A very nice surprise in Tangier. It shows the connection between the USA and Morocco, and the space is beautiful. Great hidden gem. The price is 50 MAD (about €5) for non-locals, and you can get the tickets on the spot. Only cash is accepted.

Fascinating! Great to see and read about the history between Morocco and the US. A living example of countries with completely different cultures respecting each other’s values. I love the way it is exactly as it was with furniture, newspapers, radios and music to match the time in history or an event. A must see when visiting Tangier!

It was the unexpected highlight of my Tangier visit. Wonderful building and amazing history. Important Note: Entry Ticket is 50 Moroccan Dirham (about 5 euros) but they only accept Cash in dirhams. No euros or dollars. Morocco was the first country to recognize the fledgling US in 1777. The US signed its first ever international trade treaty with Morocco in 1786. The building was gift to the fledgling United States from the Sultan of Morocco in 1821, and the Tangier American Legation was a diplomatic mission and home for over 140 years, until 1957. The building is still owned by the U.S. Department of State and is America's oldest diplomatic property globally. It is the only U.S. National Landmark located overseas.

It’s a great place to come. Cost is 50dirram. Not bad place to learn some local/American history. You can do the entire place within 30mins.

Absolutely worth the history tour. We did have a guide lead us to the right spot which we recommend. If you are not used to alleyways being considered roads. There is lots of information to absorb, take a light snack to enjoy in the courtyard. Beautiful seating and in the shade if you go during high summer like us.

This is an impressive piece of American history. It is well worth seeking out this museum. It was the first American property on foreign soil and has played roles in American history during the Civil War and during WWII.

The American Legation in the Medina of Tangier was the first US diplomatic office abroad, established in 1821. After Morocco's capital moved to Rabat in 1956, the building became a museum and cultural center.
