Tangiers




Took a morning train from Fez to Tangiers on Sept 8th. Were lucky to find a reasonable hotel on the main boulevard overlooking the Mediterranean. We got the room at a discounted rate of $46 per night.

Tangiers is the gateway to Africa. The main boulevard runs parallel to the Mediterranean. The many restaurants along the promenade offer excellent food.

During the day, we visit the Kasbah and the Medina. In the evenings, the nightlife along the beach gets very lively with the many chic restaurants and night clubs. We took in one nightclub playing traditional middle eastern music, with middle eastern style dancing - a unique experience. There was no alcohol, and a coke cost $6.

Tonight, we take the overnight sleeper train to Marrakesh.
