More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The engine thuds, sand sprays, and the Atlantic wind pushes you along a shoreline that has marked the edge of continents for millennia. You start in Tangier, glide in an air‑conditioned transfer, then swap pavement for open beach: a short buggy run across hard-packed sand, a slower camel walk at the waterline, and short explorations of the rock outcrops that guard the Strait of Gibraltar.
