Medina
The gateway to the medina is the Grand Socco (Place du 9 Avril 1947). From here, enter the medina by Rue Semmarine through a gate surrounded by Riffian women selling fruit and vegetables. This is Rue as-Siaghin. This was once Tangier's main gold market (a fair number of jewellery stores remain). South of here was the mellah (old Jewish quarter).

Kasbah
The Kasbah sits on the highest point of the city, behind stout walls. It is dominated by Dar el-Makhzen, the former sultan's palace. Coming from the medina, you enter through Bab el-Aassa, the southeastern gate.
