Location - Tangier Overview
Tangier stands as Africa’s foremost gateway, marking the primary juncture between Europe and the African continent. Beyond its status as a top-tier tourist hub in the region, Tangier has cemented itself as Morocco’s second-leading industrial epicentre, only surpassed by Casablanca.
Owing to its geographically strategic placement, Tangier is not merely a resort city but also possesses Africa’s most expansive port infrastructure. This position has propelled the city into becoming an integral economic nexus for the entire African continent. The establishment of pivotal infrastructures, such as the Tangier Med Port, Free Zone industrial locales, extensive highway networks, and high-velocity rail lines, underscores its role as the primary portal to both Morocco and the broader West African region.
There’s been a noticeable surge in demand for upscale residential properties alongside accommodations for the expanding workforce. Testament to Tangier’s escalating business relevance is the blossoming of luxurious hotel chains and resorts, including renowned names like Hilton, Kenzi, Holiday Inn, Sofitel, Movenpick, Sol Azur, and Cezar, to name a few. These establishments are strategically poised to cater to an influx of both domestic and international business travellers, complemented by the burgeoning leisure and cultural tourist segment.
