Tangier Half day guided city tour with Free camel Ride
Overview
Half a day covering the best of Tangier, a city shaped by Berber, Andalusian, Portuguese and European hands in turn. The route runs from the lighthouse at Cap Spartel and the sea caves below it, along Achakkar Beach where guests ride a camel on the sand, then up into the Kasbah and the medina's narrow lime-washed streets. The old Sultan's palace, now a museum of Moroccan arts, and a mint tea stop at a viewpoint complete the afternoon.

- The Sultan's palace inside the Kasbah, now a museum of Moroccan arts
- Quiet viewpoints chosen for photographs, away from the crowds
