This private excursion from Tangier will take you along the Atlantic Coast following wild beaches and fishermen villages to the Moroccan city of Asilah. This laid-back, artists’ town is dominated by pristine whitewashed houses and a lively cultural life.

The medina of Asilah has restored streets bordered by white houses with green and blue shutters, making it a visual delight.

The mixture of Roman, Spanish and Portuguese influence is evident everywhere in Asilah. Bastions, towers and imposing ramparts offer the setting for delightful seaside walks and restaurants famous for their seafood dishes.
