About Tangier

Tangier sits where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, a storied Moroccan port of whitewashed medina lanes, a hilltop kasbah and views to Spain.

The medina climbs from the port to the kasbah, where the old sultan's palace, Dar el Makhzen, holds a museum with views across the Strait of Gibraltar. The Grand Socco and Petit Socco were long the meeting points of the city, and their cafés recall Tangier's decades as an international zone that drew writers, musicians and artists.
