Known as the "Dream City" by Paul Bowles, Tangier can be called one of the most beautiful cities on the southern shore of the Mediterranean: with a rich history, even dating back to antiquity, endless beaches, and breathtaking scenery.
Tangier is a must for anyone who wants to visit Morocco, no matter what their interests are, because let's face it, there are many ways to experience Tangier.
It is difficult not to fall under the charm, or completely in love with the pearl of the Strait.
For a cultural trip, immersed in history, the starting point is the Grand Socco square, the most visited place in the city. It is possible to take a seat on the terrace of the Cinematheque to enjoy a good tea, while observing the animation of the square, or to undertake its journey between the streets of its enchanting medina.
Medina offers a dive into history: visit the Kasbah museum, shop in one of its bazaars that contain real treasures, or enjoy the breathtaking view of the Strait from the promenade of Bab Al-Bhar (Sea Gate).
It is also in Tangier that you can enjoy an excellent tea, which is a real institution in this city, with a magnificent view. Don't forget to have a tea at sunset on one of the many terraces of the Kasbah, the sunsets are breathtaking.
In Tangier, there is a real artistic vibe. Many writers, painters, and filmmakers have decided to make Tangier their home, and have made it their muse.
The city is also known for being the meeting point between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, at the level of Cape Spartel, which is located a few kilometers from the mythical cave of Hercules.
Tangier is also a very pleasant seaside destination, with beaches as far as the eye can see, whether you like the big waves of the Atlantic or the clear waters of the Mediterranean. The summer is dry and warm, perfect for sunbathing and enjoying the various water sports on offer, or for a yacht trip from the Marina, a real must for yachting and cruising tourism.
The pearl of the Strait also hosts a number of national and international festivals, including the National Film Festival and Tanjazz. It has been over the years a real place of pilgrimage for artists from around the world.
The nightlife is not left out. You can enjoy its restaurants and pubs with a breathtaking view of the bay or the marina.
