Van Tanger tot Asilah

Amazing experience visiting Asilah and Tangier. Ben, our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made us feel like family. After the tour he invited us to his home to break the Ramadan fast. I would highly recommend booking your Tangier tours with Ben if you want an authentic Moroccan experience.

As a solo, female traveller in my mid 60's, I felt completely safe at all times throughout Tangier during my week there. I did a day tour to Chefchouen (the Blue City) which was absolutely brilliant. The next day was a half day tour to Cap Spartal, Hercules Caves and a Camel Ride on the beach. Especially the Camel Ride which I chose the sunset time tour was a totally mind blowing experience!!(Both tours booked through 'Get my Guide') On the 3rd day, I did a Tajine cooking class with a local family. This I found on the Internet. A heartwarming afternoon learning the cooking methods of tajine and the tradition of Moroccan mint tea. The remaining days were spent browsing the Madina (I engaged a local guide....they are everywhere! Just negotiate the price beforehand) I visited the new town. Had services done....honestly the best gel nails ever! A massage...a session at a hammam. Lovely girly spoil. Another day I bought a big bag of tins of cat food from a local supermarket.... And delighted the very many stray cats (and myself). There are so many stray cats in Tangiers! Most are in reasonable condition as many locals do feed them. (My observation) And to make sure that the cultural requirements were tended to, visited tge Kasbah....a Cuban artists exhibition....the "Legation United States of America" - don't miss this! It's amazing! I stayed at the Hotel Mauritania in the Medina. A very cheap local hotel (that made this trip possible). I had a single room with my own bathroom. The room, whilst spartan, was clean. My inner hippy surfaced, and I soon made it 'my space' (I unpacked)! The white sheets and towels are clean - just not bright white. Every evening on returning, the room always smelt fresh. You get one towel for your whole stay. The shower has gorgeous hot water....but you have to wait about 5 x minutes before the hot water comes up. The hotel is directly round the corner from the nicest restaurant in the Medina...the Gran Cafe Central. I can truly say that I've experienced Tangier. I had a unique adventure every day. The weather (mid January) was between 17 and 21*C. Stunning blue skies. Only one morning when it rained, but wasn't windy or cold. Absolutely worth the visit!!

El operador local simplemente ignoró la reservación. Nunca contestó a los mensajes y también a Viator los ignoró.
