Tangier is an ancient city with a long history.According to the research of archaeologists, Tangier is a member of thefrontsixBuilt by the Phoenicians in the 19th century, it is called Tingis. It is one of the oldest cities in the world. At that time, Tangier was an important trading post for the Phoenicians.
The old city is like the scene described in The Thousand and One Nights: houses are crowded, styles are various, streets and alleys are crisscrossed, and shops, stalls and handicraft workshops are everywhere. People are crowded all day long, noisy and bustling. If you visit here for the first time, it is like entering a maze. You can't identify the southeast, northwest, and exit and entrance.My sense of direction is very good. I didn't get lost in Medina in other cities, but I made a fool of myself here.It was not easy to find the hotel. I went in and settled down before I came out. I found it for a long time. Finally, the child helped me find it before I returned to the hotel.
In the southeast corner of the Arab community is the American Embassy Museum, which contains a large number of ancient maps, furniture, oil paintings, prints and paintings of artists who have been to Tangier.This is the first overseas real estate of the United States after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is also regarded as a very precious cultural property by the United States.The gate was closed when I went.
The old city is similar to the Medina that we passed before. The houses are dense, the styles are various, the streets are crisscrossed, and there are shops, stalls and workshops everywhere. However, compared with Marrakech and Firth, it is much wider.
