The Medina: A Labyrinth of Culture and Tradition
The medina of Tanger is one of Morocco’s most atmospheric. Narrow alleys open to small cafés, artisan workshops, colorful stalls, and terraces with panoramic views over the Strait of Gibraltar. Here, tradition remains alive:
- Artisans still craft leather, weaving, and jewelry using ancestral techniques.
- Storytellers and musicians keep old traditions vibrant.
- Local markets overflow with colors and scents—fresh mint, saffron, olives, pastries, and aromatic spices.

Kasbah & Sultan’s Palace
Overlooking the sea, the Kasbah is Tanger’s crown jewel. Its fortified gates open the way to centuries of history and to the former Sultan’s Palace (Dar el Makhzen), now home to an exceptional museum of Moroccan arts and antiquities. The carved ceilings, ornate zellige mosaics, and lush gardens reflect Morocco’s royal heritage at its finest.
The Café Culture of Tanger
Café Hafa, perched on a cliff since 1921, remains the soul of the city. You sit facing the sea, sipping mint tea, watching the horizon where two continents meet. It is simple, yet unforgettable.
