Tanger - Morocco, the first international city

At the meeting point between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean, the beautiful Tangier city presents an unforgettable landscape that has seduced centuries for generations of artists,
including Eugène Delacroix, Camille-Saint -Saëns, Pierre Loti or even Paul Morand. 

With its temperate climate, its abundant vegetation, its distinct brightness and its strip of beach stretching over 3 kilometers, Tangier attracts thousands of tourists every year. Its history also makes it a mythical city, land of successive occupations: the one whose history would have started with one of the stories of the Twelve Works of Hercules, the gods Tanjus and Antée would be at the origin, was marked successively by a Phoenician presence, then Carthaginian, Romanesque, Vandal, Byzantine without forgetting Visigothic and Arabic.

The city of foreigners, as it is called, keeps the traces of these periods of colonization without respite: the old Medina thus preserves the memories of the Muslim influence: hardly crossed the threshold, you will be assailed by the smells and the scents of the great Socco, literally the great Soukh, who inspired a novel of the same name by Joseph Kessel…. Traders in traditional costume will hail you to sell you the traditional clothes of the country and its leather goods. A few meters away, you will also admire the Sidi Bou Abid Mosque, whose polychrome earthenware minaret is the favorite attraction of visitors due to its beauty. Please note: entry to this place of worship is prohibited for non-Muslims.

Conversely, the modern city of Tangier, you feel like you're in an European country , has an european architectural expertise.

The Café's is one of its essential pillars. Tangier is definitely one of the cities you must visit before you take a car and start your amazing adventure to the rest of morocco.
