Formerly known as Tingis by Phoenicians, Tangier is a melting pot of various cultural influences like the Romans, the Vandals and more. The old city or Medina of Tangier is a popular UNESCO World Heritage Site. Prominent writers and celebrities like Paul Bowles and William S. Burroughs called Tangier home and spent most of their time there.
While strolling through the city, keep the local customs in mind and dress conservatively, especially while visiting religious sites. Do try the delicious local Moroccan cuisine such as tagine, couscous and fresh seafood.
