طنجة بوابة افريقيا | Tangier, the gateway to Africa
Why visit
Tangier is the Morocco entry where ferries, medina streets, cafes, Atlantic and Mediterranean edges, and rail links all meet. It is useful when the trip is moving between Europe and North Africa.
When to avoid
Do not visit Tangier expecting every worthwhile stop to be close together or easy to improvise. In Tangier, a good plan starts with the constraints, not with the number of sights. Medina areas can involve persistent selling, unofficial guiding, and confusing streets. Confirm prices, avoid accepting help that turns into a demand for payment, and use taxis or guides when the route becomes more trouble than it is worth.
