Top Things to See and Do in Gibraltar
The Great Siege Tunnels of Gibraltar
The country has miles of underground tunnels, the oldest of which were dug during the Great Siege of Gibraltar 1779–1783.
Its construction began at the end of the siege on the orders of the then provincial governor, General Elliot.
It is also amazing to imagine that most of these tunnels were dug by sledgehammer within a few weeks, contributing to the defeat of the French and Spanish attackers of this country.

Old Town of Gibraltar
One of the most unique and surreal parts of Gibraltar is its old town.
It occupies the north-western corner of the territory and is only a 15-minute walk from the airport.
A network of narrow lanes surrounding the central street are filled with shops and restaurants that make you feel like you are in Britain.
However, the strange combination of architecture with the clear blue sky also makes you feel like you are in the Mediterranean.

Ibrahim Al Ibrahim Mosque
Although it cannot be compared to a mosque 1000-year-old Cordoba in sheer grandeur
However, the Ibrahim Mosque is a wonderful example of modern Islamic architecture.
Located at the southern tip of Gibraltar, it looks spectacular when viewed from the west, with the great rock rising in the background.
The mosque was built between 1995 and 1997, and contains a library and lecture hall as well as a worship space.

The Rock
The geographical feature from which Gibraltar takes its full name is a 400-metre (1,312 ft) high cliff.
From its summit you can enjoy breathtaking views of three countries (Gibraltar And Spain And MoroccoMy continentEurope and Africa).
It is reached by cable car from the main station. On the southern edge of the old town.
When you reach the top, you will be greeted with a warm welcome by the region's famous Barbary macaques.
You also have to keep in mind that on days when the wind is strong, the cable car does not operate, because it can swing dangerously and frighteningly.
The Rock
St. Michael's Cave
The most fascinating geological attraction in Gibraltar is St Michael's Cave.
It is a series of very deep limestone chambers and tunnels that were thought to run under the strait all the way to Africa.
It consists of an upper section 45 metres (148 ft) long, and below it narrow tunnels descending to a depth of 62 metres (203 ft).
Furthermore, these underground chambers were used for defensive purposes by the Moors and the Spanish and were prepared (although never used) as a hospital during World War II.

Gibraltar Nature Reserve
This protected area of fauna and flora was designated the Gibraltar Nature Reserve in 2013, andIt now covers nearly 40% of the land.
It stretches across the country and is home to Barbary macaques as well as red foxes, mouse-eared bats, five species of lizards, six species of snakes and more.
The views of Spain from north to south – including the Atlas Mountains – are worth a visit.

Loyalty Tower
The main defensive tower of the country's 8th-century Moorish castle, it is the highest remaining in Spain from the days of Moorish rule.
Its ruined exterior tells of the many battles this massive structure has seen.
In fact, it required extensive rebuilding in the mid-14th century.
It was badly damaged during the Moorish reconquest of the area from the Christians (Gibraltar was under Moorish rule between 711 and 1309, and again from 1350 to 1462).
It is located high in the rugged terrain of the western side of the rock.
It's one of the first things you notice when you walk across the border into Gibraltar from Spain.

Dolphin sighting
The waters off Gibraltar – particularly in the Bay of Algeciras – are rich in marine life.
Including whales, bluefin tuna and a large number of dolphins.
One of the most moving sights the trip offers is seeing dolphins sailing and leaping through the clear blue waters, often with their young alongside.
As the sun sets over the bay of Algeciras (a time when they are particularly active).
Additionally, they have been known to jump right over the bows of small boats, giving visitors some great photo opportunities.

Windsor Suspension Bridge
Opened last year, the Windsor Suspension Bridge is the latest addition to Gibraltar's tourist scene and a must-see for visitors looking for extreme thrills.
The bridge spans a 70-metre (230-foot) wide and 50-metre (164-foot) deep gorge in a steep nature reserve in the province.
Which makes it swing in the wind and is definitely not for those with a fear of heights.
