Enjoy an Asilah Day Trip from Tangier

Take a scenic drive along the coast to Asilah, a picturesque seaside town known for its whitewashed streets, colorful murals, and calm beach vibes. Wander through the Medina, visit historic ramparts, and enjoy lunch by the ocean. A peaceful escape from the city.
An Asilah day trip from Tangier takes less than an hour along the Atlantic coast and lands you in a different tempo. The medina is small, whitewashed and edged in blue, enclosed by ramparts the Portuguese built in the fifteenth century. Every summer since the late 1970s an arts festival has left new murals on its walls, so the town changes a little each year.
There is not much you need to do in Asilah, which is the point. Walk the walls above the sea, look at the murals, browse a gallery or two, and sit down to lunch with the ocean in front of you.
A good choice for a slower day, for families, and for travellers who want the coast without the crowds.

Coming from Spain for the day
Doing this tour as a Tangier day trip from Spain
- Start: at the exit of the Tangier Ville port, where the Tarifa ferry docks, or at Tanger Med with a transfer if you cross from Algeciras.
- Ferry: the Tarifa crossing takes about an hour and lands in the city centre. Tickets are bought from the ferry company; we help you choose sailings and buy them if you wish.
- Fit: at 5 to 6 hours, the Asilah day trip is a full day from Tangier and does not fit between two same-day sailings; combine it with a night in Tangier, or ask us about the earliest crossings.
- Documents: a valid passport is required to enter Morocco; check the rules for your nationality.
- Return: tell us your sailing and we bring you back to the terminal with a margin.
