This Asilah day trip from Tangier follows the Atlantic coast south to three places that most tours skip. Asilah is a small whitewashed town inside Portuguese ramparts, where artists paint new murals on the medina walls every summer. Lixus is one of the oldest archaeological sites in Morocco, with Phoenician and Roman remains on a hill above the river Loukkos. And Larache is a relaxed port with a Spanish-era square and a lively market.
It is a gentle day with short drives, around 45 minutes from Tangier to Asilah and about the same again to Larache. Your English-speaking driver adjusts the timing so you can enjoy a long seafood lunch by the ocean.
It works well for travelers who already know Chefchaouen, or who want a calm day after the busy streets of Tangier. If you want to see Tangier itself first, the Tangier day tour is the perfect companion.
