The Kasbah in Tangiers is an absolute must see. It's one of the city's main attractions.

It was built on the highest point in Tangiers and has excellent views out over the Straits of Gibraltar and neighboring Spain. There aren't many places where you can see two continents at once.

Within its gates lies a large open courtyard, which leads you up to the Dar el Makhzen - the Sultan's palace from the 17th century, that now serves as a museum. The building is stunning. Inside you'll see some beautifully carved wooden ceilings and a marble courtyard. There is also a museum devoted to Moroccan arts and archeology.

The road up to the top of the hill is very steep, but the views are amazing; incredibly colourful.
