The Rock of Gibraltar is world famous so if you are visiting the area it would be a great shame not to spend a couple of hours exploring the Rock itself! Apart from the great beauty of the Rock and the stunning views of Gibraltar, the Costa del Sol and Africa which are visible from the top of the Rock, there is a vast amount of interesting history surrounding the Rock dating back to the year 711 A.D. In 711 A.D. Tarik Ibn Zeyad, a Berber leader of the Arab Governor of North Africa “Musa Ibn Nosseyer” landed at the Southern end of the Rock. The word Gibraltar is a derivative from the Arabic words “Jebel Tarik” which means Tariks Mountain, and so his memory lives on.
The Rock of Gibraltar is very easy to access and can be done so by taking the Cable Car to the top of the Rock, by taking part in a guided tour, or by venturing out yourself and exploring the Rock. To gain the most from your Gibraltar Rock experience a guided tour is advisable as you and your friends and family will be driven and escorted around the Rock and have the chance to see things that you would not necessarily have seen on your own.
For the ultimate Rock experience book a Gibraltar Rock Tour. The tours run regularly and are very modestly priced. The booking offices are situated at the Frontier and at the bottom of the Rock.Visiting the Rock of Gibraltar is a memorable experience that everyone will enjoy.
