Tangiers is right along the Mediterranean sea. it is a very big city but totally different when you get into the Kasbah. Depending on your spelling depends on where you're from. It is nice to see the really old buildings and knowing that they havent been modified to present day. Not all of them anyway. Surprised to see donkeys roaming around as well but that is the staple of some of the morroccan's. Different for an outsider to understand. Beautiful none the less. You need a couple of days to try to see everything, maybe more. I really enjoyed touring around the place.…

Walking through the Casbah is walking through history. Yes, there are shops. Yes, there are persistent sellers who follow you. However, look beyond all of this and try to imagine days of yore, which you can easily do just by wandering around this ancient site. If you aren't interested in buying anything, the best thing to do is to not make eye contact and ignore them....not easy, but try. However, if you do purchase things, remember to BARGAIN! This is an adventure, after all.…

We took the ferry from Spain to Tangier. Tangier is a very interesting place. The architecture, customs and language is so different from Spain. Lots of shops including places to buy local spices, carpets and oils. The street vendors are everywhere. It seems like bartering is the theme there if you are in a store or on the street. There's a large local market too. Lots of colorful blue and white buildings. Our local guide Mo was great.…

Fascinating place to visit. Hundreds of years old and an eye opening insight into life in this city down the years. The museum shuts at 6.00 pm, so don't be late!

While in Southern Spain, I couldn't resist the chance to take the Tarifa Ferry to Tangier (about 20 Euros). A short walk from the ferry will bring you up into the Medina and Casbah. Old world Arab market wares of silver, bronze, wood and ceramics... not to mention world-famous Moroccan rugs, are available in abundance (do your homework!). The dry spice markets are beautiful, with fresh and exotic smells... the vegatable and food markets have something for everyone too... try the fresh bread, strawberries and dates, mmmm. The venders are a little aggressive but like in any Arab market in the world, they are supreme actors and will play to your discomfort at saying "no thank you!" If you want something, just make eye-contact and the game is on! Haggling is a fun art and sport, so give it a try! Definitely worth your day... or head out for Rabat (the capital city) and spend the night! …
