Welcome to Tangier

A coastal Moroccan city shaped by many worlds

Tangier feels distinctly Moroccan, Mediterranean, and Atlantic—and entirely its own (learn more about Tangier on Wikipedia). Serving as the historic gateway between Africa and Europe across the Strait of Gibraltar, its ancient Medina weaves narrow whitewashed streets between artisan souks, quiet Andalusian courtyards, and scenic panoramic terraces overlooking the Mediterranean and Atlantic coastlines.
