This is now my 3rd post (1st in Africa) of a place that is listed in the 2nd Edition that I have done that is not in the 1st Edition.
In November 2004, I went with my sister and 3 friends to Gibraltar, then boarded a ferry and made our way to Morocco!
Tangier is located just 8 miles from Spain, across the Strait of Gibraltar.
While there, we ate the local food.
And went in all the shops.
And explored all the city had to offer!
Verdict: No. I'm actually surprised this city was added to the 2nd Edition. I loved our day here and I'm so glad we did it. In my opinion, it's a shame to be in Gibraltar (which is an absolute must do!) and then not make your way to Tangier since it's so close. I mean, why not check out a new country?! But honestly, it didn't seem all that much different than a lot of other middle eastern cities and, due to the location of it, it's super crowded and touristy. I want to go back to Morocco, but I want to go to Fez and Marrakech - I hear they are both much better than Tangier!
