The staff were friendly and nice. Location was ok – in the centre of medina. Room description: dark, ugly, with a smelly bathroom which looks like a prison. The bed was too soft, I had a back pain after sleeping on it. If you don’t care about this and your main purpose is to save some money on accommodation – book it. Maybe you can handle 1-2 nights. Small breakfast in the terrace with a view included.

The hotel was a traditional Hotel. The rooms was ok , clean and warm. The only problem was the outside toilet. Difficult through the night or for shower.. The hotel was in the centre of the old town Medina. For me too much traffic and noise but i didn't know about the life rhythms in the old town. The breakfast was basic but the choices of bread really good ! The staff was really very kind and helpful ! Was a nice stay in a good price.

Good location, kind and attentive staff, good and plentiful breakfast on the terrace. Rooms are okay - clean and affordable. Only issue really was we were in the room adjacent to the lobby and the first floor above the Medina alley, so it was quite noisy.

The rooms are just average. If you are a light sleeper. The doors are thin. Could hear everything outside the room. I did not sleep properly. The staff is amazing. Kindest people.

Perfectly located , nice and clean rooms. Kind and always helpful service. Good breakfast with fresh bakeries.

Nice, big room. Clean and well appointed. Fantastic rooftop terrace. Would stay again.

If you want an authentic, spotlessly clean hotel in a prime location 👌 the Tanger Medina is perfect for you. Nothing is too much trouble for the amazing staff. They are so special and kind. Breakfast is served on the roof terrace. It will take your breath away. Soothing background music and delicious fresh food and spectacular views of the Casbah and to the harbour. We are hoping to return one day 🙏 Right in the heart of the medina and the atmosphere is pure Tangiers.

The Caves of Hercules are a popular tourist destination near Tangier, Morocco. They're known for their unique sea-facing entrance that resembles the map of Africa and are often praised for their beautiful views, especially at sunset. Amazing spots to relax and spend some serene time here.

Grottes d’Hercule in Morocco is a stunning natural cave overlooking the Atlantic Ocean near Tangier. Famous for its legendary connection to Hercules, the site features dramatic rock formations, a natural opening shaped like Africa, and breathtaking sea views. Ideal for sightseeing and photography.

Visiting the Hercules Caves was such a unique and memorable experience. The place has a beautiful natural feel, and the famous opening shaped like the map of Africa is even more impressive in person. Walking through the cave, you can really feel the history and the atmosphere — it’s simple but very captivating. The area around the caves is also lovely, with amazing ocean views that make the whole visit even more special. It’s definitely a spot worth seeing if you’re in Tangier, and a great place to take photos and enjoy the scenery. Highly recommended!

If it’s part of your tour or along your route, it’s worth a quick stop. The cave itself is beautiful, especially the view where the water flows through the opening—quite a unique sight. While the surrounding area is largely developed for tourism, it can still be enjoyable, especially for families. The flat terrain and minimal stairs make it very kid-friendly and easy to explore. Great for a short, scenic break and to pick up some souvenirs. Must visit this place

One of the most hyped up tourist spots in Tangier. it's a small space with minimal information, so do some reading before you go. It's overpriced for what is offered. We paid 80drh each (roughly £7.50-£8) for a quick 10 mins inside. there is another small section (i think it was called a gallery) for a separate cost In all honesty the cave is not big, There was a barrier blocking some of it so i don't know if that part is ever opened up to the public. the hype is mainly for the opening in the rocks where you can see the sea and rock formation is the shape of Africa. Everything i read online about a path etc, I did not see. If part of the cave was closed, they should have charged less. As a local citizen you can get the ticket for 30 dirham. Not really impressed with a cost that can't be justified

The history of this cave given by our guide was fascinating. I was surprised how large the cave was and how clean and well preserved it was as well. A very interesting and worthwhile visit.

A great sight to see. The lighting makes it seem otherworldly when you first walk in. If you've never been I would go at least once to see the water flow and be in awe of the natural formation.

Definitely worth it the visit! An important historical spot, with a very well kept garden and scientific information. I would suggest to include English explanation in addition to french and Arabic.

Cap Spartel is a must-visit spot just outside Tangier. The views are breathtaking, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. The lighthouse adds a historic charm, and the surrounding gardens are peaceful and well kept. 💡 Tip: Best time to visit is late afternoon to enjoy the sunset. Bring some water or snacks if you don’t plan to eat at the café.

Beautiful location with incredible views. The spot gets busy, but it’s worth it for the scenery. Nice place and a bit of fresh air

Cap Spartel in Morocco marks the northwestern tip of Africa, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Famous for its historic lighthouse and panoramic ocean views, it’s a popular spot for sightseeing, photography, and watching stunning sunsets over the sea.

