Background & Culture
– “Morocco: From Empire to Independence” by C.R. Pennell: A concise history of the country to help you understand Tangier’s strategic and multicultural past.
– Any good introduction to Islam and North African culture (often included in the cultural sections of major guidebooks) will enrich visits to mosques, markets, and historical sites.
As your travel agent, I would suggest reading a practical guide (such as Lonely Planet or DK Eyewitness) before you depart, and then taking one novel set in Tangier with you. This way, you’ll have reliable information for planning your days, and a literary companion that will deepen your connection with the city as you explore it.
