Itinerary

1. At Mendoubia Garden, located at Place du 9 Avril 1947, your guide will walk you through one of Tangier’s most peaceful and historic green spaces. Surrounded by towering trees and lush vegetation, the garden is home to centuries-old banyan trees and the famous cannon used during the defense of the city. Your guide will explain the garden’s connection to Sultan Mohammed V’s historic 1947 speech calling for Morocco’s independence, delivered just steps away. You’ll also see the former Mendoub's residence, a symbol of international diplomacy during Tangier’s international zone era.

2. Your guided tour of the Medina of Tangier begins at the bustling Grand Socco, the gateway to this vibrant old city. As you enter the Medina, your accredited guide will lead you through its maze of narrow streets filled with colorful shops, traditional markets, and artisan workshops. Along the way, you'll discover hidden riads, local bakeries, spice stalls, and historic fountains, while learning about the Medina’s rich cultural heritage. From centuries-old mosques to Andalusian-style houses, each corner reveals a new layer of Tangier’s unique blend of Arab, Berber, and European influences.

   1 h

3. Our accredited guide will meet you at Café de France and lead you to the historic Kasbah of Tangier, perched above the medina with stunning views over the Strait of Gibraltar. As you enter the Kasbah, you’ll walk through centuries-old alleyways lined with traditional houses and beautifully carved doors. Your guide will explain the history of this fortified quarter, once home to sultans and governors, and take you to key sites like the former royal palace (now the Kasbah Museum).

About Marrakech

At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
