Fernwayer's Things to Do in Tangier
Tangier, Morocco, stands where Africa meets Europe across the Strait of Gibraltar. The things to do here unfold between whitewashed kasbah walls, Beat Generation cafés, Arab-Andalusian heritage, and coastal views shaped by centuries of exchange.
Facing the Strait of Gibraltar and the Spanish border, Tangier is a place with a diverse cultural heritage. Known for its whitewashed kasbah, sweeping bay views, and golden sand beaches, the city has long been a favorite summer destination for Moroccan royalty. In the mid-20th century, it became a magnet for artists and expatriates—most famously the Beat Generation, with writers like William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac drawn to its bohemian spirit. Today, the city’s layered history unfolds in its medina, cafés, and cultural spaces. Experiences here explore this rich past and creative roots through artist meetups and deep dives into the city's Arab-Andalusian roots. With more time, you can journey into the Rif Mountains to explore Chefchaouen—the famous blue city—just two hours away. There, you’ll hike to hidden viewpoints, visit a working farm, and share a meal with a local family, gaining a deeper sense of mountain life beyond the postcard views.
