Tangier, Morocco

Panoramic Tangier & Tétouan

North Moroccan Sights and Culture Embark on a full-day tour of Tangier and Tétouan. Take a panoramic drive through Tangier as you head to Cape Spartel, the African mainland’s northwestern-most point. There, visit the Caves of Hercules, where legend says the mythological demigod once rested. Then, take a scenic drive to Tétouan, the former capital of Spanish Morocco. Admire the Bab el-Okla, one of the city’s seven historic gates, and visit the School of Arts and Crafts (Dar Sanaa) for an explanation of how its teachers pass on their knowledge of traditional crafts to their students. After a lunch of local fare, explore the souks of el-Hot and Guersa el-Kebira inside the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. View the Royal Palace—its ornate main gate is a fine example of the Hispano-Moresque style, then enjoy free time to shop before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
