Known as “the door of Africa” and situated on the northwesternmost point of the continent, Tangier, Morocco, has a rich international history as a trading center and haven for spies, diplomats and businessmen. Immerse yourself in the city’s heritage by traveling to these five destinations.
Souks
Tangier has many souks, or markets, most notably the Grand Socco and Petit Socco. Fresh fruits, vegetables, meats, textiles, crafts and even imitation Louis Vuitton can be found in the souks where the city comes alive.
Spartel Lighthouse
At the entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic sits the lighthouse at Cape Spartel, which has a historical past.
Caves of Hercules
Near Cape Spartel lies the Caves of Hercules, where according to myth Hercules stayed while completing his labors. At one point the caves became used as a brothel. Referred to as “the map of Africa,” the sea opening in the caves depicts a silhouette of the continent.
The American Legation
One of the first countries to recognize the United States as a country, during George Washington’s presidency the United States opened its first consulate in Tangier.
Camels
You have not experienced Tangier unless you’ve rode camels on the beach.
One more thing, Moroccan cuisine bursts with flavor and you must try it!
