Tangier makes a superb base for some of northern Morocco's most photogenic days out. With a private car and an early start, each of these is comfortable as a round trip.
Chefchaouen — the blue city
About two hours south, Chefchaouen tumbles down the Rif mountains in a thousand shades of blue. Mornings are quiet and golden; we time the drive so you arrive before the tour buses.
Asilah — the whitewashed art town
Closer to Tangier, Asilah is a serene Atlantic medina of white walls and painted murals, ramparts and seafood — an easy, elegant half-day.
Cap Spartel & the Caves of Hercules
Right on Tangier's doorstep, the lighthouse at Cap Spartel marks where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, beside the cave whose opening is famously shaped like Africa.
- ◆Chefchaouen is a full day; pair Asilah and Cap Spartel for a relaxed half-day each.
