Things to do in Tangier
Where Africa meets Europe across the strait. These are the Tangier experiences locals actually recommend — sorted by category so you can plan your day in one glance.
Fès est l'une des rares cités impériales médiévales du monde islamique dont les monuments demeurent en usage. La médersa Bou Inania (1350-1357), commandée par le sultan mérinide Abou Inan Faris, est la seule médersa de Fès encore utilisée comme mosquée du vendredi. La mosquée-université al-Qaraouiyine, fondée en 859 par Fatima al-Fihri, abrite la plus ancienne bibliothèque universitaire au monde, restaurée et rouverte au public en 2016. La tannerie Chouara, dans Fès el-Bali, produit du cuir avec les mêmes fosses de teinture depuis le XIᵉ siècle. Cette page liste les sites que nous avons visités personnellement, avec horaires vérifiés et conseils pratiques.
