Itinerary

  1. 1

    30 min

    Explore this fortified citadel that traces back to the 10th century, home to several notable landmarks, including the former Sultan's Palace.

  2. 2

    Tangier

    45 min

    Wander through the maze-like alleys of the historic old town, offering a genuine glimpse into the customs and daily life of local residents.

  3. 3

    Moshe Nahon Synagogue

    30 min

    Constructed in 1878 under the patronage of Moïse Nahon, a well-known banker and pillar of the local community. The synagogue showcases elaborate Andalusian-inspired ornamentation, with hand-carved stucco work and Arabic script details.

  4. 4

    Tangier American Legation Museum

    30 min

    Founded in 1821, this site holds the distinction of being the very first property owned by the U.S. government outside its borders, functioning as the American diplomatic mission for well over a century. Today, the museum highlights the long-standing cultural and diplomatic ties between Morocco and the United States, with a collection that includes pieces by painter James McBey.

  5. 5

    Place du Grand 9 Avril 1947

    15 min

    Serving as the link between the ancient medina and the newer parts of the city, this landmark square was historically a lively trading hub. It has since evolved into a popular gathering spot, framed by cafés and adjoining the picturesque Mendoubia Gardens.

  6. 6

    Petit Socco

    15 min

    A compact yet lively square that has long served as a community gathering point, lined with cafés, restaurants, and small hotels — a great place to pause for a glass of mint tea while watching the city go by.
