Itinerary

Tangier Port - Tangier city center

Tangier half day shore excursion is the perfect introduction for first-time visitors. Hike to Tangier’s Kasbah located on a hilltop and escape the crowded Medina, before you dive into the calm vibes of the Kasbah. Once you are there, a panoramic view of the ocean will reveal itself, allowing you to catch a glimpse of Gibraltar- provided it is a clear day. This is one of the very few spots in the world where you can see two continents at once! While you are there, do not miss Dar El Makhzen which used to be a royal palace in the 17th century and now serves as a museum.

Stroll down the Medina street leading to The Grand Socco, a traditional shopping center for the locals. It is the perfect destination for those who seek a raw and in-depth Moroccan experience and would like to enjoy local atmosphere. The Grand Socco also displays the Moroccan housing architecture, colorful and dynamic alleyways, and a lifestyle stuck between the present and the past.

On your Tangier guided tour, you will also have the opportunity to visit the Caves of Hercules, one of the most famous sites not only in Tangier, but in Morocco too! Located just 15km west of Tangier, the caves provide views across the Strait of Gibraltar and have a spectacular lighthouse to explore. The name of the Caves comes from a Greek legend, which says that a Greek hero spent some time in the caves. Follow the set of steps into the cave, until you are greeted by a hole in the cave wall facing the ocean. Apart from the fact that the hole offers a phenomenal view of the ocean, it is also particularly special because it takes the shape of the continent of Africa!

At the end of your half-day shore excursion of Tangier, re-board the vehicle at the Medina’s Marine gate and return to the cruise ship.
