The Gateway to Africa
Tangier
Tangier has seduced writers and painters for a century. Explore the Kasbah Museum, sip coffee at Café Hafa above the Strait of Gibraltar, then drive to the Caves of Hercules and Cap Spartel where two seas collide.
Trip highlights
- Kasbah & Petit Socco guided medina walk
- Café Hafa terrace over the Strait
- Cap Spartel & the Caves of Hercules
Getting there
As the gateway city to Northern Morocco, most visitors arrive by ferry from Spain, flight into Ibn Battuta Airport, or as the starting hub of a regional circuit.
Good to know
The historic medina and Kasbah sit on steep coastal hillsides; expect substantial walking up stone stairways and sloping alleys.
