    Tangier - Gateway of the Phoenicians

    The legendary port where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. Phoenicians established a trading presence here in the first millennium BC, calling it 'Tingis.' The old medina, Kasbah museum, and legendary Cafe Hafa (where the Rolling Stones wrote songs) offer a fitting end to the North African chapter. No wine, but the atmosphere of ancient maritime trade persists.
