Morocco | Can't Believe This Is Africa's Coast (Travel Guide Included)
Tanger, the northern tip of Africa—where myth meets reality! This legendary westernmost point faces Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar. With a Schengen visa, you can even take a 1-hour ferry (40€) to Spain—on clear days, you might spot Spanish shores! Here, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, you stand at the crossroads of the world. 🚌 Transportation From Assilah Grand Taxi Station, take a bus (8 MAD) or shared minivan (10 MAD, ~2.5 hours). 🛏️ Accommodation We booked a 3-bedroom Airbnb near Ibn Batouta Mall (264 RMB/night, fits 10 people!). Pros: Cheap when split, 2 bathrooms, full kitchen, and a Carrefour downstairs for supplies! 🌊 One-Day Itinerary 1️⃣ Hercules Cave 🎫 80 MAD ❌ Skip the ticket! The cave takes 60 seconds to see. The free coastal views outside are way prettier for photos. Taxi tip: Use InDrive (45-60 MAD). If drivers hike prices, cancel and rebook! 2️⃣ Achakkar Beach Camel rides by the sea! Walk 1.6km from Hercules Cave, passing Grotte des Chevaux. 3️⃣ Atlantic & Mediterranean Signpost The iconic spot where two seas meet! Stop for lunch at Café Garden Beach (cheap + cliffside views). 4️⃣ Cap Spartel Lighthouse 🎫 50 MAD ❌ Featured on Morocco’s 200 MAD bill—just snap pics outside; no need to enter. 5️⃣ Tombeaux Phéniciens Sunset 🌇 Free & stunning port views. Skip the overrated Café Hafa—this spot is better! 6️⃣ Old Medina Night Walk Wind down with a stroll through the medina back to your stay. 💡 Pro Tips Next day? Explore the medina from Bab Kasbah (walk downhill to avoid climbing). Chill like a local: Grab coffee at a seaside café and soak in Tanger’s vibrant blue waters. #TravelDiaries #Morocco #Tanger #SlowTravel #Wanderlust
