WALKING TOUR OF THE MEDINA OF TANGIER

Meet at your accommodation/ port at 10 am or elsewhere by prior arrangement. We will embark for a rewarding exploration of the first portion of the new city passing by the beachfront where most of the restaurants and nightclubs are located. Cross the main avenue of Mohammed V to get to the 9th April Square by the main gate entrance into the Medina (old city). Visit the Anglo Saxon church of St Andrew then visit of the market at the Gran Socco before getting into the narrow alleys of the old city and the Petit Socco.

Get to the Kasbah (15th century fortification) that is dramatically perched uphill overlooking the Mediterranean, Spain, Gibraltar and offering a superb view of the medina (old city). Visit the 17th century Sultan’s palace that has been transformed into a museum offering a vast collection of fascinating antiquities including Roman remains. From Bab Bhar (the gate into the sea), you can see the terrace overlooking the straits of Gibraltar, continue down through the labyrinth streets and alleyways of the medina following the Matisse Route (which will take us through major points of interest related to the prominent artist Henry Matisse). Finally visit the Mendoubia.
