AMERICAN LEGATION MUSEUM
Don't miss this display of photographs of old Tangier. It's housed in one of Tangier's most beautiful houses (pictured). In 1821 Sultan Moulay Suliman gave it to the American people, the first foreign property ever acquired by the US government.

Said to be the inspiration for Rick's Bar in Casablanca, slink into this classy throwback to the raffish International Zone days of Tangier and toast the Caid himself, whose portrait adorns the walls.
