Monument · Tangier, Chefchaouen & the north

Bab Kasbah

A monumental gate into Tangier's hilltop Kasbah, Bab Kasbah leads from the medina up to the old sultan's quarter and its museum-palace. You'll climb through its arch into quiet lanes of whitewashed houses and sudden sea views, where writers and artists have long come to linger. A handsome entrance to the most storied corner of the city.
