DEPARTURE
Departure times may vary between 9.30 a.m. and 11.00 a.m., depending on ferry crossing times.
This two-day tour to Tangier starts at the Tarifa Port, where you will be met at about 11:00 am. After being identified along with the other people that are in your small group, you will be given the round trip ticket to the ferry to Tangier that you should always have with.
You will need to pass the Spanish border control security and emigration and then wait in the departure hall until you start the embarkment to the ferry. Inside the ferry to Tangier, you should go to the Moroccan police office for stamping your passport, so exiting the vessel will be much faster in Tangier.
The ferry trip crossing the Strait of Gibraltar takes 1 hour depending on the currents and winds. During the boat ride, you will have a magnificent view of the Gibraltar rock, the shores of the “Costa de la Luz” (Coast of Light) resort region, the town of Tarifa and probably the dolphins that cross the Strait of Gibraltar.
Upon arrival in Tangier, you must leave the ferry and go through a Morrocan police office, where the passports will check before being stamped.
Immediately after exiting the terminal, the local guide will be waiting to take you to your comfortable and air-conditioned small bus for a panoramic tour of the new and modern area of Tangier until reaching the Cave of Hercules. There, the guide will explain the mythical history of the cave, and you'll free time to explore on your own.
Then you will continue the panoramic tour next to the Atlantic Ocean, the Cape Spartel and the beach area, where you can see the camels and even go riding one for a few minutes for a small extra charge paid locally.
Continuing to the city center, you will have lunch in a traditional restaurant. Lunch is included except drinks. Drinks can be bought, only non-alcoholic, with an average cost of 1,5 EUR. Lunch is traditional and complete. Usually, it has an animation with live local music.
The afternoon part of the visit to Tangier includes a walking tour to the Medina and the Kasbah of Tangier (the former sultan palace and gardens), located in the old town, where streets are narrow and labyrinthic, surrounded by colourful buildings, some stairs and a great deal of history about the endless cultures that were and still are present in Tangier (Spanish, English, French, Arabic, Portuguese, and even American). This former semi-independent international zone attracted eccentric foreigners, world-renowned artists, and even international spies.
Then you will visit a traditional Moroccan pharmacy to know the miracle products and also a silk and scarves shop with 100% national products, always accompanied by the local multilingual tour guide avoiding hustlers and annoying sellers.
Before taking you to your 4-star hotel, in the centre of Tangier, the guide will give you free time to enjoy a mint tea or other local delicacies.
You will have free time to explore Tangier by night, which is a relatively safe city. Please always bear in mind that you are in an Arabic country and that you should behave and dress accordingly with local culture and laws.