Stunning views from the top. We went to watch the sun set. Absolutely worth going.

Cap Spartil is truly a hidden gem! The natural beauty of the place is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of the coastline and the surrounding landscape. The lighthouse adds a unique charm to the location, offering panoramic vistas that make it a perfect spot for relaxation and exploration. The peaceful atmosphere, combined with the fresh air and scenic surroundings, makes it an unforgettable destination. Whether you're looking for a quiet escape or a place to connect with nature, Cap Spartil is the ideal place. Highly recommended!

Beautiful! 🤩 Excellent panoramic views from the top of the lighthouse where you can see the joining of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea! Entry fee to get in to the lighthouse, museum, and garden, though the gardens were unfortunately closed while we were visiting. It’s a beautiful 4 km/2.5 mile walk/drive/bike ride between here and Hercules Cave. For those without a car, In Drive app is probably your best bet for visiting from Tangier. If you are friendly with the driver they might even bring you back for a good price and give you some history on the area.

Worth visiting. For 30-40 DH you can visit the contemporary museum as well as the Kasbah and it’s gardens. Garden is a little gem in the city centre.

Beautiful historic place, well presented chronologically. The garden is pleasant with many plants, however, signs with the plant and tree names would have been useful, it's a shame there weren't any. Visited in early Sept and there was no café nor shop to be seen.

Worth the visit. It takes 30min to see but you can spend more time. The gardens are beautiful and they have good pieces of different history periods. Unfortunately it’s only in French and Arabic, we would strongly encourage them to add English. I would go back if so to be able to understand everything. The ticket was 30 dirhams each. The staff was very kind and flexible to let us visit everything even though they were closing

Very beautiful, good historical background, very well-organized, and you can enter both museums (Kasbah and Contemporary) with the same ticket.

This was a concise museum in a nice old palace. Admission fee was reasonable 50 dirhams. Nice artifacts from the region. I’d have liked a little more explanation of the groupings and the exhibit focus. Staff was helpful but did not speak much English or Spanish.

Exquisite, quiet respectful visitors, free to enter.

30 MAD person - access to both the Kasbah museum and Art museum. If you enjoy visiting the past, exploring maps & artefacts definitely worth a visit. Also a delightful view of the ocean & marina from the top.

This Legation was formed in the 1777s when USA just became a country and was recognized by Morocco. This place displayed many of the friendship materials over the ages. If you are an American, this place is worth a visit.

It was the unexpected highlight of my Tangier visit. Wonderful building and amazing history. Important Note: Entry Ticket is 50 Moroccan Dirham (about 5 euros) but they only accept Cash in dirhams. No euros or dollars. Morocco was the first country to recognize the fledgling US in 1777. The US signed its first ever international trade treaty with Morocco in 1786. The building was gift to the fledgling United States from the Sultan of Morocco in 1821, and the Tangier American Legation was a diplomatic mission and home for over 140 years, until 1957. The building is still owned by the U.S. Department of State and is America's oldest diplomatic property globally. It is the only U.S. National Landmark located overseas.

Fascinating! Great to see and read about the history between Morocco and the US. A living example of countries with completely different cultures respecting each other’s values. I love the way it is exactly as it was with furniture, newspapers, radios and music to match the time in history or an event. A must see when visiting Tangier!

It’s a great place to come. Cost is 50dirram. Not bad place to learn some local/American history. You can do the entire place within 30mins.

Nice experience. Ticket was 50dh per person (for tourists). The entrance is hidden in the Medina.

Very interesting experience exploring the relationship between Morocco and the US!

A place that tells you about the history of the first American ligation, and more, i loved it

Not a "Beach" per-se. It's just a sea (Mediterranean) without any waves. Not clean and littered badly, needs some real cleaning. The waters are pleasant and good place to sit and enjoy the Sunset. On the other side is visible a beautiful hillock with lovely houses atop. There are lots of horse-rides here and some good food carts outside. There is even an Amphitheater style public seating outside.

A nice and spacious beach in the heart of Tangier. The place was clean and not crowded at all. There were some weird men that stared at us and tried to get us to buy stuff, but it could be a cultural thing too. Otherwise a good experience.

Beautiful beach, very crowded with people. Clean . A lot of space. Camels for rides and vendors, but I didn't experience anyone bothering me.

