I traveled for 3 hours by coach on a scenic coastal road to Tangier, the beautiful light and multicul- tural spirit of which have drawn travelers to Morocco for centuries. People have been living in Tangier since colonists from Carthage settled there in the fifth century BC, and over the years it has traded hands between several kingdoms and empires, and served as refuge for countless cultures.
I arrive around 11:30am and check into the hotel, which is located near Tangier’s beach and city center and offers up close views of the Strait of Gibraltar and the Atlantic Ocean.

Afternoon: Beginning at about 2pm, we’ll experience the lively modern culture of this ancient coastal city during a 3.5-hour guided tour that includes the medina, the Petit Socco (Little Square), and the Grand Socca (Large Square). We return to the hotel around 5:30pm.Läs mer
