Tangier
Tangier was founded by the Berbers and enhanced by the Phoenicians. Port to Morocco, the city was the capital of Mauritania for a century after the fall of Carthage in 146 BC. In the seventh century, Arabs had great interest in being able to trade with Italy and France through this region.
The city of Tangier became British teritory in the fifteenth century due to the marriage of King Charles II of England with a Portuguese princess. The Spanish and Portuguese had conquered the city shortly before.
The city will be returned Arab in 1681, but by the mid-nineteenth century, the city was in the middle of intense rivalry amongst the Western countries. Because of this rivalry Tangier was placed under the authority of nine countries: Spain, Portugal, Sweden, France, Holland, Belgium, Italy and the United States.
In 1956 the city was taken back by Morocco which gained independence a few months earlier.
Thanks to tourism the city finds a 2nd blast in 1957 because foreign investors had left the city. 
Today Tanger became a port city and resort where tourists and Moroccans wear skirts and enjoy the beach and the beautiful warm weather.
From the great mosque which is located on the Place Uta el Hamman, you can walk along streets where houses stunning colors like white, blue and purple and doors and shutters are painted blue. They were painted in these colors because they repel insects. 
A little further you find the place of the souk Mohammed V on Monday and Thursday. Many products come from the Rif around Chefchaoue.
Dar El Makhzen:
Built in the late seventeenth century by Sultan Moulay Ismail, just after the departure of British troops from Tangier. The sultan's palace, known as" Dar El Makhzen, "contains an interesting museum of Moroccan art. Well decorated, this palace serves as a window on the craft of the region.
You should take a look at the patio surrounded by arches decorated faúence for many who admire the art of these artisans. Do not also miss the beautiful entrance to the palace, which opens onto the sea, and offers an exceptional view.
The great Socco: This is a place large enough to reread the old city to the modern city. This is the great souk, the busiest in this city. And since it is an obligatory passageway, this place becomes more interesting. Especially with these merchants, dressed in their traditional striped Fouta are wearing huge straw hats with tassels of wool.