Tangier Beach is a breathtaking slice of Morocco’s Mediterranean coastline, offering a blend of natural beauty, leisure activities, and family-friendly charm. The water here is particularly striking, with its green shimmer reflecting the unique hues of the Mediterranean. This area is also a haven for fishing enthusiasts, with abundant opportunities to enjoy the serene waters while casting a line. The beach itself is expansive and versatile, providing space for a wide range of activities. Families can stroll along the well-maintained beach walkway, which is perfect for enjoying the sea breeze, walking dogs, or simply taking in the views of the horizon. Tangier Beach is also a favorite spot for more adventurous activities like riding camels along the shore, a truly unforgettable experience. The wide, open sands are ideal for playing frisbee, football, or other beach games, making it a hub of activity and relaxation. With its combination of stunning Mediterranean waters, versatile recreational opportunities, and a welcoming atmosphere, Tangier Beach captures the essence of coastal Morocco, making it a must-visit for locals and travelers alike!

The beach is great, clean water, and there are people picking up rubbish, although the locals tend to litter everywhere, despite there being good availability of bins.

Polluted and smelly!!! Don’t waste your time! Definitely worth try to find some “blue flag” beaches further away from this one….

The beach was nice overall — great atmosphere, lovely views, and a pleasant place to relax and enjoy the sea. However, there was quite a bit of plastic and litter on the sand, so it could definitely use some extra cleaning. With a bit more care, it would be an absolutely beautiful spot.

Worth visiting. For 30-40 DH you can visit the contemporary museum as well as the Kasbah and it’s gardens. Garden is a little gem in the city centre.

Beautiful historic place, well presented chronologically. The garden is pleasant with many plants, however, signs with the plant and tree names would have been useful, it's a shame there weren't any. Visited in early Sept and there was no café nor shop to be seen.

Beautiful museum and gardens housing Roman artifacts. Ticket gains entry to the contemporary art gallery too. 30 md

Beautiful place where in a mighty garden famous people (artists) are embedded and an owner shows you around in the nicest way possible telling you on history and plant medicine. Peace is where religions are placed together and allowed to co-live. It is here. 🤍🕊️ (On photo: entrance. Knock or let someone shout in case it was closed ;))

Very interesting point of interest in town, where Christian, Muslim and Jewish art combine and create a special parayer site. It makes you think about faith, its different forms, and yet the very same powerful meaning. The local guide is really polite and happy to share precious information about the site and local culture. Highly recommended! Nice cards inside :)

Please visit this wonderful church in Tangiers! Right near Grand Socco, Yassine will tell you stories about the people buried there and the church interior has a gorgeous Mudehar style ceiling, and the Lords prayer written in Arabic ...it is a wonderful testament to inclusiveness of all faiths! There's a small donation to get in since the church desperately needs some renovations, hopefully some authorities will step forward, since it is a great piece of Tangiers history.

Thankyou for a very interesting tour of this pretty church and its history. Beautiful gardens and a lovely, friendly caretaker whom spent time chatting to us today. Worth a visit.

It was a lovely afternoon visit to the church during its opening hours. The keeper asked for donations but it wasn’t a problem for me. The church and the cemetery were peaceful and quiet. I had a pleasant conversation with the guard and I appreciate his advice on staying in Tangier. Please show some respect and enjoy the hospitality.

St. Andrew's Church and its adjacent cemetery together have been a haven of worship, prayers, peace and tranquility in Tangier for over 100 years. This beautiful Anglican church is the most historic and noteworthy Christian house of worship, prayer and meditation in Tangier. St. Andrew’s Church has a loyal following of expatriate residents among its congregation, along with immigrants, tourists and visitors to the city of Tangier on the Strait of Gibraltar. Inside St. Andrew’s Church walls is the old and somewhat crowded Anglican Cemetery with tranquil gardens, stone pathways and a few wooden and stone benches. Among the tombstones in the church's cemetery are the graves of many former residents of Tangier, some of whom were my close friends and acquaintances. May they all rest in peace.

Knock at the gate! Beautiful place with interesting history. Jewish Christian and Islamic judge.

The Grand Socco of Tangier is a vibrant local market filled with bustling bazaars. It features a large fish market and is surrounded by many historic tourist sites, along with authentic local restaurants and cafés. You’ll also find several fresh fruit and vegetable stalls offering high-quality produce. A notable highlight is the tomb of Ibn Battuta, the world-famous ancient traveler, who was buried in his beloved hometown. It was from here that he began his 29 year journey around the world—starting on a donkey! A must-visit for anyone exploring Tangier’s culture and history!

