The World’s Biggest Medina - Tangier Medina
Like almost every city in Morocco, Tangier is divided into two sections: the new town and the old town, called the Medina, which is enclosed by a medieval wall.
Tangier’s Medina is a maze of narrow streets lined with whitewashed buildings with beautifully crafted doors and intricate tilework. Bustling, colorful markets (or souks) overflow with spices, textiles, ceramics, and crafts, where bargaining is an art form. The atmosphere is lively, with vendors calling out their wares and the rich aroma of spices filling the air.
The Medina is also home to historic landmarks such as the Kasbah and the Grand Mosque, offering glimpses into Tangier's rich past. A visit here is an immersive experience that captures the essence of Moroccan life and history.
