Goes To Tangier
A Rare Invitation to Step into Luxurious Private Gardens
Tangier, one of the Mediterranean’s oldest and most strategically-placed sea- ports has experienced a long
and dramatic history of intrigue and multicultural occupation, attractive to a fluid population of adventurers,
diplomats, spies and socialites as well as being the legendary haunt of the Beat Generation’s literary lions.
Today – to the regret of some – Tangier has shaken off its slightly seedy reputation, grown considerably smarter
and acquired cosmopolitan confidence, perhaps more attractive to business than bohemians. But the city still
has secrets and the best of these are its private gardens, hidden within the heart of the old city or behind the
high walls of the fashionable Vieille Montagne. Here, a wonderful cast of men and women have married their
love of Tangier to a love of plants, creating gardens that reflect their own diverse personalities. On this very
special tour we will have the rare privilege of stepping into these magical places and meeting their creators,
as well as enjoying the comfort and hospitality of the centrally-located and much-celebrated El Minzah Hotel.
