From Hitchcock to Bourne, Morocco has been paid homage to over and over by the silver screen -- think Casablanca and Lawrence of Arabia to Babel and Inception. It's no surprise, given the magic and allure of a country that's rich in its coast, culture, and history.
At the cross-roads of Europe and Africa, Tangier opens the door onto Morocco. The port city located near the Strait of Gibraltar was originally an ancient Phoenician trading post, and later a Carthaginian and then a Roman settlement, laying the foundation for its rich history amd making it a mecca of museums, mosques, churches and souks.
Popular tourist spots include the Dar el Makhzen (Sultan's palace), the Kasbah Mosque and Tangier Grand Mosque , Anglican Church of St. Andrew , the Grand Socco or big square, museums like American Legation, Museum of Moroccan Arts and Antiquities and Museum of Contemporary Art . Its enigmatic charm has historically attracted artists (Matisse), musicians (Hendrix), politicians (Churchill), and writers (Burroughs, Twain).
