About Tangier

Tangier (Tanger) is a major port city in northwestern Morocco (North Africa) located at the entrance to the Gibraltar Strait, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean.

Tangier has long been recognized in the world’s imagination as a city of exchange, cosmopolitan, and mysterious. Known as the International City in the past, it is also one of the oldest Mediterranean cities, and it still retains the traces of civilizations and cultures that have marked its history: Phoenicians, Romans, Carthaginians, Byzantines, Vandals, Arabs, …

Tangier was and still is a famous destination for artists, singers, writers, European and American diplomats, and spies. The best way of discovering Tangier is by visiting the old town (Medina) and its Casbah, enclosed by 15th-century ramparts: a distillation of the essential ingredients that make up the history of this mythical, cosmopolitan, and unique city:

  • The Grand Socco
  • The Petit Socco
  • The Kasbah
  • The Anglican St Andrew’s Church
  • The Mendoubia Garden
  • Dar Baroud
  • The Jewish Cemetery
  • The Kasbah Museum
  • The American Legation Museum
  • The Ibn Battouta Museum
  • Villa Harris
  • Cape Spartel
  • The Hercules Caves

And more …

Its region also has a set of undeniable tourist resources. Tourists have the privilege of enjoying the amazing Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean beaches as well as doing sports or visiting the authentic villages perched on the Rif Mountains and the vestiges of the old Phoenician or Roman cities:

  • Chefchaouen
  • Tetouan
  • Assilah
  • Larache

Thanks to its strategic position, Tangier is also an inevitable passage for maritime lines operating between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, and has excellent roads and rail connections with other cities.

The high-speed train in Africa is connecting Tangier to Morocco’s economic capital, Casablanca, in about two hours. Tangier Port Reconversion: Designed in a way that one can live, work, and distract, Tangier Port Conversion includes cultural equipment, hotels, residences, oces, shopping areas, restaurants, and nightclubs.

The main purpose of this Project is to position Tangier and its City Port (located in the heart of the city) as a leading Mediterranean cruise and yachting destination.
