Tangier
Strait of Gibraltar · Gateway Port
Tangier is Morocco’s northern gateway where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean and Africa looks across to Spain — a layered, slightly bohemian city of café-lined Soccos, a hilltop Kasbah, and the cave on Cap Spartel where the sea breaks through an opening shaped like the map of Africa.

Eat & Drink
What they eat in Tangier.
The dishes, markets and food experiences worth your appetite — drawn from our own guides on the ground. We point you to what to eat and where the locals eat it, not invented restaurant rankings.
The medina, Kasbah and Soccos are all walkable and best explored on foot; for Cap Spartel and the Caves you’ll want a petit taxi (agree the fare first) or a private driver. Spring and autumn bring the most pleasant weather and the loveliest light. Confirm current prices when you book.
