Tangier Tourism

Lying on the Maghreb coast, in North-western Morocco and nicknamed as the “Door of Africa” and the “Bride of the North”, Tangier is an important industrial and tourism hub of the country. Nestled at the confluence of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, this port city oozes out typical European feels. 

Presenting a fascinating amalgamation of virgin beaches, glorious history, and intriguing mystery, the city of Tangier has been the inspiration behind a number of renowned works, including The Sheltering Sky by Paul Blowles and Naked Lunch by William Burroughs. The quaint city is packed with bohemian cafes, which add to the whimsical atmosphere of this place.

Tangier is packed with a number of age-old attractions that you will love to explore on foot. Some of the top places of interest in this idiosyncratic city include St Andrew’s Church, the American Legation Museum, the Grand Socco, and Librairie Des Colonnes.

While you are in Tangier, you can plan to enjoy a movie at the Cinema Rif, relish some Moroccon mint tea at Petit Socco, and relax at the beach promenade. You can also shop for dried nuts and colourful kaftans from the market stalls at the Grand Socco.

Tangier experiences a warm, temperate climate with dry and hot summers and rainy winters. The city receives its best weather between August and September, when it is generally dry and warm.
