Additional Information for Expats on Tangier

Tangier is located in the north of Morocco, on the southern coast of the Strait of Gibraltar. It’s an historic city, with influences from several civilizations shaping it into the city it is today. It has always been an international hub, with artists, writers, diplomats, and even spies flocking to the city in the 20th Century. You won’t run into James Bond nowadays, but Tangier still remains an excellent destination for expats in Morocco. Tangier is a rapidly developing city and is only behind Casablanca in terms of its manufacturing output.  Recent developments including a huge port (named Tanger-Med) and a 45,000-seater sports stadium have provided employment and income for the city, as well ensuring it remains a major player in the Moroccan economy. Tangier has a warm climate — temperatures rarely drop below ten degrees Celsius even in the winter. The local language is Arabic, but in big cities like Tangier it shouldn’t be too tricky to find English speakers for your first few months here.
