It’s time to start dreaming of your next family trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Tangier, Morocco, with us.
Cape Spartel is the northernmost point on the African continent and home to a promontory and lighthouse. The site marks where the Atlantic and Mediterranean waters meet and, just beneath the cape, sits the archaeological Caves of Hercules. Near the cape is Spartel Bank, an underwater island believed by some to be the lost city of Atlantis. © Krajinar | Dreamstime.com
Wander through the winding streets and alleys of the Tangier medina, found in the old town section of the city, and take in the white-washed buildings of Moorish-Hispanic architecture. The medina features many traditional markets and crafts, as well as countless local shops lining the historic streets. © Petr Svec | Dreamstime.com
Grand Socco is a bustling square separating the newer parts of the city from the old medina. Cafés, restaurants, a mosque, shops and outdoor benches surround the square. From the square, visitors can enter Mendoubia Gardens and Rye de la Kasbah. In the center sits a large marble fountain surrounded by palm trees. © Saiko3p | Dreamstime.com
Once a palace, Kasbah Palace is now a museum, inviting visitors to explore the 18th-century property, once the residence of the city’s governor and, when coming to the city, for the Sultan of Morocco. One of the museum’s most iconic spots is its main courtyard, showcasing an excellent example of fine architecture. © ImagoDens | Dreamstime.com
Tangier’s history could perhaps be no better shown than at the Phoenician Tombs. Overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, this necropolis holds about 100 tombs, with more than half carved into the rock, dating from 1,400 B.C.E. Other artifacts from the time period were also found, now on display at Kasbah Museum. The site also holds mythical significance in the tale of Hercules and giant Antaeus. © Vicente Sargues | Dreamstime.com
You’ll find many vendors and souks throughout the city, often selling spices, Moroccan slippers, jewelry and traditional foods. Look for entertainment along the streets, too, as well as artisans making colorful mosaics. © Vampy1 | Dreamstime.com
