— About Tangier
A Moroccan port on the Strait of Gibraltar
Tangier has been a strategic gateway between Africa and Europe since Phoenician times. Its whitewashed hillside medina is home to the Dar el Makhzen, a palace of the sultans now turned museum, and the American Legation Museum — an 1821 Moorish-style consulate documenting two centuries of U.S.–Moroccan diplomacy.
