A cool sea breeze moves through narrow alleys as the group steps from the bright terrace of the Kasbah into a maze of stone and cedar doors. Cobbled lanes slope toward views of the Strait of Gibraltar; shopkeepers call softly, and the city’s layered influences—Arab, Berber, Andalusian, European—appear in carved woodwork and tile. A private guide pulls threads of story from each courtyard: traders, diplomats, and exiles who shaped Tangier’s reputation as a meeting point between Mediterranean and Atlantic worlds.
