The Kasbah is right next to the Medina, and it has a great museum! The views of the sea are really nice from the Kasbah walls, and the interior streets are calmer than the Medina. There are a lot of … Full review by StefanieH443

Interesting to walk around the area to take in the ambience of Tangier. Great views to Gibraltar and Spain. Interesting narrow streets. Full review by Barb N
Hi! My friend and I are going to Tangier next december. Im wondering if I should book a guide from here (theyre around 200 bucks) or check out the ones that offer their services there. I'd rather give the money to locals- how much should I pay for a day trip?

We booked a tour guide based on TripAdvisor reviews. At the time, some of the things we did and saw were not what we were interested in, but after it was all said and done, I am glad that we did it that way. We saw a lot of the whole city and had enough time in both the medina and the casbah. We never would have gotten to some of the interesting points that Tangier had to offer without the guide and the street people were far less annoying when they knew we were with someone.
What are your two favorite shops and why? Where are they? Thanks, Becca

Hello, I don't do shopping in Tangier's Kasbah or the Medina, the bargaining process is tedious and time-consuming and merchants tend to be reluctant to drop their initial asking prices. I can recommend two other places, the informal daily Souk at the top of Rue Portugal (check a Google map for orientation) and the wonderful Bazar Tindouf in Rue de la Liberte, (opposite the El Minzah Hotel) I wanted to write a review of this amazing 'Aladdin's Cave', but Trip said no, so blame the suits upstairs. In the evenings, many informal pavement Souks spring up along and behind the main street, Avenue Pasteur, the other two recommendations are only a ten minute walk from here. There is also a daily fruit and vegetable Souk outside Saint Andrews church where villagers bring their home-grown produce to sell. Hope this helps, as a rule of thumb a merchant's asking price is three times (or more) a reasonable one, they size you up by your clothing, jewellery and especially an expensive-looking wrist watch, so try dressing down a bit when out shopping, best I can advise! Try to avoid shopping after dark, many shops are deliberately poorly lit to disguise imperfections in stock, especially clothing, by all means look around but go back in good daylight to complete any deal. Benjamin.
