Duration: 13 hours

Discover Africa with our private guided tour of Tangier. Enjoy the local food and culture with this unforgettable tour.

At the crossroads of Europe and Africa, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, Tangier opens its doors into Morocco. Enjoy an ultimate Tangier private tour!

There is still an air of mystery about the city that remains from the times when Tangier was an international zone. Since its foundation, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Arabs, Spaniards, Portuguese and English have jealously fought for the right to control it. This Tangier tour from Marbella will introduce you to this exotic city where you will discover its culture and history of this North African city situated in the most northwesterly area of Morocco.

Description

No other African city is closer to Europe and no other is more dearly loved by European and American artists: Delacroix, Matisse, Tennesse Williams, Jean Genet, Joseph Kessel, Williams Burroughs and Paul Bowles to name but a few, have all lived in Tangier and been captivated by its spell.

Upon arrival from Spain, after crossing the Strait of Gibraltar during approximately one hour, our guide will be awaiting for you at the pier for this luxury Tour through Tangier. This Tangier day tour from Marbella it’s composed of two parts just like the city itself. A driven tour (in a new Mercedes Taxi) will take you to discover the modern Tangier and then take you up to the Northwestern tip of the African continent where the strait of Gibraltar embraces the Atlantic Ocean. Not far from this extraordinary site, the Hercules caves will take you back to the original location of the first people established in Tangier.

Then, the Kasbah gate introduces you to the other Tangier, the Medina with its white-washed houses, small privacy proof windows and narrow alleys. The way will slowly take you to the Kasbah Square and to the sultan’s palace.

Lunch will be served in a local restaurant where you will enjoy traditional arab food and teas. The Medina offers you a good opportunity to shop around; leather, native silver Berber jewelery and hand mad rugs are amongst the most attractive items produced in the country. A stop at the spices is a must before you head out of the market area.

To finish this Tangier private tour from Marbella, there’ll be a transfer back to the ferry.
