Located in North Morocco, Tangier is a fascinating city that offers a wealth of cultural and historical experiences to any who visit.  Most tourists head to Cape Spartel to see the Cave of Hercules, where mythology says the demigod rested. You also have to see the 17th century architecture of the Kabash, inside of which you’ll also find the Kabash Museum and Cafe Detroit, known for hosting expat writers and artists in their 1960’s heyday.  Walk down the French-inspired Ville Nouvelle and upon reaching the end of  Boulevard Pasteur you can see the harbor offering interesting views of the Strait of Gibraltar and distant Spain (only 14 km away).  As there might be less in Tangier to do than in other cities, consider getting your hammam experience here. It usually includes a full body scrub, hot and cold water treatments, and a full body massage. Locals come here to these bathhouses to socialize fully nude -although seperated by sex -so be prepared to strip down.

An important note about visiting Morocco for women: many females travelers have reported that they would not solo travel in Morocco due to sexual harassment.  It would be safer to travel with a group or with a male traveler, and additionally, it’s important to dress more modestly as it is still a very conservative and male dominated country.
