Tangier Day Trip from Gibraltar via Blands Travel

<p>The Strait of Gibraltar is only 14 kilometres wide at its narrowest point. Tangier, Morocco is visible from the Rock on any clear day. Blands Travel, Gibraltar's established travel operator, runs guided day trips from Gibraltar into Tangier that take you across that narrow strip of water and into North Africa for the day.</p> <p>The trip departs at 07:00 and runs for 12 hours. The Tangier itinerary includes the Plaza de la Kasbah, the bazaars and souks of the medina, and a traditional Moroccan lunch included in the price. A guide accompanies the group throughout, which is useful in a city where the medina's streets can disorient first-time visitors quickly.</p> <p>Tangier has changed enormously in recent years, the city has been significantly redeveloped and modernised, but the medina remains a dense, atmospheric tangle of lanes, workshops, and spice merchants that bears little resemblance to anything in Europe. Going as a day trip from Gibraltar rather than flying directly from the UK means you arrive with the unusual experience of having crossed between three countries in a single day: Spain, Britain (Gibraltar), and Morocco.</p> <p>Pricing is on application, contact Blands Travel at travel@blandstravel.com or +350 200 50932 for current rates and availability. A private Tangier tour option is also available for groups who prefer a fully customised itinerary.</p>
