About this tour
Cross the Strait of Gibraltar in a private luxury car and ferry to explore Tangier in a single day from Marbella. Your guide navigates you through centuries of colonial history, from the kasbah's fortress walls to the medina's labyrinthine souks, with stops at Hercules Caves, Achakkar Beach for a camel encounter, and Cap Spartel where two seas converge. Breakfast and lunch at local Moroccan restaurants are included, along with skip-the-line access and flexible routing tailored to your interests.

What to expect
You'll be collected from Marbella early morning and driven to the ferry terminal. The crossing itself takes roughly an hour; use it to watch the Spanish coast recede. Once docked in Tangier, your guide meets you for a full-day circuit covering the old kasbah (a genuine fortress, not a renovation), the medina's winding streets where vendors sell everything from tagine pots to leather goods, and the coastal landmarks. The camel ride is brief but genuine—expect sandy clothes and photo opportunities rather than a lengthy trek. Lunch breaks mid-afternoon at a family-run establishment serving couscous and brined olives. Return ferries depart late afternoon.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sunscreen; Tangier's medina involves steep cobblestones. Ferry schedules run year-round but check seas in winter. Skip-the-line access applies to paid attractions only. The camel beach is popular with other tours—go early if crowds bother you. Moroccan restaurants serve alcohol despite exclusions listed; your guide won't push.
