Tangier is a major port of entrance from Spain to the beautiful and lovely Kingdom of Morocco.

Although the old city is quite run down, it certainly has a lot of charm. The petit Socco is great for a coffee and a good starting point for exploring the old city. Just wander around the maze of alleys and find your way to the old Sultans Palace overlooking the straits of Gibraltar.

There are some decent beaches nearby, both on the Mediterranean side and on the Atlantic coast. From Tangier you can make excellent daytrips to Chaouen Tetouan and Asilah.

Some people who arrive by boat in Tangier are hasseled by young Moroccans claiming to be tour guides. Prepare for this - be firm and don't let them scare you away.
