  The medina in Tangier was overwhelming in all the worst ways—pushy vendors, maze-like alleys that just led to more aggressive sales pitches, and an unsettling vibe after dark. The beaches looked nice from a distance but up close were littered and crowded with persistent touts. Taxis were a nightmare, either refusing to use meters or driving recklessly through the chaotic streets. I couldn’t find a decent meal that didn’t feel like a tourist trap, and the constant hassle made it hard to enjoy anything. Won’t be rushing back. --- The old town had this weird mix of neglect and aggressive commercialization—crumbling walls next to overpriced carpet shops where owners wouldn’t take no for an answer. Even a simple coffee in Petit Socco turned into a battle against hustlers "offering help." The port area felt sketchy, and the famous views from the kasbah were ruined by trash and packs of stray dogs. Not the exotic charm I was expecting. --- Maybe I just had bad luck, but Tangier felt like a city that didn’t want visitors unless they were willing to be scammed. Every interaction had an angle—fake guides, rigged taxi fares, even waiters inflating bills. The few historic spots worth seeing were drowned out by the constant stress of being seen as a walking wallet. Even the Atlantic breeze couldn’t make up for the exhaustion of just existing there for a few days.

  Tangier has this chaotic charm that’s hard to ignore—narrow alleys buzzing with vendors, stray cats napping in sunlit corners, and the constant hum of scooters zipping past. The medina is fascinating but exhausting; bargaining feels more aggressive here than in other Moroccan cities, and the persistent touts can wear you down after a while. The mix of French and Arabic café culture is nice, though, and sipping mint tea on a terrace overlooking the port almost makes up for the hassle. Almost.
