Welcome to Tangier, the gateway to Africa and our beloved home. Many travelers only see the surface—the bustling port and the main square of the Petit Socco. But to truly know Tangier, you must walk with us through the quiet residential quarters of the Kasbah at dawn, when the scent of fresh bread fills the air.
One of our favorite secret spots is a small, unmarked terrace overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar. Here, you can watch the lights of Spain flicker on as the sun sets over the Atlantic. It’s a place for reflection, away from the touts and the noise. In this guide, we share the places that shaped our journeys and continue to inspire our work as guides today.
