RIAD TANJA by chef Moha

Past the American Legation and down the escalier américain steps into Tangier's old medina, Riad Tanja by chef Moha occupies a restored courtyard house on Rue Portugal, in the Beni Ider quarter. The riad suits travellers wanting a walkable base near the Kasbah rather than the newer Ville Nouvelle.

Chef Moha runs the kitchen himself, with rooftop dinners built around Tangier's daily fish market rather than a fixed menu. Rooms open onto a tiled interior courtyard, shielding guests from medina street noise.

The Grand Socco and port ferries to Tarifa are both within a fifteen-minute walk downhill.
