Tangier's riads are traditional Moroccan houses that open their doors to travelers seeking a genuine taste of local life. Most of them sit in the medina or the kasbah, where narrow streets lead to hidden courtyards and peaceful rooms. You'll find terraces with views of the city, rooftops, and water, along with gardens where you can spend time reading or talking with other guests. These homes blend the way people lived centuries ago with the comforts you expect today. Staying in one means sleeping under painted wooden ceilings, eating meals prepared with local recipes, and learning how Moroccan families welcome visitors. It's a chance to be in the heart of a city that sits between two seas, where African and European influences shape the rhythm of daily life. Riad Dar Saba and Dar Nour both offer rooftop terraces where you can see across the Strait of Gibraltar to Spain. Dar Sultan, a house from the seventeenth century in the Kasbah, has a terrace facing west where the sun sets over the Atlantic. Riad Arous Chamel and Riad Tanja provide staff who can help you plan trips through the city and its surroundings. For those who want more space, Riad Dar-tus has shared areas and can host groups comfortably. If you're interested in dining, places like La Maison de Tanger offer a Moorish-style pool and traditional hammam, while Riad Mokhtar serves Moroccan food prepared with care. Every riad has its own character, but they all share the same goal: to give you a stay that feels like visiting a friend's home rather than checking into a hotel.
