Bilal Hado is a local private tour guide in Morocco

Welcome to colorful Tangier, which for centuries was Africa's gateway from Europe. A local guide is waiting to take you on a private tour of Tangier to help you discover the historical and modern charm of this bustling Moroccan city. Start your day with a trip to the city's famous Kasbah. The former Sultan's Palace (Dar al-Makhzen) is located at the highest point in the city, overlooking Tangier from behind its seventeenth-century stone walls. Be sure to stroll through the palace gardens, and visit the museums of antiquities and Moroccan art. Then, walking around the Medina will give you a good feel for life in the city – past and present. Your guide can take you to an authentic Berber souk (local market) and help you bargain for something special to take home. Feel free to choose from one of the suggested itineraries, or talk to your guide about a customized Tangier tour that meets your unique interests in his coastal hometown.
