The Interzone: A City Like No Other

Initially, if you are reading a Tangier travel guide, you must understand its unique geography. Furthermore, this city sits just 14 kilometers away from Spain. Specifically, it guards the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. Consequently, it represents the exact point where Europe ends and Africa begins. Moreover, between 1924 and 1956, Tangier served as a mysterious International Zone. Indeed, our Morocco Roaming tours will help you uncover the profound literary history and cultural blending of this extraordinary port city.

在丹吉爾 Kasbah 的城牆上向北望,14公里的水面外就是歐洲,而你腳下是非洲。這座城市是摩洛哥最複雜、最難以定義的地方。從1924至1956年,丹吉爾作為「國際共管城市」,形成了一種獨特的法律灰色地帶,吸引了無數間諜、先鋒藝術家和垮掉派作家(如保羅·鮑爾斯、威廉·博羅斯)在此安家。丹吉爾同時容納了過去與現在,卻不完全屬於其中任何一個。
