Day-by-Day Itinerary
Morning – Tangier Medina & Kasbah
Begin in the heart of Tangier's medina — a labyrinth of narrow streets that inspired writers from Paul Bowles to William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Visit the historic kasbah perched above the city with panoramic views of the Strait of Gibraltar. Explore the Grand Socco — the main square where the medina meets the modern city — and visit the American Legation Museum, the only US National Historic Landmark on foreign soil, a testament to Tangier's unique international history.
Afternoon – Cape Spartel & Hercules Caves
Drive to Cape Spartel — the northwesternmost point of Africa — where the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea meet in a dramatic swirl of currents. Visit the legendary Hercules Caves, where according to mythology Hercules rested before performing his 12th labor. The cave's ocean-facing opening is shaped like the African continent. Enjoy panoramic views across the Strait of Gibraltar to the coast of Spain before returning to Tangier.
