List of what to do in Tangier: Strolling down the labyrinth of the Medina of Tangier
6. Place du Grand 9 Avril 1947
During the tour of the Medina, you’ll make a stop at this historical square which is commonly known as Grand Socco and that divides the Medina from the Ville Nouvelle area of Tangier. Notably, It is one of the places that hosted Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany when he visited Tangiers on 3 March 1905. The stopover worsened tension between the Germans and the French and, among other events, ultimately led to World War I. Also, It’s the location where King Mohamed V delivered his speech and the symbol of his arrival to the city on April 9, 1947, when Tangiers was under international domination. List of things to do in Tangier: Grand Socco
7. Petit Socco
During the tour inside the walls of the Medina, you’ll make a stop at this historical square which is locally known as Souk Dakhel and was once home to many notable and extremely influential writers in the city like Paul Bowles, Jean Genet, Tennessee Williams, and Mohamed Choukri. In fact, the square has always been one of the top things to see in Tangier and in the Medina in particular. Today, the facades of its Hispano-Moorish buildings are freshly painted, tourists abound and it’s a wonderful square for people-watching over a mint tea. List of things to do in Tangier: mint tea in the Petit Socco square.
8. Gran Mezquita de Tanger
The Great Mosque of Tangier is a nineteenth-century construction that stands in what was once the center of the medina of Tangier. The site of the mosque was formerly the home of several significant religious buildings from various civilizations that previously occupied Tangier, dating back originally to a fifth century Roman church. After the Muslim conquest of Tangier in the eighth century, the church was converted to a mosque by the Marinid Dynasty and remained so until the late fifteenth century. The mosque was replaced by a church during the centuries in which Tangier was under Portuguese and English rule. After Moulay Ismail recaptured the city for the Alawi dynasty in 1684, the church was once again transformed into a mosque. Sultan Sulayman completely rebuilt the mosque in 1815 due to its poor physical condition, creating the building that stands in Tangier today.
9. Tangier American Legation Museum
[THE MUSEUM OPENS MONDAYS-FRIDAYS FROM 10 AM TO 5 PM AND SATURDAYS-SUNDAYS FROM 10 AM TO 3 PM. IT CLOSES SUNDAYS AND DURING MOROCCAN HOLIDAYS.] Close to the aptly named “Bab Merican,” this elegant five-story mansion is the only American national monument located outside of the United States. Interestingly, Morocco was the first country to recognize the fledgling United States, in 1777, and this was the first piece of American real estate abroad. In fact, the original building was given to the United States to serve as a diplomatic presence in Morocco by Sultan Mulay Suliman in 1821 and served as such in some capacity until 1961. Surprisingly, this is the longest period (140 years) any building abroad has been occupied as a United States diplomatic post. List of what to see in Tangier: The American Legation Museum
10. Tangier Casbah
While touring the Medina you will mostly approach the Kasbah (the fortress) through either of the two gates, Bab Haha or Bab El-Assa, and enter on Place du Mechouar (often referred to as Place de la Kasbah). Indeed, the Kasbah was a place for the local leader to live and a defense when the city was under attack. The Kasbah has high walls and it was built on a hilltop so that it could be more easily defended. List of attractions in Tangier, Morocco: The Kasbah
11. Musee de la Kasbah
[OPEN ALL WEEK EXCEPT TUESDAYS - FROM 10 AM TO 6 PM.] The Kasbah Museum or the Kasbah Museum of Mediterranean Cultures has been housed since 1922 by the Kasbah Palace known as "Dar-Al-Makhzen" or the Sultan's Palace. The building occupies the eastern part of the Kasbah of Tangier. In fact, It was home to the Portuguese governors "Dorons Praefecti" between 1471 and 1661, then it was a larger "Upper Castle" which was the residence of the English governors from 1662 to 1684. List of attractions in Tangier: the Sultan's Palace in Tangier
12.
[OPTIONAL] Hovering at the edge of the medina, just off the bustling Grand Socco is this magnificent Anglican Church that is a real tribute to the harmony of Christianity and Islam. Tour the quiet gardens, the final resting place for many of the church's international community, before ducking into the church. Note the Lord’s Prayer written in exquisite Arabic calligraphy just about the pulpit and the numerous Andalusian-Moroccan touches throughout. Tangier what to see list: St. Andrew's Anglican Church
13. Moshe Nahon Synagogue
[OPTIONAL] Located on a dead-end street of Rue des Synagogues in the Beni Idir quarter of the Medina of Tangier, this synagogue was constructed in 1876 by Moïse Jacob Nahon, a prominent educator and scholar from an influential Jewish family in Tangier. The synagogue ceased activity in the second half of the 20th century and subsequently fell into disrepair until its restoration in 1994. It now functions as a museum.

