About the Tangier & Asilah day tour
Tangier sits where Africa almost touches Europe, and on a clear day you can see Spain from its terraces. This private tour shows the city’s legendary side and its seaside neighbour Asilah in one easy day, ideal if you arrive by ferry from Spain or by train from Rabat.
You drive out to Cape Spartel, the north-western tip of Africa where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, then visit the Caves of Hercules, whose sea opening looks like a map of Africa. After a short camel ride on the beach you continue to Asilah, a whitewashed fishing town with ramparts and colourful street murals painted every summer by artists from around the world.
Back in Tangier, your guide walks you through the kasbah, the Petit Socco and the American Legation, and up to the café terraces made famous by the writers and musicians of the 20th century.
