Bland de mest framträdande sakerna man kan göra i Tanger, Marocko, är att besöka Herkulesgrottorna 14 kilometer väster om staden, där besökaren står framför en klippöppning formad som kontinenten Afrika. Därefter beger man sig till Kap Spartel där Atlanten möter Medelhavet. Missa inte Kasbahmuseet för dess utsikt över sundet och dess andalusiska trädgårdar.
1. Caves of Hercules
En naturlig havsöppning formad som Afrikas karta som fångar blicken. Du får se vågorna tränga genom klippan och höra vattnets eko inne i en enorm sal.
Snabba fakta: Nära en miljon besökare går in i denna grotta varje år för att se dess öppning, som i förbluffande grad liknar en karta över kontinenten Afrika. Rester av ben och keramik från äldre stenåldern har hittats
Höjdpunkter: The most beautiful moment you experience is at sunset, when a ray of sun pierces the arch and the walls and water turn into a moving golden painting. Sit low on the back platform and look through the opening from an angle close to the ground, and the full map of Africa appears while the echo of the waves resounds inside the chamber.
2. Cape Spartel
Kontinentens slut där två hav möts i en häpnadsväckande scen ovanför höga klippor. Hoppa mellan klipporna och se solnedgången tvätta den vita fyren med smält guld.
Snabba fakta: On this spot of the African coast, the waves of the Atlantic Ocean clash with the waters of the Mediterranean Sea at a rare meeting point. A white lighthouse 25 meters high has lit the passage since 1864, and the Moroccan sultan took part in funding it along with 16 countries whose international committee still manages it to this day.
Höjdpunkter: Guides often say the lighthouse here does not belong to a single country, as an international committee of 16 countries oversees it to this day, something you will not find at any other Moroccan lighthouse. At sunset, descend to the nearby cave to find a rocky opening shaped like the African continent through which a golden light enters, painting shifting colors on the damp walls above fierce waves.
3. Kasbah Museum
En hel värld av medelhavscivilisationer väntar dig innanför väggarna i ett antikt palats. Du får gå bland föremål som är tusentals år gamla och blicka ut från balkongerna över havssundets vidder.
Snabba fakta: The collection of this palace includes more than 800 archaeological pieces telling the story of the Mediterranean basin from prehistoric times to the nineteenth century. What amazes the visitor most is standing over a Roman mosaic depicting mythical scenes assembled from millions of colored pieces.
Höjdpunkter: From the high terrace on the southern facade, your gaze stretches over the entire Strait of Gibraltar, and on clear days you can see the shores of Spain only 14 kilometers away with the naked eye. In the inner Andalusian garden, a marble sundial still tells the time accurately after centuries, while a fountain of crimson marble flows among rows of palm trees and reflects its murmur on the ornate walls.

