Tangier, Port city in northern Morocco
Located at the western entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar, Tangier extends across coastal hills where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The city functioned as an International Zone from 1923 to 1956, governed by multiple European nations before its integration into independent Morocco.
The Kasbah quarter features traditional Moroccan architecture with white buildings, narrow streets, and the former Sultan's palace Dar el Makhzen.
Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport connects the city with major European capitals through daily flights, while ferries link to southern Spain in under one hour.
The Caves of Hercules contain an opening toward the Atlantic Ocean in the shape of Africa, created by the Phoenicians who extracted millstones.
