Tangier Touch: 3-Day Tour From Rabat

Your journey begins in Morocco's elegant capital, Rabat. Your guided tour starts at the majestic Royal Palace (Dar al-Makhzen), where you'll admire the grand exteriors and learn about Morocco's monarchy. Just a short walk away, you'll stand in awe at the Hassan Tower, the unfinished minaret of a grand 12th-century vision, and the magnificent Mausoleum of Mohammed V, a masterpiece of modern Alaouite dynasty architecture. Afterwards, your guide will lead you through the enchanting blue-and-white streets of the Kasbah of the Udayas, a fortified citadel overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the Bou Regreg River. Explore its Andalusian gardens, narrow lanes, and enjoy panoramic views. The evening is free for you to enjoy dinner at your leisure in the capital.

After breakfast, we travel north to the coastal town of Larache. Your guided tour begins at the Lixus Archaeological Site, one of Morocco's oldest and most important Roman ruins. Explore the ancient remains overlooking the Loukkos River, including thermal baths, temples, and the famous garum (fish sauce) factory. Your guide will bring to life the history of this strategic Phoenician and Roman settlement. We then continue to Larache itself, visiting the Spanish Cemetery and the tomb of writer Jean Genet. Enjoy a seafood lunch (not included) at a local portside restaurant. In the afternoon, your guide will show you the Larache Medina and the Paseo de la Marina promenade, reflecting the town's unique Spanish-Moroccan heritage.

After breakfast, your guide will introduce you to the fascinating city of Tangier. Perched at the crossroads of Africa and Europe, the city has a unique energy. Your tour begins in the medina, a labyrinth of narrow streets filled with shops and cafes. You will visit the Kasbah Museum located in the former Sultan's Palace, which offers a rich collection of artifacts showcasing the region's history. A highlight of the tour is a visit to the Caves of Hercules, a natural cavern with an opening shaped like the map of Africa, where legend says Hercules once rested. You will also enjoy a drive along the coast to Cape Spartel, the northwesternmost point of Africa, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. The tour concludes after lunch (not included), filled with memories of ancient cities and stunning coastal vistas. Return to Rabat.