Our tour guide Hamza spoke very good English, gave us lots of information and beyond, answered all our questions. He was very frank and honest and gave his best to take us to all the interesting corners of the Medina and the wider city. I particularly enjoyed the camel riding and the photos we took home from there.

The tour guide and his driver picked us up and drove us all over the city. They told us a lot about the history and the many cultures in Tangier. It was raining most of the time so we didn’t get many great views. We walked around the Medina in the rain and visited a few shops. By the time we made it to the casbah the sun was shining and all the shops were open. If you only have 1 day it’s worth it to maximize your time here and see as much as you can. I

Our private tour of Tangier totally exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Hamid has been a tour guide in Morocco for 38 years, so his knowledge is absolutely amazing. He told us great stories about the history of Tangier. He quickly figured out what was most important to us and made sure we had sufficient time to explore those sites. Strongly recommend this tour and Hamid as a guide. P.S. the Camel ride was amazing!

If you are visiting Tangier, you absolutely NEED to book this tour! The country is beautiful but requires some specific local knowledge that you can only get from this tour. For example, how to interact with shoppers, how to get cash, where the best sights are, restaurant recommendations, and where else to go in the country. The tour was excellent! We had a driver AND a tour guide who both spoke fluent English. The first half of the tour was a drive through the city and the second half was a walking tour. The entire experience was private and dedicated just to us. The guides were very accommodating, friendly, helpful, informative, and had an excellent itinerary. They were willing to adjust the itinerary to fit our desires and make extra stops as needed. There were many opportunities for pictures and they were willing to take pictures of us so we could be together.

For more information on some of the stops during the tour: During driving tour through the city, the driver and the tour guide gave us information about different sites and the history of the country. One of our first stops was at Perdicaris park. The next stop was at a lighthouse and we also stopped at the point where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic ocean. There was a camel ride included with this tour. Our next stop was at the cave of Hercules. We then started the walking tour and started at the fish and produce market. We visited several stores. The first place was very large and had a lot of beautiful rugs. We had lunch at a place recommended by our guide which was delightful (we visited during Ramadan and they made sure there were adequate food choices for us). Our last stop was at a pharmacy. There was a man who owned the shop and explained all of his products to us. Overall, it was an incredible visit through Tangier. If you only have one day to spend here, this is the perfect way to fit many things into one day.

THANK YOU for a wonderful experience, a memorable adventure, and being super friendly and caring with new travelers!

Our guide, and driver were wonderful. By happenstance, we were outside in the rain for the walking portion of the day. It was a quick paced tour, with some “touristy” sales stops. But outside of that, we saw the authentic Medina of Tangier, from markets to places of worship. We were so glad we did it

‘Latif Tours’ driver Abdul and tour guide Magid picked us from the port and we spent a wonderful and pleasant day together. We were treated like family and were not rushed to get items completed.
Both shared information about Tangier and Magid vividly recalled important historical facts about his city. They both gave pointers about other parts of Morocco that are on our itinerary, before taking us to our hotel.

Sights, sounds, smells and tastes in the market were amazing. Our guide Abdelmajid was knowledgeable, friendly and helped us with a tiny ferry ticket snafu at the end.

We did the Chefchaouen Tour the first day in Tangier with this company (and Abdul, our guide) and were lucky enough to have Abdul again for the second day. I can't say enough about Abdul. He is so professional, timely, knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us SO MUCH and made great recommendations for food and shopping. By the end of the day, we felt we had learned an immense amount about a city we now love, and gained a friend. We highly recommend this tour and tour company.
