Located in north-western Morocco on the Maghreb coast, Tangier is a beautiful city that sits at the western entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar.

Tangier’s interesting style comes from the many civilisations and cultures that have influenced the city over its history, starting as far back as the 10th century. From its early days as a Berber town, to becoming a Phoenician trading centre, to true independence in the 1950s, Tangier really has seen it all!

The city has for a time now, been experiencing a rapid journey in modernisation. For this reason, it has once again become a popular travel destination for many travellers across the world.

One of Tangier’s greatest assets is the fact that you can find cheap and affordable hotel accommodation throughout the city.
