See this fascinating ancient city, Gateway to Africa to centuries of Iberian traders and travelers just a stone's throw from Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar. The three to four-hour tour, which runs year round, costs just US$ 210.00. Per person , minimum 2 guests

Our representative will meet you at the International port/pier in Tangiers.

The tour begins with a scenic drive through the modern city along the main street where the locals gather in the famous cafes. Cross Place de France, the residential section and travel the mountain road past the Cliffs of Hercules to Cap Spartel.

We'll then arrive at Cap Spartel, the north-western most point of the African continent, where the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean converge.

Depart Cap Spartel for Hercules Cave along the Atlantic route. We'll tour the caves, which have been continuously inhabited since the Neolithic era, then leave, on our way passing a Saudi Arabian estate, Roman ruins and beautiful countryside.

Arrive at the Kasbah, the fortressed portion of the city. At this, the highest point of the city, you will have a beautiful view of the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Spanish village of Tarifa directly opposite. See snake charmers and Barbara Hutton's home. You'll also visit the Kasbah Museum, which reflects the history and archaeology of the area.

Stop at a restaurant for a Morrocan-style lunch with Moroccan folk-lore, belly dancers and Andalusian musicians. The typical Moroccan lunch consists of Moroccan salad or Moroccan soup, Shish Kebab, chicken couscous and, of course, Moroccan cake and delicious glasses of hot fresh mint tea.

Depart the kasbah and begin a descent through the medina.

You'll then proceed through the Spanish section of Tangiers to return to the International port/pier, where you'll board the ferry back to Gibraltar.

This tour includes guided sightseeing including all entrance fees as listed. Transportation by air conditioned motor-coaches, all local taxes, the pre-set lunch menu, and a Lonely Planet Guide book.

You must inform us at the time you book this tour of your Ferry's arrival and departure details. You may arrive from Algeciras, Spain or Gibraltar. Note that from Gibraltar, on Friday, the ferry leaves at 5PM, which may give you a good incentive to board from Algeciras instead. If need be, you may consider driving from Gibraltar to Algeciras (about 30 minutes) or taking one of the regularly scheduled buses from La Linea, on the Spanish side of the Gibraltar border, to Algeciras if the schedule works better for you.
