhar River. If the tide is low and you feel like walking, you can approach the bottom dunes.
Depending on the time, it is worth eating in some fish restaurant of the day halfway, or already in Assilah itself.

We arrived with the car by the beach of Assilah that during the good weather is crowded with local and foreign bathers.
Stop At: Asilah Medina, Rue Attijara, Asilah Morocco
A unique Portuguese fortification protects the charming medina of Asilah. It is delicious to walk quietly in the silence of its narrow and whitewashed streets. Each corner and each door are a postcard. If it is accessible, it arrives at the viewpoint of the wall that goes into the sea, to relax the look on the profile of houses and rocks in which the waves break.
The facades of the houses of Assilah are the annual setting of an art festival, which paints them with murals of different styles. You will also discover that the medina is full of bohemian-style stores. You can stop to buy clothes, pottery, jewelry or some other Moroccan souvenir.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Puerto de Assilah, Asilah 90050 Morocco
Strolling through the harbor full of blue fishing boats and observing the arrival of fishermen and the sale and distribution of the merchandise of the day is also a spectacle. In front of the port and at the entrance to the medina, the driver will indicate numerous restaurants to enjoy the fish of the day.
Duration: 30 minutes
Pass By: Church of San Bartolome, FX89+J2H, Asilah, Morocco
Do not forget to visit very close to the medina, the beautiful Christian church of San Bartolomé, from 1927. Although it is usually closed, it is always a curious contrast amidst the Moroccan buildings that surround it.
Stop At: Cromlech de Mzoura, Mzoura Morocco
Prehistoric jewel 15 km from Assilah is the unknown Cromlech of Mzora. It is a small set of monoliths in a circle, and is the only megalithic monument known to all of North Africa. It is a recommended option if you like history and magical sites.
