About this tour
A full-day private excursion from Marbella across the Strait of Gibraltar to Tangier, combining coastal scenery, cultural immersion and a camel ride. You'll travel by private car to Tarifa, take an express ferry to Morocco, then explore Tangier's landmarks with a local guide—from the dramatic Hercules Caves and Cape Spartel headland to the medina's maze of souks and the Spanish Quarter. Breakfast, lunch and mint tea punctuate the day; you'll walk the old city, haggle in bazaars, and ride a camel along the beach before returning to Spain by evening.

What to expect
You'll depart Marbella early morning in a private air-conditioned vehicle, arriving at Tarifa port for a swift ferry crossing. Once in Tangier, your guide and driver take over, steering you through a full itinerary without rushing. Expect walking—cobbled medina streets, the Kasbah overlook, cave exploration—interspersed with transport between sites. The camel ride is casual, beach-set; souks are genuinely busy, not staged. Food is served in functioning local restaurants. You'll hear historical context and practical tips throughout. By late afternoon, you reverse the ferry journey back to Marbella.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection; the medina is steep and uneven in places. Ferry times are fixed; plan accordingly. Souk haggling is expected but optional. WiFi is available on the ferry. Infant seats and prams are accommodated; all transport and most sites are wheelchair accessible. Optional paid entries: American Legation Museum and Kasbah Museum.
