Moroccan Coast Day Trip: Cape Spartel, Hercules Caves & Asilah
Tour Details
At the designated time, we’ll pick you up from your hotel in Tangier for an unforgettable day trip along the Moroccan coastline. This full-day adventure will take us to Cape Spartel, the Hercules Caves, and the charming town of Asilah!
Our first stop is Cape Spartel, where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet. After a scenic 30-minute drive, we’ll arrive at this stunning site, where the iconic lighthouse offers breathtaking views of the Moroccan coastline.
To fully experience the beauty of Cape Spartel, we’ll enjoy a 15-minute camel ride along the beach—a truly memorable experience!
Next, we’ll visit the fascinating Hercules Caves, famously nicknamed “The Map of Africa.” According to ancient Greek legend, Hercules spent a night here, and the grotto is shrouded in mystery and history.
Our journey continues to Asilah, a gem on Morocco’s northwest coast. During a guided tour, you’ll explore the Medina and uncover the rich history and cultural heritage of this “city of light and art.” Highlights include the El Raisuni Palace and the centuries-old walls, remnants of Portuguese rule in the 15th century. Afterward, you’ll have free time to enjoy lunch at your leisure.
Before the end of the tour, you'll have an hour and a half of free time in the Medina of Tangier to explore its streets at your leisure. We'll finish the tour by taking you back to your hotel 7 hours after the initial pickup.
