Its cosmopolitan past lingering still in the air

Tangier earns its bad reputation: Tourists are fair game, lots of beggars and shop hawkers, hard to get rid of your 'new friends', violence is too commonplace
In a nutshell
Not the best place for first time visitors to Morocoo
13 Reviews Tangiers medina is quite small in comparison with other Moroccan cities. The walled city runs up the side of the hill to the kasbah. You can enter the medina from the Grand Socco through the gate and into Rue as-Siaghin. This used to be the old Jewish quarter where a gold market used to operate.
10 Reviews Kasbah means fortress.THe kasbah is in the medina;other arab word meaning town.In fact medina is the old town in the arab towns.Zoco is the word for souk or street market.Socco is a bad spanish translation. My travel to Morocco was my second travel abroad.I went from Algeciras to Tangier and then...
6 Reviews Grand Socco means Big Square or market in Spanish. It also has an official (although rarely used) name of Place du 9 Avril 1947 which relates to the present Kings grandfather (Sultan Mohammed V) and the countries independence.
4 Reviews 4 They smell poorly, not sure why anyone would ever fall in love with them. THey have buck teeth, they are built funny, but we had fun. We decided that we had to ride a camel just to experience it, and I can tell you it is a weird sensation when the thing tries to get up, you feel like you are...
5 Reviews Tangier displays one of the largest beaches that I saw in Morocco. The weather in mid September was good, but the beach was empty. Why? Cold water? Dangerous sea? Maybe both, but the emptiness and abandoned look were not attractive.
3 Reviews Opened from Sunday to Saturday except Tuesday (9-13 / 15-18) This ancient palace of the sultan was established under the kingdom of Moulay ismail and it knew different expansions through the next centuries. This palace has very beautiful apartments dressed in carved mosaic and plaster and it is...
1 Review Located in the heart of the Medina, this little square is one of the most picturesque sites in Tangier. The noisy bustling crowd in multi-colored clothing really contrasts with those who have time to idle away over a cup of mint tea at the terraces of the cafes. This is an interesting place to have...
2 Reviews Lies west of the Grand Socco. We visited this church on a Sunday it was truly a oasis in this area of Tangier, we were presented with a cross made out of palm leaf did not have the hart to tell them i am a non believer.
2 Reviews Granted, I'm not American and 99% of my friends aren't either - but I'm still amazed that not one of my friends who have visited Morocco has visited the American Legation in Tangier. A working legation from 1821 until 1956, it is now a museum and serves to illustrates through art, furniture, maps...

matcrazy1 Says: Most visitors get to Tanger for 1 or 2-day visit either by passenger ferry or faster hydrofoil from Spain (Algeciras) or Gibraltar. Some buy a ferry/bus tour: Ceuta (ferry from Algeciras) - Tetouan - Tangier (details: follow the link given below).But I arrived to Tangier by...
Traditional Art Gallery: Horrible Experience with Rug Purchase
giffora Says: Traditional Art Gallery sells many items but specializes in rugs that are handmade locally. Don't buy anything from these people. Very unreputable! I spent almost $3000 for a rug that has never been delivered and it has been over 3 months since I purchased it!
Street Sellers and Many Market Stalls and Shops: Geodes from Morocco
PolygonC Says: not relevant - sold by lots of different street hawkers. Beautiful 'geodes' split in half rocks that contain wonderful crystal formations in superb colours. We saw rocks whose exteriors were white mainly, but also saw one grey one. (I wish we had bought this when offered...
solopes Says: It was fun to watch the local market in Ksar-es-Seghir, near Tangier, with all the women in... uniform. We had already seen that striped djellaba, but never saw so many people together, and all with the sane pattern. The village seems poor, the market was poor, but the...
oznztofro Says: If your going to tangier via the ferry take a Can of Deoderant plus a lighter. Why because you will need it to blow flames and at *** Morrocan who comes up to you and trying to sell you crap or take you to crapI threated to Call the police if they didnt stop bothering me.I...
taoumitour Says: How would you think a tour in 4 languages would be ?While the bus in driving the guide that speaks the 4 languages is human beeing.when you buy the excursion in spain, make sure about the language.... And in case if there are many expect that you will get what the other...
solopes Says: Maybe the sea is dangerous or cold in this northern coast, maybe the lack of infra-structures or the hard access keep people away, but the very nice beach of this small village near Tangier (with bad name in Portuguese history...), seems to deserve another kind of human...
grandmaR Says: Part of our tour from Spain to Tangier involved a visit to the free Forbes Museum of Military Miniatures. It was very interesting, but hard to take pictures because of the glare of the glass cases.Malcolm Forbes, who was an American publisher (1919-1990) of Forbes magazine...
Bennytheball Says: The Algeciras to Tanger Med ferries are the way I always enter and exit Morocco from Spain, it's cheaper at €20 one way per foot passenger, and the hourly sailings operate eighteen hours a day, on the summer timetable. A free transfer coach transports ferry passengers to the...

Better surroundings than the city itself
Tanger was the second place and city I visited in Morocco (after Tetouan) and to be honest it was not my favourite city in Morocco. It seemed to me too dirty, too strange, too unpleasant even...
What comes to your mind when you think in Tangier? Mint Tea … relax , sitting on a terrace, letting the hours pass by with no rush. Smells, colours, life, people .. The past and the present ….......
Tangier, a street corner where Europe meets Africa
Tangier is the street corner where Europe meets Africa; where the Atlantic washes into the Mediterranean and where an intersection of Islam and Christendom comes together. Tangier, known as the...
Hans and I thought it would be fun to take a side trip to Tangier, while we were in Spain. So we went to our favourite local travel agency in Torremolinos and booked a day tour. This year's price...
We had wanted to see Tangier, but couldn't make our minds up whether to go for a day trip, or take advantage of the two-day mini tours which can be had for less than 100 Euros. As Mary hadn't...
