What's included in Tarifa to Tangier A Taste of Morocco
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Tangier
Tangier is a historic city in northwestern Morocco, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. Known for its unique blend of African, European, and Middle Eastern influences, the city is famous for its rich history, multicultural heritage, and vibrant arts scene. The medina, a maze of narrow alleys and souks, contrasts with European-style buildings in the newer parts of the city. Tangier’s coastal setting and mild Mediterranean climate make it a scenic destination, while recent developments, like the Tangier-Med port, have turned it into a modern economic hub.
Parc Perdicaris
Ion Perdicaris was a wealthy American expatriate and socialite who lived in Tangier in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His story became famous due to a 1904 kidnapping incident, known as the "Perdicaris Affair," which sparked international diplomatic tensions. Perdicaris was abducted by a Moroccan tribal leader, Mulai Ahmed er Raisuni, who sought political leverage against the Moroccan Sultan. The U.S. government intervened with the memorable stance, “Perdicaris alive or Raisuni dead!” The crisis was ultimately resolved peacefully, and Perdicaris was released. Perdicaris’s legacy lives on in Tangier, where he owned a beautiful estate known as the "Perdicaris Park" or "Rmilat." Now a public park, it offers scenic trails, lush greenery, and stunning views of the sea, making it a popular destination for locals and visitors.
Caves of Hercules
The Hercules Caves are a popular natural and historical site located near Cap Spartel, just outside Tangier, Morocco. These caves are famous not only for their impressive beauty but also for their connection to Greek mythology, where they are said to be a resting place of the hero Hercules after he completed his Twelve Labors. The caves feature an iconic, naturally shaped opening that resembles the map of Africa, allowing sunlight to create dramatic effects inside. The caves are partly natural and partly man-made; ancient Phoenicians are believed to have cut parts of the cave to extract stone for millstones, as circular carvings are visible on the walls. The Caves of Hercules are an atmospheric blend of nature and legend, attracting visitors for both the history and the scenic views over the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a popular spot for sightseeing, exploring, and enjoying the myths and mysteries that make it a unique destination.
