What an incredible whirlwind day we had in Tangier with Hamid! While visiting Spain our family decided to make a day trip to Tangier, and we are so glad we did. Hamid was recommended to us by dear friends and we are so thankful. It was a long day but so interesting and fun. We took the 9am ferry from Tarifa and were met by Hamid at the port, ready to go! He introduced us to the driver and helped us into a Mercedes limo-van (2 rows of 3 seats facing each other). Off we went to the outskirts of the city... a special stop at the local horse barn for me, photos at Perdicaris Park, a beautiful walk down to the lookout at Cap Spartel, a short camel ride on the coast, through Tangier's version of Beverly Hills, and back into the old city. Hamid was quick to respond to all our needs (water, bathrooms), questions, and interests, and was full of information and intriguing facts about Tangier and Morocco. We learned so much and saw so much to love about Tangier. We walked up to the Kasbah and then all around the Medina. Had a delicious lunch (I don't have the name of the restaurant, but I am happy to report none of us had any tummy issues, so it was definitely a good choice), then did a bit of shopping (no pressure though!) and finally had to head back to the port just in time for a few quick photos with Hamid before our 1700 ferry. We will never forget our day in Tangier, and now we want to see more of Morocco! We hope to see you again Hamid! Thank you so much for an amazing day!