Cleanliness Cleanliness is a mixed bag. The square itself and its main open areas are reasonably kept: you can see maintenance of the benches, the fountain, the pavement. But stray litter appears, especially later in the day: discarded wrappers, fruit peels, loose papers. In the narrower, more crowded alley-entrances toward the souks, there are uneven cobblestones, some dirt, smells from food stalls, fishmongers, etc. That’s normal in an old souk, but for someone sensitive, the smell (especially of fish + spices + humidity) can be intense. Also smells from garbage in side alleys sometimes. Overall: beautiful, atmospheric, but not “spotless European square” standard. What’s Sold & Approximate Prices The variety is huge, and goods are aimed both at locals and tourists. You’ll find: Fresh produce: fruits, vegetables; fish and meat in the food market sections. Spices: cumin, cinnamon, black & white pepper, ras el hanout, etc. Leather goods: slippers (babouches), bags, wallets. Textiles, carpets/rugs, fabrics. Traditional cookware & metalware, lamps. Clothing, shoes. Jewelry & small trinkets. Cafés & food stalls around: pastries, mint tea, street food. Prices are a bit fuzzy (they vary by vendor, tourist vs local, how badly you negotiate), but here are some impressions: Me and my husband bought something that amounts to 50 MAD worth about 500g from a kid who sold dates, sweet/ salty/ sour treats. The next 2 days, we went back to get more malhour dates from the same stall but the kid's dad was there instead, and it was 60 MAD per kg and we got 5kg worth of them. Other items (leather, textiles) can be more expensive, especially if the seller recognizes you as a tourist. Rugs especially can run high; you’ll be quoted what seems steep unless you negotiate. We were led by a man to a shop called, Moroccan Brocade, I wanted to buy these beautiful prayer mats but they were to expensive for us. I wanted to get 16 and he asked for 600 euros. That was such a shock to me. We did buy 2 pieces of table cloth from them to support their business and that was it. To top it off, after paying for the things, the salesman asked us for a 20 euro tip for his service. Common Scams / Pitfalls: 1. Fake / Poor quality “handmade” goods You may be told that a leather bag, rug, or lamp is handcrafted, genuine, high-quality. In some cases, it’s mass-produced or uses inferior materials. The price can be inflated accordingly. If you don’t know what genuine materials/textile patterns feel like, you may pay much more than it’s worth. 2. Overcharging / Tourist Pricing If the vendor realizes you are a traveller, expect higher initial prices. Haggling is expected. If you don’t haggle, you may pay 2-3x what locals do. Also “best price” claims (this is the last one, my friend) are common. 3. Misleading “free guiding” or unwanted “help” A classic: someone offers to “show you the way” or help you carry bags, then expects a tip that is far beyond what you’d reasonably expect. And all that mentioned above, we have experienced it first-hand. Overall Impressions & Advice It’s a beautiful, lively place, full of character. Perfect if you like atmosphere, people-watching, absorbing culture, taking photos, enjoying food smells, colorful stalls. But, be ready: use small cash, small notes; have patience for haggling; inspect closely; keep your valuables safe; don’t take offers that seem too good to be true. If possible, bring a local with you, or ask for recommendations of trustworthy shops.

What an amazing place. Exploring the old city and different areas was so incredible. You can feel and live the culture and history. Highly recommend this experience if you have never been. Looking forward to our next trip back when we can stay longer.

Nice landmark by Medina in Tangier. People hangout in the evening and there are shops and cafes surrounding the circule.

Cute area that you can walk around, shop, take photos or take a seat to take it all in. Came here on a weekend and it was very vibrant.

The square that has the entrance to the Souk area looks like something from an olden day movie. Always lively with noise and commotion. Parking was a breeze if you are driving.

> ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful and lively place in the heart of Tangier! 🌴 The Grand Socco is full of energy, local life, and history. You can find cafés, shops, and street vendors all around. It’s a great spot to feel the real spirit of Tangier, especially in the evening. Highly recommended for a visit! 🇲🇦✨

So nice and quiet except some people being loud and ruining the atmosphere, you can still avoid them. Spectacular place to connect with nature. If you find yourself in Tangier and want some "me time" or want some peace just go there.

In august So crowded no parking space and if you love hiking and hike a little more you find yourself in beautiful spots

A beautiful synergy of nature. Towering green trees that overlook the bright blue sea, it’s a lovely park to hike through and enjoy a picnic with great views!

Peacful place, great view

A very nice park in tangier.

Wonderful park above the sea! Amazing views 😍😍😍 There are a lot of tables to sit at, so you can make a picnic. Huge pine trees give a lot of shade and make the air pleasant and good for your health. I love this place!!!

One of the nicest places I've visited. I was happy to see this beautiful city has so much green space. The panoramic view felt like a scene from a movie. I'll definitely revisit this forest and hope it's well cared for

Nice view over the harbor and you can see Spain/Europe from here on nice sunny days. More like a big, wide sidewalk rather than a big "Place" or Square.

