Highlights
  • Musee de la Kasbah - Le Musée la Kasbah des cultures méditerranéennes représente un lieu patrimonial incontournable et une partie importante de la mémoire collective méditerranéenne. Il compte également parmi les plus anciennes institutions culturelles témoignant de la richesse et de la diversité du bassin méditerranéen.
    Il est niché au coeur de la Kasbah de Tanger, ville qui jouit de nombreux atouts géostratégiques. Cette situation lui confère le rôle essentiel d’interface entre l’Afrique et l’Europe, ainsi qu’entre les deux espaces maritimes que sont l’Océan Atlantique et la Méditerranée. Connu auparavant sous le nom du Palais de la Kasbah dit « Dar Al- Makhzen » ou « Palais du Sultan », le Musée occupe la partie Est de la Kasbah de Tanger.

Additional Information

After pick up, our route will take us along La Corniche (central beach) as we explore the eastern part of the city. We’ll then traverse through the Boulevard (formerly French section) where you can soak in the breath-taking view of the port and the Spanish coast on a clear day. We will proceed to the upscale Iberia and California residential area, brimming with luxurious chalets, villas, and palaces before making our way to Spartel Cape, a convergence point of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. We will then drive along the coastline for a bit and explore the renowned Hercules caves. Afterwards, we’ll head towards the city outskirts to unveil the traditional aspect of Tanger, starting our walking tour at the Kasbah (a 15th century fort). We’ll embark on the Henri Matisse Trail (from his second visit in 1912-1913) and explore the locations that the acclaimed French painter immortalized in his stunning paintings including the main gate, mosque, marabout, among others.

The day was an amazing experience and it was all due to Ben - Ben was an excellent tour guide, his knowledge of the area is second to none. He is very friendly and speaks excellent English and showed us more than we could’ve ever have found in two weeks on our own.

Fantastic time in Tangier - We met Ben on an organised tour after which he took a few of us on a walking tour of Tangier Old Town. We had an excellent time and he showed us some areas we would never have gone if we had been on our own. Very informative and interesting. Tangier is a wonderful place and was made better with Ben’s guidance. We would highly recommend.

BEN is a GREAT Tangier Tour Guide - Ben took us on a custom tour based on our time available. He has a comfortable car that seats 3. For larger parties, he will arrange comfortable transportation. He loves his work and it shows in the passion with which he explains each site visited. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and were glad we did this up front in our stay in Tangier. This allowed us to be oriented to where things are and have made our days easier because we have a good idea where we are going etc. Part of the tour, of course, includes visiting a couple of shops in the Old Town area. There is an understanding that tour guides take tourists to shops in order to buy. I personally think you can get better prices on your own but it can be entertaining to be taken to these shops.

Wonderful guided tour in Tangier - My husband and I were so lucky to get a tour with Khalid. We had such a personalized experience. We visited the Hercules Caves and then did a walking tour in the Medina. During our tour he shared his knowledge in history as well as personal experiences. Our tour felt like going on a walk with an old friend. It was truly a pleasure to had him as our guide. 10 out of 10! Highly Recommended!!

An amazing day in Medina, Tangier Old Town - Khalid/Ben is an awesome tour guide! He is very knowledgeable about Tangier history and the old town. The tour is picturesque, informative, and tailored to your interests and whims. Khalid is friendly, fun, kind and trustworthy. He speaks multiple languages fluently, including Spanish, French, English and Arabic (possibly others, but we did not have the opportunity, or language skills, to check). All tours are personalized for your group/party, you are not asked to include other groups on your tour. Prices are very reasonable. Try him out, you are sure to enjoy!

A must- do tour of a beautiful city with a fabulous guide! - Khalid (Ben) is charismatic, knowledgeable, and so much fun! He went above and beyond in his tour, sharing local insights, personal anecdotes, and, of course, the fascinating history of his home city! I would highly recommend spending your afternoon wandering the streets of Medina with him — a wonderful way to experience old town Tangier!
