Our journey begins with a ferry crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar, where Europe and Africa almost touch. As the mist lifts, the Moroccan coastline comes into view. On arrival in Tangier, we meet our local guide for a scenic tour of the surrounding area. We visit Cape Spartel, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, before heading to the legendary Caves of Hercules. An optional visit takes you inside the caves, where, according to legend, Hercules looked out over the edge of the ancient world. The cliffs and sea breeze make for a memorable first taste of Morocco. In the afternoon, there ’ s free time to find a local spot for lunch and sample the flavours of the Maghreb. After checking in at the hotel, you can join an optional excursion to Asilah, where art and Andalusian heritage are woven into the town ’ s whitewashed streets and Portuguese ramparts. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
Did you know? Atlantic and Mediterranean waters meet in the Strait of Gibraltar. Differences in salinity and density mean they mix only partially.
MEALS INCLUDED · Dinner
After breakfast, we leave the bustling city of Tangier behind and head to Tétouan, known as the “White Dove”.
The heritage of Al-Andalus can still be felt in its peaceful streets and squares. From Moulay El Mehdi Square and the Spanish Ensanche district, we make our way to the Royal Palace at Hassan II Square. We then explore the La Luneta district, the former Jewish quarter, and the Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The scents of spices, traditional craft workshops and the lively atmosphere of the old town accompany us as we make our way to Bab Okla Gate.
Our journey continues into the Rif Mountains towards Chefchaouen, the famous Blue City. Founded as a fortress in 1471, it later became a refuge for Moriscos and Jews. Its indigo-blue houses cascade down the mountainside like a waterfall.
We stroll through its winding alleyways towards Outta El Hammam Square, the heart of the city, home to the Grand Mosque, the Kasbah and charming terraces.
After lunch (not included), there will be some free time to explore at your own pace. Afterwards, we return to Tangier for dinner and an overnight stay at the hotel.
