Tangier was the real model for the famous American film "Casablanca" with Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. It still retains its faded mongrel charm - not entirely Moroccan, European or African but a heady mix of all three - and the old world of bazaars is still intact in the form of the Grand Socco with its makeshift shops, snake charmers, musicians and storytellers. Visit the white-walled Kasbah and the Sultan’s Garden with its Moroccan fountain, fragrant herbs and shrubs, and orange and lemon trees. At the end of the day there’s always that erotic Moroccan "liquid light" that French painter Delacroix painted over and over again that makes an appearance in every love story set in the Middle East.
