tours from tangier: Tangier is a shining example of the new Morocco. Like many Moroccan cities, It boasts a grand boulevard that runs parallel to the beach and is named after the country’s beloved King Mohamed VI. His policies have breathed new life into the city. In the mid-20th century, Tangier was considered too strategically important to be controlled by any one country and was instead jointly governed by European powers. Independent travelers can easily explore the city upon disembarking from a boat.
