Tangier

The Carthaginian name of the city is variously recorded as tng, tngʾ, tyngʾ, and ttgʾ.

Tangier was founded as a Phoenician colony, possibly as early as the 10th century BCE.

Tangier has a Mediterranean climate with heavier rainfall than most parts of North Africa.

Tangier is Morocco's second most important industrial centre after Casablanca.

The old town of Tangier is surrounded by more than 1,829 metres of stone rampart, mostly dating to the town's Portuguese occupation.
