Practical local guidance for planning more time in Morocco.
Tangier in summer means 26-28°C days, Atlantic breeze, and a city at its best while the rest of Morocco overheats. The essential list: the kasbah at golden hour, mint tea at Café Hafa, camels on Achakkar beach, Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules, a medina food walk, and a day trip to Chefchaouen.
