Introduction

There is a unique cave near the Atlantic coast not far from Tangier, called "Hercules Cave" or "African Cave" by locals. Although the entrance to the cave is not very large, it has a very unique shape. Its mouth resembles a map of Africa, with even the distant island of Madagascar visible. The formation of this cave took thousands of years, created by the constant erosion of waves on the rock. Today, Hercules Cave has become a major natural wonder in Tangier.

Transportation

Because the Herculane Caves are located near the Spartel Cape, travelers can take a large taxi from the center of Tangier to Spartel Cape and the Herculane Caves. The cost of the fare ranges from 250-300 Moroccan Dirhams depending on the duration of the visit. Two hours is usually enough time for the tour, and it is recommended to plan according to the sunset time.
