The Perdicaris Park, also known as the Rmilat Forest and formerly as Villa Aidonia or Place of the Nightingales, is a public park covering 70 hectares in the Rmilat neighborhood of Tangier, Morocco. It is located on the northern slopes of the Jebel Kebir hill facing the Strait of Gibraltar, between the Cape Spartel reserve to its west and the Jebel Kebir Royal Palace to its east. It is named after Greek-American notable Ion Hanford Perdicaris, who created it in the 1870s and was kidnapped there in the mid-1904 Perdicaris Incident. Now this park is popular for picnics, exercising & panoramic sea views from its hilly hiking trails.

The Caves of Hercules are one of Tangier’s most iconic natural and historical attractions, located just a few kilometers west of the city near Cape Spartel, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea.

According to legend, Hercules rested here after completing his Twelve Labors before crossing the Strait of Gibraltar. The caves are also linked to the mythical creation of the Strait, said to have been opened by Hercules to connect the Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean Sea. Inside, visitors can admire impressive limestone chambers, naturally sculpted rock formations, and passages that have been shaped over thousands of years by the sea. One of the cave’s most famous features is the sea-facing opening, whose silhouette remarkably resembles the map of Africa.

About Tangier

Tangier sits where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, a storied Moroccan port of whitewashed medina lanes, a hilltop kasbah and views to Spain.

The medina climbs from the port to the kasbah, where the old sultan's palace, Dar el Makhzen, holds a museum with views across the Strait of Gibraltar. The Grand Socco and Petit Socco were long the meeting points of the city, and their cafés recall Tangier's decades as an international zone that drew writers, musicians and artists.
