A Tour of Tangier with a Writer Journey into the Details

Exploring Tangier with a writer offers a unique experience, taking you beyond the usual sights. In this city where the ocean meets the Mediterranean and Europe touches Africa, every corner becomes a story waiting to be told. With their keen eye, the writer transforms the tour into a vibrant narrative.

You’ll uncover the secrets of the Kasbah’s narrow alleys and the old souks, while learning the deeper significance of places like Café Hafa, once a haven for intellectuals. Even simple moments—waves crashing or the call to prayer—gain new meaning through a literary lens.

This tour is not just about history or the present, but an experience that leaves you with a lasting impression, inviting you to return to the city just as you would to a beloved book.

 Verified A great way to see Tangier in a day
My wife and I booked a tour with Yousef, on the recommendation of the Rick Steves guidebooks. We are happy with this choice and recommend it to others. It was a great way to see Tangier, especially because we had very limited time.We did this tour as a day trip from Tarifa Spain. Youssef sent us the reservation number for our ferry tickets, and we picked the tickets up at the ferry terminal with no problem.The ferry ride over and back was fine. The ferry is fairly typical, with comfortable seats. It has a snack bar, of course. We cleared Morocco passport control and customs on the ferry. When we got off the ferry, Youssef was right there with a sign, so it was easy to find him.We really enjoyed the driving tour of Tangier City, where we viewed the parks and hills of Tangier city. Several beautiful parks, with good views of the sea. We enjoyed the Cave of Hercules and seeing where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Youssef offered to take us to a camel ride, but we declined, having done those before. Next was the highlight of the tour; Youssef took us to his house and his wife served us tea and sweets. We really enjoyed getting to make new friends.Youssef dropped us off at a restaurant for lunch. We ordered from the menu, and when we were done, the restaurant called Youssef, and he picked us up. Youssef then gave us a tour of the old city and Kasbah. We aren’t overly interested in shopping, so we didn’t purchase any souvenirs or other items, but it was fun to see the city.As other reviews have mentioned, Youssef was a very good host. He made us feel quite comfortable. He seems to know almost everyone in town, constantly greeting people and shaking hands throughout our tour.

 Verified A Wonderful Day in Tangier with Youssef!
We had a wonderful day exploring Tangier with Youssef as our guide. He picked us up at the ferry station with a car and driver. We began by exploring the new city by car, learning about its development and transition. It was so different than we expected. We drove to the top of the city where the wealthy live before descending down to the Atlantic coast. An unexpected surprise was being able to ride dromedaries on the beach!Then we had another special experience- having tea and sweet treats at Youssef’s home, learning more about the culture and learning that he is a computer author in Tangier. As we walked through the old town, we continually met friends of Youssef. It made us feel more like locals than tourists. We learned and encountered so much on our day in Tangier with Youssef. We highly recommend him as your guide to maximize your experience in Tangier!!!

 Verified A great day in Tangier
We had an amazing tour of Tangier with Youssef. He told us there 1.2 million people that live there and I’m pretty sure he said hello to 999,999 of them along our walk. The tour was filled with all the history and sightseeing you would expect, but then also had a lot of personal touches that really gave us a sense of what it is like to live there. We also were lucky to be there on a Sunday which was a “market” day so the casbah was rocking. The lunch spot he took us too was fantastic and reasonably priced. We learned to haggle for rugs. A great day and experience.

 Verified Amazing Moroccan Experience!
Amazing experience! Highly recommend booking Youssef as your travel guide. We experienced so much on a one day trip from Tarifa, Spain to Tangier, Morocco. Youssef greeted us at the Port and we were off to an amazing Moroccan adventure.  Our highlights were riding the camel, visiting the point where the Atlantic and the Mediterranean ocean meet, the amazing Moroccan cuisine, walking through the Medina, and meeting Youssef and his wife for traditional Moroccan tea at their home. Youssef is also a prominent Author of Tangier. He shared his love for Moroccan literature and his two published books with us. One of his books is used in the Educational system in Tangier schools.Honored to have had the opportunity to experienced Moroccan life with Youssef! Don’t miss out! Book Youssef today!

 Verified As good as a guide can be.
Youssef is a marvelous guide. He is a native of Tangier and lives and works in the immediate area of the medina. He is very articulate and knowledgeable about the history and the life in Tangier and guided us effortlessly through the medina, carefully explaining everything that we saw and experienced. Later, we were able to meet his family as his wife gives cooking classes in their home. The entire experience was wonderful and a true education.

 Verified Unbelievable
Youseff made our time in Tangier unforgettable. He went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our time, learned the history, and experienced the culture. This was, by far, the best tour we have ever had. Now, I cannot imagine having gone to Tangier without Youseff!

 Verified Great Tangier Tour Experience
We came to Tangier for a day trip from Casablanca. We had reserved the car/ driver and a guide through someone we knew. Mr. Youssef was waiting at the train station with our name Sign. He welcomed us with warm greetings. The car was Mercedes Van, very comfortable and clean. Our driver was Mr. Ismael, very courteous and kind. Mr. Youssef is a very knowledgeable and a kind person. We found out that Youssef is also an author and has written few novels and published the books. Youssef took us to all parts of Tangier for the entire day, to the outskirts of Tangier. We saw where Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean meet, saw us the King’s palace, Hercules caves, Kasbah, Medina etc. He invited us to his home for tea and sweets. His wife, Ms. Hind was very gracious and welcoming. We learned firsthand how a Moroccan family lives, their traditions and cultures. Overall it was indeed a great experience and we really loved it. I strongly recommend Youssef as an expert, knowledgeable tour guide of Tangier as he is borne here m, and lives here, so very familiar with the history of the city. I give him and his driver 5 stars for service and expertise.Abbas, New York USA

 Verified Excellent local Private Tangier Guide
Yosef Chebaa is an excellent private tour guide, we recommend him highly. He is prompt, courteous, friendly, knowledgable, engaging, entertaining. The highlight of our tour was spending a short time with him in his home, meeting his lovely wife and savoring her special brew of tea and a platter of her delicious homemade desserts. Yosef provided us with a reading list of authors/books for learning more about Tangier. We were completely cared for our entire visit. We are both so glad he was our guide. We saw so much more in our 4 hours than we could have managed on our own. Thank you so much, Yosef. Also, our good impression is it seems practically everyone in the city knows him. He is a published author with one of his novels now being used in the Tangier's school system. He writes weekly a section for the newspaper.
