What to expect
Parc Perdicaris
The attractiveness of the site of Perdicaris is characterized by a mixture of sea, mountain, and forest. Stretching over an area of about 70 ha, this forest is considered a natural and historical heritage. It belonged to a Greek-born American diplomat who was retired. It was more specifically Ion Perdicaris who decided in 1872 to move to Tangier.
Lighthouse Built by Sultan Mohammed III in 1864, this lighthouse was maintained by Great Britain, France, Spain and Italy until Morocco's independence from France in 1956. From the top of a cliff in the far north of the African continent, the area around the lighthouse offers a breathtaking view of the Strait of Gibraltar.
The cave has two openings, one to the sea and one to the land. The opening to the sea is known as "The Map of Africa". It is believed that the Phoenicians created the opening to the sea which has the shape of Africa when viewed from the sea.
Tangier Casbah
It is an ancient military fortification, founded by the Portuguese in the 15th century. The Kasbah of Tangier is one of the greatest attractions of Tangier. The Kasbah was founded on the highest parts of the city of Tangier, overlooking the medina.
Is the old city of Tangier, the medina is Tangier's main attraction, is a maze of alleyways, both commercial and residential. It is contained by the walls of a 15th-century Portuguese fortress, although most of the buildings are actually relatively recent for a Moroccan medina.
