🇲🇦 Tangier | Where Land Ends ⛰️ and Sea Begins 🌊

The night train from Casablanca arrived at dawn, its windows framing a city of limestone rooftops washed in pale morning light ☀️. The Mediterranean wind carried a scent unfamiliar to the Sahara—salty, alive 🌬️. 📍 Al Bahr Tower: A Spy’s View of Gibraltar 🕵️‍♂️ Wandering north through the Medina’s rising streets, I stumbled upon this unmarked vantage point 🗺️. From its modest height, Spain materialized across the strait—ships gliding through mist ⛴️, two continents divided by water and centuries ⏳. 🍃 Mint Tea & Blue-Washed Alleys ☕🐈 Tangier’s old town moved slower than expected 🐢. Sun-drenched laundry fluttered between blue and white walls �; hidden teahouses served syrupy mint tea where elders played chess ♟️ and cats dozed 😴. Time dissolved like sugar in glass cups ⏳💫. 🎬 El Minzah Hotel: Casablanca’s Ghost 🎥👻 A wrong turn led me into its courtyard—tiled arches 🏛️, tarnished brass lamps 💡, the weight of whispered histories 📜. This was the muse for Casablanca, a haven for spies and storytellers 🕵️‍♀️✍️. Sometimes the best journeys are accidents 🚶‍♂️💫. 📓 Fragments of Memory 📖✨ • A rug merchant told me his brother runs a hotel 🏨, but he prefers sunsets in the souk 🌅. • A local grinned at my camera 📸: “Best Chinese photographer I’ve met!” 🇨🇳👍 #TangierDiaries #MediterraneanWhispers #KAUSTLife #EndOfTheWorldBlue #TravelMagic ✨🌍
