Tangier is a city in northwestern Morocco. It is on the Maghreb coast at the western entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Spartel, the southern half of the Strait of Gibraltar. The town is the capital of the Tanger - Tetouan - Al Hoceima region, as well as the Tangier - Assilah prefecture of Morocco. It nestles between two hills at the northwest end of the Bay of Tangier, which historically formed the best natural harbour anywhere on the Moroccan coast before the increasing size of ships required anchorage to be made further and further from shore. Morocco, Africa.
