Stop At: Gran Mezquita de Tanger, Tangier Morocco
The Great Mosque of Tangier is a nineteenth-century construction that stands in what was once the center of the Medina of Tangier. The site of the mosque was formerly the home of several significant religious buildings from various civilizations that previously occupied Tangier, dating back originally to a fifth-century Roman church. After the Muslim conquest of Tangier in the eighth century, the church was converted to a mosque by the Marinid Dynasty and remained so until the late fifteenth century. The mosque was replaced by a church during the centuries in which Tangier was under Portuguese and English rule. After Moulay Ismail recaptured the city for the Alawi dynasty in 1684, the church was once again transformed into a mosque. Sultan Sulayman completely rebuilt the mosque in 1815 due to its poor physical condition, creating the building that stands in Tangier today.

As you may know, Morocco was the first country to recognize the fledgling United States, in 1777, and this was the first piece of American real estate abroad, as the original building was given to the United States to serve as a diplomatic presence in Morocco by Sultan Mulay Suliman in 1821 and served as such in some capacity until 1961, and that is the longest period (140 years) any building abroad has been occupied as a United States diplomatic post.

Let me start off by saying we do not take organized tours when we travel. We prefer to explore on our own and at our own pace. However, research into our first trip to Morocco via friends, blogs and TripAdvisor (of course), a common thread prevailed: We Should Hire A Private Guide. So we did- we selected Latif Tours based on the reviews on Trip Advisor and I am happy to say it was a great decision. We arrived by ferry at Tangier Ville dock and were met by Ali of Latif Tours. Our ferry was late but Ali was right on time. The large and comfortable SUV accommodated 5 adults easily. We were whisked off to the Ancient Medina for lunch at the Restaurant Kasbah. Our tour of the Medina and the Kasbah followed through the narrow winding streets. Ali introduced us to the culture in the Medina. Of course, no tour of the Medina is complete without a visit to the rug shop, spice shop, and textile shop - which we found charming and interesting. We bought a beautiful Berber rug and were very pleased with our purchase. We never felt pressured to buy anything. Following the Medina and Kasbah, Ali turned us over to Abdul who took us to the beach, to ride camels and to visit Hercules Cave. All the typical sites. He delivered us to our hotel and asked the porter to escort us to another restaurant in the Medina for the evening. He was concerned that we would get lost in the narrow winding streets, particularly at night. We certainly appreciated the extra attention. Latif Tours - 5 stars!Great tour by an awesome guide!

Latif gave us a wonderful, personalized tour that covered many of the highlights of the city, including a Berber market, the souks, the medina, the Kasbah, and the caves of Hercules. He is extremely knowledgeable, and was able to answer all of our questions regarding history and culture. Some tour guides try to pressure you into purchasing other services, or try to upsell with tours to other locations, but there was none of that with Latif. He understood that we didn’t want an organized tour of the entire country, but rather wanted to follow our own itinerary, and we really appreciated that. We would certainly recommend Latif Tours to anyone looking for a personable, knowledgeable guide to show them around TangierLatif private tour is the absolute best.

Latif private tour is the absolute best. Five of us ferried over from Spain to check out Tangier. Fortunately we had made reservations with Latif Tours for our private tour. We were met at the boat dock and quickly boarded an SUV for our tour. And what a tour it was! We hit all the high spots in Tangier, as well as some off the lesser spots. For example, we passed Malcolm Forbes' house which he owned and often occupied prior to his death. Some of us did camel rides, while others took numerous pics of the various places we visited. The Medina was cleaner and less confusing than the one in Fez, and there were some bargains if you're a shopper. One place was selling LaCoste polo shirts - 2 for $50. Knock offs, but good material. There were also very reasonable prices on carpets, scarves, and leather goods. Latif explained the significance of the sights we visited, filled us in on the history, and was the super tour guide! We ended up spending close to six hours on the tour - even though it was advertised as a four hour tour. All in all a great day. I highly recommend Latif tours if you should go to Tangier. (jr)We had a wonderful time with Youssef and Abdul wandering around Tangier, learning the history and seeing the sites.
