About this tour
This 11–12 hour private tour whisks you from Málaga across the Strait of Gibraltar to Tangier, Morocco, in a luxury vehicle with an English-speaking guide. You'll navigate the medina's tight souks, stand where two seas meet at Punta Tarifa, explore the Kasbah and Hercules Caves, ride a camel on Achakkar Beach, and sample traditional Moroccan breakfast and lunch. The itinerary weaves European colonial architecture with Islamic heritage, moving between coastal vistas and the warren of the old town.

What to expect
You'll depart Málaga early and settle into a private car for the coastal drive. After check-in at the ferry terminal, a 45-minute crossing lands you in Tangier port. Your guide meets you and steers you toward the Kasbah ramparts first, where you'll survey the strait. Next comes the medina—narrow lanes, vendor calls, pungent spice stalls. Lunch at a local restaurant follows. Afternoon attractions include the Hercules Caves (natural rock chambers with Atlantic mouth-views) and a camel encounter on the beach. You'll visit the convergence point at Punta Tarifa before returning to Tangier's newer quarters, then reverse the ferry journey by evening.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes; the medina is uneven. Bring sun protection and a light layer—coastal wind can cool quickly. The ferry can be choppy; Dramamine helps if prone to motion sickness. Haggling in souks is expected, not rude. Infant seats and stroller-friendly paths are available; all transport and attractions are wheelchair accessible.
