  • Bd Mohammed VI, Tanger 90000, Morocco
  • Place du Grand 9 Avril 1947, Tangier, Morocco
    Starting the tour from The Grand Socco, short for Grand Socco Square, is a lively and historically important public square situated in the heart of Tangier, Morocco. The name "Socco" comes from the Arabic word "Souk," which means market. For many years, the Grand Socco has been a central hub for commerce and cultural exchange. Serving as a gateway between the old medina and the modern city, this bustling intersection is where locals and visitors gather to experience its dynamic atmosphere. The square is notable for its open space, a mix of traditional and colonial architecture, and the constant flow of people. It is not only a commercial center but also a meeting point for different cultures and communities. Its significance extends beyond its physical space, as it has played a role in various cultural and political events throughout history. Notably, it was here that King Mohammed V of Morocco declared the country's independence in 1947.

  • Tangier Casbah, Tangier, Morocco
    Steeped in history, the Tangier Casbah stands as a testament to the city's rich and diverse past. Dating back to medieval times, this ancient fortress has witnessed the ebb and flow of various civilizations, from Phoenician and Roman influences to Arab and Andalusian contributions. The Casbah's architecture is a mosaic of these cultural legacies. Perched on the highest point of the city, the Casbah served as a strategic stronghold against invaders. Its towering walls and narrow, winding streets tell tales of battles fought and victories won. Over the centuries, it has been a melting pot of cultures, fostering a unique blend of traditions that is distinctly Tangier. As we explore the Casbah, we will encounter architectural wonders such as the Dar el-Makhzen palace, showcasing Moroccan craftsmanship and elegance, and the Kasbah Mosque, with its ornate details reflecting the city's Islamic heritage.
    45 minutes
  • Musee de la Kasbah, Tangier, Morocco
    Our tour continues to the Museum of Dar El Makhzen, housed in the former sultan's palace. This museum focuses on the history of the area from prehistoric times to the 19th century, with well-presented exhibits in French and Arabic. Begin by working your way anticlockwise around the first courtyard before heading inside to explore the rest of the displays. Don't miss a stroll through the charming Andalusian garden. Highlights include the mosaic of Venus from Volubilis, various statues, and two giant replica maps. The first map tracks trade routes from Phoenician metal trade to 21st-century electronic goods, while the second is a beautiful map of the known world made in Tangier in 1154 (note: it's upside down from the viewer's perspective). The museum is located inside the medina. Follow the perimeter to the western end, ascend to the highest part of the city, enter through the Bab Kasbah gate, and follow the road to the museum.

  • Medina of Tangier, Tangier, Morocco
    Our next stop is the old medina, which writer W. Burroughs famously referred to as the "switchboard zone." This maze of narrow alleys and ancient secrets has long captivated artists and writers. Within its labyrinth, you’ll find a sensory symphony: the aroma of spices wafting through bustling markets, and the call to prayer blending with vibrant street life. The medina's vivid colors, intricate patterns, and hidden courtyards create a visual feast, reflecting the bohemian spirit cherished by many. Amidst the ancient architecture, discover a sense of liberation and refuge from monotony. The medina's timeless charm fuels creativity, offering a sanctuary where unconventional beauty and the quest for soulful existence converge. Today, the air is thick with the fragrance of exotic spices, and the sounds of street life harmonize with the distant call to prayer. In the medina, you can explore various galleries showcasing a diverse range of artwork.

  • Tangier American Legation Museum, Tangier, Morocco
    The American Legation in Tangier holds a unique and significant place in the city's history. Established in 1821, it is the first property acquired abroad by the United States government and is recognized as the oldest American diplomatic property in the world. One of the most notable events associated with the American Legation is the signing of the Moroccan-American Treaty of Friendship in 1786, which predates the U.S. Constitution and marks the beginning of diplomatic relations between the two nations. This treaty emphasizes the longstanding and amicable connection between the United States and Morocco. Today, the American Legation serves as a museum and cultural center, showcasing exhibitions that celebrate the historical, cultural, and artistic ties between the United States and Morocco. It stands as a testament to the enduring diplomatic relationship and symbolizes the shared values and mutual respect between the two nations. The admission fee is 5 USD per person.
    30 minutes
  • Moshe Nahon Synagogue, Tangier, Morocco
    Our last stop before the drop-off is the Nahon Synagogue, located on a dead-end street off the rue des Synagogues in the Beni Idir quarter of the Tangier medina. Constructed in the 19th century by Moïse Nahon, a prominent educator and scholar from an influential Jewish family in Tangier, this synagogue ceased activity in the second half of the 20th century and subsequently fell into disrepair. It was restored in 1994 and now functions as a museum, preserving and showcasing the rich Jewish heritage of Tangier.