4. Tangier American Legation Museum
Det första amerikanska huset på utländsk mark och ett av de sällsyntaste museerna som bevarar en tvåhundraårig vänskap. Du får vandra bland hemliga skåp, gamla handskrifter och marockansk konst som fyller ljusa salar med havets rytm.
Snabba fakta: The first building gifted to the United States on foreign soil, presented by a Moroccan sultan in 1821 after the signing of a friendship treaty that remains in force to this day. Within its walls it holds an archive of more than 5,000 documents and manuscripts, and it is also the only American National Historic Landmark outside the United States.
Höjdpunkter: During World War II, the upper floors were used as a secret center for American agents disguised as a school for the blind under the code name "Port" to hide from the eyes of Axis agents. The dark iron safes and peepholes are still present in its walls, and beside them are more than 80 paintings made by self-taught Moroccans in colors that reflect the blue of the ceilings and doors.
5. Grand Socco
Den naturliga ingången till Medelhavets marknadsvärld och den gamla stadens slingrande gränder. Stanna vid fontänen, drick myntate och bege dig in i den färgglada säljarlabyrinten på några sekunder.
Snabba fakta: An open square separating the walls of the old city from the streets of the modern city, crossed by a street connected directly to the port and the fish market. In its center rises a eucalyptus tree nearly a century old and over twenty meters tall, and it is the point where visitors receive their appointments.
Höjdpunkter: From the building of the Delegation Palace overlooking the square, King Mohammed V delivered the famous speech of April 9, 1947 in which he demanded Morocco's independence, and the square was officially named after that date. An hour before sunset, the overlooking cafes turn into an open theater where oyster vendors and chestnut carts move slowly under a golden light that touches the trunk of the giant tree.
6. Petit Socco
Ett torg som knappt rymmer hundra besökare, men som har fångat en epoks hemligheter av litteratur och spionage. En klunk kaffe där för dig tillbaka till de stora författarnas tid och agenternas viskningar.
Snabba fakta: A square the size of a small waiting room, where writers from twenty nationalities passed through during its most mysterious era. The number of tables at its cafes does not exceed a few dozen, and yet it was a stage for exchanging coded messages between rival agents in the 1940s.
Höjdpunkter: At a cafe overlooking it, William Burroughs was drafting his novel "Naked Lunch" in the 1950s. The story goes that a pot of mint tea used to move between the tables of spies as an agreed-upon signal to change the meeting place on hot nights.
7. St. Andrew's Church
En lugn plats som berättar om en konflikt och en kulturell dialog som sträckte sig över tre århundraden mellan Medelhavets två stränder. Innanför dess murar blandas klockringning med böneutropets eko, och gravstenar berättar om resenärerna som bosatte sig här.
Snabba fakta: More than 300 graves surround its walls, among them the remains of consuls and spies whose bodies chronicled the multicultural history of this city. Light travels through its Moorish arches and paints a scene on colorful Victorian tiles, a sight you will not see in any other church around the world.
Höjdpunkter: Inside, Moroccan arches meet crosses in a rare harmony, as Islamic geometric ornaments frame the stained glass windows beside English oak benches. In the garden courtyard, a marble plaque carved by the British community immortalizes its dead since 1683, the oldest written testimony to the graves of foreigners buried in this land.
8. Perdicaris Park
En skog vid världens kant med utsikt över två kontinenter och två hav i en enda scen. En timmes vandring bland korkekar avslutas med en hisnande utsikt över Gibraltar sund.
Snabba fakta: It stretches over 65 hectares of cork oak and eucalyptus forests, and from its summit you can see the Strait of Gibraltar and the coasts of Spain 14 kilometers away on clear days. Here history met adventure: the original owner of the land was kidnapped in 1904 in an incident that shook Western capitals, and the ocean spray still wets the paths to this day.
Höjdpunkter: From the upper rocky edge you can see with your own eyes the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea: white waves crashing from the west, and calm turquoise waters from the east. The forest paths preserve the story of the kidnapping of its owner in 1904 by a baron of the mountains, an incident that spilled ink in the world press for weeks and was sent by diplomats to Washington overnight.
9. Parc de la Mendoubia
En sällsynt chans att se ett träd som är fyra och ett halvt sekel gammalt mitt i den gamla stadens hjärta. Du får sitta under dess slingrande skugga medan berättelser om konsuler, andar och havets skepp svävar omkring dig.
Snabba fakta: The garden embraces a giant dragon tree over 450 years old, and its branching trunk mimics a miniature forest of twisting trunks. The walls surrounding it belong to an old palace that was the seat of the British delegation and then the French consulate across centuries of history.
Höjdpunkter: The branches of the dark tree extend over an area exceeding 20 meters, looking like two giant arms bending gently toward visitors. Locals tell that this tree is inhabited by a genie that guards the city, and many of them make a point of greeting it or leaving something small at its base before passing by it.

Traditionella söta rätter
Chebakia
Chebakia is a flower shaped pastry fried and dipped in hot honey laced with orange blossom water. In Tangier it is the star of Ramadan tables, often served with mint tea after breaking the fast.
Kaab el Ghazal
Kaab el Ghazal, or gazelle horns, are crescent shaped cookies with a delicate filo crust and a rich almond paste filling scented with orange blossom water. The thin shell shows the filling through it, so bakers shape them freehand rather than with molds.
Sellou
Sellou is a no bake sweet made from toasted flour, almonds, sesame, and honey, pressed into a dense mound. In Tangier it is traditionally served to new mothers to help them regain strength after childbirth.
Traditionella salta rätter
Tagine
Tagine is a slow cooked stew, usually chicken with preserved lemon and olives, named after the cone shaped clay pot it simmers in. The conical lid traps steam so the dish needs very little added water.
Couscous
Couscous is steamed granules of semolina served with vegetables and meat, and in Morocco it is the traditional Friday family meal. Every Tangier home has its own spice blend that gives the dish a slightly different personality.
Bastilla
Bastilla is a famous pie from nearby Fez that layers spiced pigeon, almonds, and eggs inside crisp pastry, then is dusted with sugar and cinnamon. Its blend of sweet and savory flavors makes it the showpiece dish at Tangier celebrations.
Traditionella drycker
Moroccan Mint Tea
Moroccan mint tea, or atay b'naana, is green tea brewed with fresh spearmint and mountains of sugar. In Tangier it is poured from a height into small glasses to create a foamy top, which is a sign of respect to guests.
Moroccan Spiced Coffee
Moroccan coffee is brewed strong and finished with warming spices such as black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In the cafes of Tangier it is served in small cups with a glass of water, much like espresso is in Italy.
Fresh Orange Juice
Tangier is famous for its street juice stalls that squeeze bright, sweet oranges on the spot for a few coins. Morocco exports so many oranges that this sunny drink feels like the very taste of the city.

Always negotiate the taxi price before getting in. No meter will be running for you, and they get mad if you bring it up later.
Great food and the ocean breeze is unbeatable. We did get stopped by guide guys a couple times, just said no thanks, they moved on.
Tangier surprised me in a good way. The medina is total chaos, but sunset from Cafe Hafa with mint tea makes it all worth it.
Three nights was one too many honestly. The port area is pretty but the city overall is scruffier than I expected.
Most medina shops and cafe spots are cash only. ATMs here are few and foreigners often get declined. Stock up on dirham in town first.
