See where the Ancient Greek demi-god rested before undertaking his 11th labor at Hercules Cave, a subterranean land of history and myth. The grotto has been formed by erosion and by human hand, with Berbers cutting chunks from the walls to make millstones. Today, the cave's atmospheric illumination creates an evocative environment in which to learn about the myths and history surrounding the site. One of two entries to the cave, the sea entrance has been named the "Map of Africa," thought to have been carved out by the Phoenicians to represent the continent when seen from the water. Make Hercules Cave part of your personalized Tangier itinerary using our Tangier trip itinerary maker tool.

    An excellent place to stop over and go through the caves. There is no admission fee. Plan for 30 minutes inside.

    I've been to this historical monument several times. It's an organized place and rich with natural landscapes & seascapes. The entry is free for the right side of the cave inside which the the shape of the African continent is found. Whereas the left side will cost you 5dh(as per 2018) to enter. enjoy your visit and watch out for fraud.

    Lovely attraction to visit. Family and disabled friendly but bring comfortable footwear. Awesome views and places to explore but come on quiet days otherwise it’s ruined by the number of people.
