OVERVIEW

Tangier is a large city at the entrance to the Mediterranean, with a historic medina, residential districts and modern port infrastructure spread across coastal hills, while moroccan and international influences remain visible. The combination of atlantic light, hilltop medina streets and cross continental history in a port city long shaped by trade and migration and city gives the wider destination a distinct physical and cultural structure.

Walking, food and museums provide strong cultural depth, while nearby capes and beaches add variety, while the city is energetic and rapidly changing. Experiencing atlantic light alongside hilltop medina streets and cross continental history in a port city long shaped by trade and migration reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known visitor area.
