Field Trip OptionsCosta del Sol 
Excursion to Tangier Retrace the path of the Moors across the Strait of Gibraltar on an excursion to Tangier, Morocco! Inhabited by the Berbers since the Stone Age, Morocco has attracted in turn the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Portuguese, Spanish, and French, all of whom have left their marks upon the country's history and traditions. Morocco was among the very first nations to formally recognize the new United States; a Treaty of Friendship between the two countries, signed in 1836, has been unbroken ever since. Travel south along the coast to Algeciras, at the southernmost tip of Spain. Board a swift hydrofoil for the one-hour crossing of the Strait of Gibraltar. You'll cross the strait again by hydrofoil for your return to Algeciras. A local guide will introduce Tangier, from which great civilizations have sprung into Europe. See the fabled Casbah, the highest place in the old medina, where the Sultan's palace is located. Practice the fine art of bargaining at the picturesque market of the Grand Socco (souk). Morocco is well-known for its fine leather goods, silver and gold jewelry, in-laid and carved wood objects, spices, copperware and carpets. Exotic, eclectic images will fill your visit to this corner of Africa: mosques and minarets, souks and casbahs, magic carpets, haggling salesmen, snake charmers, camels, sultans and belly dancers. The unimaginable difference that a few miles of open water can make! Lunch is included on the excursion. We are now required to obtain all travelers' passport numbers, country of origin, date of issue and date of expiration before any reservation to Morocco can be made on your behalf.
