About this tour
Cross the Strait of Gibraltar for a day exploring Tangier's layered history—Phoenician trade hub, Roman outpost, and modern cultural crossroads. This 10–12 hour private tour from Marbella includes ferry, car, guide, and meals. Visit Cape Spartel where two seas meet, scramble through the Hercules Caves, wander the medina and souks, ride a camel on the beach, and eat traditional Moroccan food. Everything's arranged; you just show up in Marbella and return by evening.

- Camel ride along Tangier's sandy beach
- Medina maze, souks, and Berber market haggling
- Tangier American Legation Museum and Moshe Nahon Synagogue
- Traditional breakfast plus lunch in an authentic restaurant

What to expect
Pickup from your Marbella hotel around dawn. The ferry crossing takes roughly an hour; you'll sit in the lounge with coffee. Upon arrival in Tangier, your private guide meets you with a driver and air-conditioned car. Expect a full day of stops: ruins, religious sites, natural landmarks, and busy markets where vendors will chat and haggle. You'll eat twice and pause for tea. The camel ride is brief but genuine. Walking involves steep medina alleyways and some stairs. Ferry and car journeys bookend the day; you're back in Marbella by late afternoon or early evening.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection. Tangier's medina is hilly; pace yourself. The ferry can be crowded but your guide handles logistics. Bring cash for tips and spontaneous souvenirs—euros work, though Moroccan dirhams are better. Infants and wheelchairs are catered for; confirm your needs when booking.
