A weekend in Tangier, Morocco

Feeling a little tired of the grey uk?
Need something a little more exotic than your daily routine?
Hop across to Gatwick and fly to Tangiers on Friday, and you can be back on Sunday evening ready for that weekly routine again.
And while it may not be a huge amount of time, a weekend getaway that takes you to another country and continent in 4 hours has got to be worth it?
So with the scheduling of Air Arabia Maroc flights on a Friday and Sunday I decided to give some thought to what would I do if I had a fleeting 48 hours in Tangiers?
First of all decide where you want to stay!
In the medina, in the kasbah, hotel, riad??
La Tangerina
I have a list of my personal preferences HERE on the blog
I think for first time visitors my advice would be to head up to the kasbah  –  The kasbah gives you a feel of the exotic without the chaos . . . there feels like there is a little more light and space, and considering you don’t have a lot of time, it will also be a bit more relaxing!
Things start pretty late in the evenings in Morocco – so no need to worry that you will be late for dinner.
If you are feeling intrepid head straight down the hill towards the Grand Socco and the Medina where there is no shortage of places to eat and sights to immerse yourself in.
If you are more in the mood to relax and unwind over a glass of Moroccan red, pop into El Morocco Club in the Kasbah and see who’s who in town.
 
In the morning
take a stroll out of the Kasbah and do a little boutique shopping in Las Chicas right by the main entrance where you will be able browse their curated collection of contemporary Moroccan crafts and fashion.
Then head down the hill to the medina and the markets – take your time, wander around and work out what you want and where to find it.
Keep an eye out for the nougat man in the medina – in my opinion the best nougat around!
Take a coffee break at Cinema Rif and people watch.
Feeling a little peckish after all that walking – try La Petit Socco in the middle of the medina – or La Saveur up the steps just outside the medina for a taste of fresh local food.
A lot of the Moroccan experience is about sitting and sipping a tea or coffee and watching the day go by – so if you are in that frame of mind and it is a lovely sunny day, head all the way back up the hill (you can get a petit taxi but actually central Tangiers is pretty walkable) and kick back with a mint tea at the famous Cafe Hafa.

If a weekend break is more about relaxing around a swimming pool then try a place like   La Maison de Tanger where you can head back to a sunlounger after negotiating the medina.

relax at the swimming pool at La Maison de Tanger

Sunday morning – you might just have enough time to dash into the medina for those babouche you decided you really want
but honestly – if I was you – I would find a spot on the terrace . . .

view from the terrace of Dar Jand
 admire the view and the particular light that bounces off the ocean and enticed artists like Matisse to the city.

Sip on some freshly squeezed orange juice or aromatic mint tea before heading over to the airport to wing your way home.

Its not a lot of time – but being on the northern edge of Africa, exploring the medina, hearing the call to prayer, all make for something a little more than average for a simple weekend break.

For more information re flights from London too Tangiers go to the Air Arabia Maroc website and head off into that sunset!!

Tamegroute is both a place and a process - the alchemy from the earth in this small village on the edge of the Sahara produces the distinctive Tamegroute pottery - on the blog today and where to find it online via @helplocalwithlove who are providing an online platform for artisans who have been cut off from the tourist market this past year - link in bio  #tamegroute #handmade #ethicalshopping #madeinmorocco

earlier this week I posted about this piece I wrote for The National - I have indulged myself this morning  by posting the article on my blog without the cuts and edits...not a huge difference but it is all in the details isn't it?? It just flows a little smoother ...(link in bio)

Great to see this article I wrote for @thenationalnews.com  in print - a little slice of what Tangier has to offer on the creative and design front. #madeinmorocco #moroccancraft #teaintanger #tangier #tanger #moroccandesign #moroccaninspiration

Step down from the terrace into the cool leafy shade of the central courtyard - there is a wonderful flow of space in this riad with all the downstairs let being space opening up to the courtyard (DM for more information) #holidayinmorocco #lifeinthemedina #Assilah #asilah #tanger #tangier #teaintanger #moroccanproperty #interiorinspirations #urbanjungle

Fitting perfectly into this week's monochrome mood
Fitting perfectly into this week's monochrome mood is one of my favourite houses in the medina of Assilah - Dar Ka has been sympathetically renovated in the tradition of a riad but also has a very clean contemporary feel about it - this roof terrace is the perfect spot for a cold glass of wine and a sunset - AND a little bird has told me it's on the market 💙SO if you are looking for a place to retreat to and call your own in the wonderful seaside Medina of Assilah message me for more info.

This beautiful bed linen by @tweem.co  is also part of my Monochromatic Morocco story on the blog this week - taking inspiration from traditional embroidery they have transformed it into a luxury range of linen.

Carrying on with the monochromatic train of though
Carrying on with the monochromatic train of thought...I had to include some images of interiors by fashion designer Marlene Birger who - as far as I am concerned - has perfected the layered Moroccan inspired monochrome interior. Her interiors manage to be full of detail yet the pared down palette makes it restful, but never dull!!! Layers of textiles include Beni ouarain carpets and vintage handira - it's all about pattern and texture! 🖤link in bio
