Tangier’s Kasbah quarter in December 2015 — the neighbourhood setting of the Contemporary Art Museum.
Contemporary art in a former prison
The former Kasbah prison now houses a museum for contemporary art and temporary exhibitions. Its setting adds another layer to a walk through the kasbah: a historic building used for a changing cultural programme.
Choose between two museums
The Contemporary Art Museum and the nearby Kasbah Museum of Mediterranean Cultures are different institutions. The latter introduces archaeological and ethnographic collections in the former palace. Check each museum’s current programme, admission and opening arrangements with the National Museums Foundation.
Continue through Tangier
Combine the visit with the public streets around Place Al Mechouar, then use the Tangier travel guide to choose your next stop. The map follows the Foundation’s published Kasbah-square location, rather than a surveyed entrance.
Tangier’s Kasbah Contemporary Art Museum occupies the former Kasbah prison beside Place Al Mechouar. Its exhibitions are a separate visit from the nearby Museum of Mediterranean Cultures. Check the current programme before choosing which museum to enter.

- Asilah
Asilah brings together an Atlantic-facing medina, ramparts and a tradition of art in public streets. Choose it for a town walk with sea views, then make a separate plan for beach time. Tangier provides a different northern city experience along the same coast.
- Tangier Bocadillo
The culinary identity of Tangier Bocadillo rests on north-Moroccan sandwich culture influenced by Mediterranean and Spanish food habits.
- Ibn Battuta International Festival
Tangier’s Ibn Battuta festival uses the city-born traveler as a starting point for literature, exploration, performance and cross-cultural exchange. It works best when the historical figure is contextualized rather than romanticized: one official talk or exhibition can precede a medina walk connecting travel writing, port geography and later Tangier narratives. Programs and venues vary, and not every activity is an exact reenactment of Ibn Battuta’s life.
- Tangier waterfront: port, marina and bay
Tangier’s city waterfront brings together the bay, marina and Tanger Ville port. These are neighbouring places with different purposes. Choose a promenade walk, a port arrival or a marina visit before planning the rest of your day.
