What travelers say:

The cave, also known as the African cave, is a natural cave located a few kilometers southwest of Cape Spate. The name is derived from the Greek myth of Hercules. In Greek mythology, the ancient continent of Africa was connected to Eurasia, and under the wrath of Heracles, the Gibraltar Mountain was split in one hand, which brought together the waters of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and thus appeared the Strait of Gibraltar. This act infuriated Zeus, and Heracles was punished for lifting the weights forever. Hercules Cave is not famous for this mythical story, but because there is a cave in the cave that resembles the "African map", and even the outline of Madagascar can be clearly seen below the map. Address: Tangier, Moroccan Transport: There is no public transportation in this place. If you are not driving by yourself, come before chartering a car. It costs about AED 250 to and from Africa Cave. The price is about 175 yuan. Every attraction will wait for you to take pictures for a while. Three hours is enough.