Nice place for family gatherings and for the view

Its a good place, except there i a lot of beggars, the place is crowded so there is no calm (except in the morning and midnight)

wonderful view, you can see the ocean and spain when is not cloudly from sour elmegazin, is a famous place in tangier you must visit and is in city center.

A nice beach to chill around and feel the sea breeze. Also a place to swim.

Beautiful place and a stunning view. It's crowded in the day, so it's better to come at night for amazing pics

wonderful view, you can see the ocean and spain when is not cloudly from sour elmegazin

One of the best places to visit in Tangier and to know more about Ibn Batuta Also there is a man who will till a short story about his journey

The tomb of Ibn Battuta was fairly easy to find using Google Maps, but unfortunately, it was closed. I made my customary supplication for the great traveller and took some photos from outside.

Beware of voluntary guides. They behave like friendly locals who just want to help but then demand huge ‘tips’.

Really great to locate and visit the tomb of the great man. Located in the Medina at the back of Rue d'Italie.

Ibn Baruta is the greatest traveler and explorer who should be memorized by peoples in the history. Whoever thinks he or she is a good traveler should go to checkout this meaningful historical site when he or she visits Morocco .

In the narrow streets small tomb of Ibn Batuta, who is a important Muslim - Arabic traveler and historian in 1300s. He traveled on 3 different routes and visited India, East Africa, West Africa, Russia and the Balkans by sea and land.

A little tricky to find. The door was closed but a man there available to open it. Incredible piece of history. Expect to give some tip to the caretaker.

Very clean beach with nice sand and beautiful views. However there’s too much seaweeds, sometimes the accumulation blocks the access to the water completely.

Interesting beach by the Atlantic, mostly with chairs and tables with umbrellas. You can choose to ride a camel or a horse or go inside the beach bar with a big pool

Nice beach but if there was more facilities like shops for swimming and a pave for stroller or wheelchair until the water would be better for seniors.

The beach is clean and beautiful vue, what's bother me is no close parking from the beach, no close entrance to the beach, you should go down a lot of stairs to get to the beach. Some people charge lot to rent umbrellas and relaxing chairs, pay attention not to get scammed.

This place was very nice and worth the visit. It is said that this is the place where Hercules separated the continents and that his profile is forever preserved in the depths of this cave. Other than that, not much to see/do here but it was nice to come and see it for ourselves.

It's okay nice place to swim but not to relax and chill there is so much noise and music from a café nearby.

YOU WON'T REGRET IT ! it's so clean and elegant even though few people knows it. Don't be fooled by the entrance

These tombs are remnants from the time when the Phoenicians established Tangier, dating back potentially to 800 BC - 1000 BC. This necropolis features a series of rock-carved graves, estimated to be about 98 tombs (though fewer are visible today) cut into the cliff face. The tombs face the Atlantic Ocean so it provides a wonderful viewpoint as well. Definitely worth the climb to see this archiological site.

Unusual history that makes you wonder why. You have to un-see the garbage. Especially early in the morning as the cleaning crews haven't had time to do their jobs. The excavations though are remarkable and the views from the cliffs beautiful.

A surreal experience... Sitting amidst centuries-old tombs carved into stone as you gaze out on a glorious sunset at the edge of a continent. For some it's just holes in the ground, littered with a days worth of blown debris, where locals watch the sun go down. But if you'll allow the significance to embrace you, you'll be captivated by the juxtaposition of Muslims in flowing caftans, silhouetted against the sinking sun, with the notion that others, long before us, felt that special connection.

I walked from the marina past the port and up the Snake Path, which was fairly steep and led through some narrow alleyways, but as usual, Google Maps didn’t let me down. Once you get there, the view of the sea and the surrounding hills really opens up. If you’re in Tangier, it’s a must-visit spot. There was some litter around, but it wasn’t too bad.

Nice view of tangier and you can see Spain here as well. Make you wander the narrow sea in game of thrones must be modelled off the Strait of Gibraltar

Absolutely next level spot. The view from here is insane. Even all the locals come here to take pictures. I’m pretty sure you can see Spain in the distance. 😄 Good spot to come sit and chill. Bring some food, have a little picnic, don’t be shy. Probably one of the best view spots in Tangier, but there’s views everywhere in this city 😍 10/10 view spot. Would highly recommend going to see the view.

Interesting for its local flavor as Tangerines flock here for the cool breeze at sunset, for the mystery as you imagine the lives of the Phoenicians once entombed here and the orientation of the stone graves, as well as the sweeping views of the strait, Spain and indeed a completely different continent and lands that you can almost touch. So much history to ponder here.
