Start your half-day shore excursion at Tangier port by meeting your driver and guide. Travel the coast, passing opulent mansions belonging to celebrities and stunning beaches, until you arrive at the Hercules caves, which are located in Africa's far northwest. Hercules is associated with these caves, and mythology says that this is where he divided Europe and Africa. Before going to the Medina, take in the breath-taking views of the Strait of Gibraltar. Visit the Medina, with its colorful Souks and artisan shops, and the Kasbah above the port to start your exploration. The Medina looks out over the Mediterranean Sea.

When your half-day cruise through Tangier comes to an end, take advantage of the chance to sip mint tea at one of the storied cafes that served famous writers, artists, and spies back when Tangier was a global destination until the middle of the 20th century. At Tangier harbor, your shore excursion comes to an end.
