TANGIER
The Getaway to Africa

MOROCCO PRIVATE DAY TOUR FROM MARBELLA

Experience a door-to-door escorted tour out from Marbella and dive into the mysterious world of the Kingdom of Morocco, just a stone’s throw from the Spanish coast.

Our day tour across the Strait of Gibraltar will take you to the bustling city of Tangier, the most captivating city on the western Maghreb coast.

Tangier opens the traveller´s eyes to ancestral traditions, buzzing markets, vibrant colours and a warm welcome.

With its medina, souks, synagogues and mosques dotting the city and its beaches open to the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, Tangier is home to a unique cocktail of cultures, millenary civilisations, and mixed architecture, a land of overwhelming beauty and diversity.

Upon arrival, we will take you on an exciting sightseeing guided tour in the new part of Tangier (Ville Nouvelle) and its many neighbourhoods to initially form an idea about the vast cultural heritage of this destination because Tangier, unlike the rest of Moroccan cities, was designated as an international zone and, therefore, ruled by eight Western countries.

As we drive along the coastline, with the option to experience the camel ride on the white sandy beach, we will stop at Cape Spartel, where the Mediterranean Sea collides with the Atlantic Ocean. Then, we will head to the Caves of Hercules that date back to the Neolithic era and with an opening towards the sea in the shape of Africa.

Then, we will follow the itinerary of Matisse as you visit the renowned Kasbah of Tangier (15th-century fortification), which reveals the city´s rich history. Tangier has been a haven for artists, writers, and rock stars – Discover why so many celebrities have succumbed to the charms of this Moroccan destination.

Within the majestic medieval city walls, indulge in Moroccan cuisine and weave through the picturesque Medina of Tangier (Old Walled City), an artisans’ hangout with a sea of traditional wares and a feast of colours.

FAQ

What should I wear for a trip to Morocco?

There is no need to dress differently from how you would dress at home. The fashion is Western/European for many, and many also wear Islamic fashion, completely covered. The nice thing about Morocco is the mix, which is accepted. Overall, we recommend choosing versatile, casual clothing that can be layered if the weather (or level of air-conditioning) requires it.

Do I need my passport to travel to Morocco?

It is mandatory to present a valid passport to enter and exit Morocco.

Do I need a visa to visit Morocco?

Holders of U.S. and Canadian passports are not required to obtain a tourist visa for entry into Morocco.

Citizens of other countries should contact the appropriate consular office for entry requirements pertaining to their trip.

Can we pay by credit card in Morocco?

Yes, you can. Major credit cards are widely accepted for goods and services at restaurants and larger shops, however, it’s a good idea to carry cash as well, especially for shopping in the markets. They accept Euros and Dollars.

We are interested in going to a local market. Is that included in the itinerary?

Yes, local markets are included in our itinerary. We will visit the Medina of Tangier (Old Walled City), where you’ll find souks, health & beauty shops, marketplaces of stalls selling tanned leather, Berber carpets handwoven by women of Morocco, food items, spices and more. Your local guide will help you find the things you wish.

What is Moroccan cuisine like?

Morocco is a hub for an abundance of exotic spices that come to define Moroccan cuisine. The country’s most famed spices — among them cardamom, cinnamon and saffron— can be experienced in gorgeous combinations that include ras el hanout spice blend and harissa paste, as well as dishes like tagine stew.

What type of food would be available?

The restaurants we recommend in our itinerary offer all kinds of food. Besides traditional Moroccan dishes, you can also find seafood, vegetarian, gluten-free, and Western options.

Can I upgrade my ferry tickets to premium class?

Yes, you can. The round ferry tickets included in our tour are jet-class tickets with comfortable leather seats in the main hall.

Optionally, we can arrange premium-class tickets for slightly larger seats, panoramic views towards the sea and refreshments included.

We´d be pleased to upgrade your ferry tickets if desired. The extra cost for premium seats is 30 € per person approx.

‘Exciting day trip to Morocco’

September 2019

‘When I planned our trip to Marbella, Spain, I read EVERYTHING I could find, and searched all over the internet for opinions and reviews on all the different tour operators, in order to ensure we would experience Marbella to the fullest. There is A LOT to do and SEE! I also wanted to make sure our group of four would be comfortable and safe. When I discovered Signature Tours Marbella, I hit a home run!!

Over weeks and months of preparation, I peppered Signature Tours Marbella with questions, which is how I came to know Montse. I inquired about everything from which tour? When? Why? Which combinations? How? Timing, weather, dress, cost, etc., etc., etc.. Montse responded to all of my questions in a timely fashion, always providing me with answers and her best recommendations. Even after booking with Signature Tours Marbella, I had to make a few changes and it was not a problem for Montse.

The final result: An exciting day trip to Morocco, a gorgeous sunset yacht charter on the Mediterranean, a unique road trip to Ronda, all with wonderful guides and authentic meals!! Our trip to Marbella was fantastic!!!

We booked it all through Signature Tours Marbella and we can’t wait to return and continue our Marbella adventures with Montse!’
