Tanger

The city of Tangier (in Arabic طنجة, Tanja; in Latin Tingis) is a port in northern Morocco. Located at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, at the meeting point between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, the beautiful Tangier presents an unforgettable landscape that for centuries has attracted generations of artists, including Eugène Delacroix, Camille Saint-Saëns, Pierre Loti and Paul Morand. With its temperate climate, important vegetation, its luminosity and the strip of beach that extends for 3 km in a distinct way, Tangier seduces thousands of tourists every year. Its history makes it a mythical city, a land of relentless occupations and colonizations. The Old Medina preserves memories of Muslim influence: as soon as you cross the threshold, you will be assailed by the smells and perfumes of the Grand Socco literally known as the great soukh. Merchants in traditional costume will convince you to buy traditional clothes of the country and genuine leather products. A few meters away, you can also admire the Sidi Bou Abid Mosque, a favorite attraction for visitors. But be careful: entry to this place of worship is forbidden to non-Muslims. On the contrary, the modern city of Tangier, has preserved the French architectural experience, distinguishing itself The Grand Café de Paris, one of its fundamental pillars. Tangier is certainly one of those cities that must be deeply known to discover its wonders.
