Tangier

Where Continents and Cultures Meet

Perched at the crossroads of Africa and Europe, Tangier is Morocco’s northern gateway — a city of intrigue, inspiration, and vibrant contrasts. Overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, Tangier has long captivated travelers, writers, and artists with its mix of Mediterranean charm, Arab-Andalusian flair, and colonial mystique.

Known as the “White City,” Tangier offers a compelling blend of cultures. Stroll through the historic medina, where twisting alleyways open to bustling markets, hidden cafés, and centuries-old mosques. Visit the Kasbah Museum, once a sultan’s palace, or explore the Grand Socco, a lively square connecting old and new Tangier.

Tangier is also rich with literary and artistic heritage — once a playground for legends like Paul Bowles, William Burroughs, and Henri Matisse. Today, its evolving cultural scene is reflected in chic galleries, stylish riads, and seaside promenades lined with cafés.

Just outside the city, you’ll find the Caves of Hercules, scenic coastal cliffs, and sweeping beaches perfect for relaxation or watersports. With its international spirit, ocean views, and layered history, Tangier offers a refreshing change of pace and a unique lens into Morocco’s multicultural soul.
