About Tangier

Tangier is a major city in northern Morocco. It is located on the North African coast at the western entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Spartel. The history of Tangier is very rich, due to the historical presence of many civilizations and cultures starting from before the 5th century BCE. Tangier was founded by Carthaginian colonists in the early 5th century BCE, who were probably the first ones to settle around the coast. The summers are relatively hot and sunny and the winters are wet and mild. Tangier remains a very popular tourist destination for cruise ships and day visitors from Spain and Gibraltar.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Tangier

Archeological discoveries of ceramic pieces decorated with menorahs date back to the Carthaginian era. This places Jews in Tangier, then called Tingis, immediately after the destruction of the First Temple. Pre-1956 Tangier had a population of 40,000 Muslims, 31,000 Europeans and 15,000 Jews. Tangier joined with the rest of Morocco following the restoration of full sovereignty in 1956. The Jewish community is small with approximately 150 members.

What Is *JOFY?

JOFY, or "Jewish Observant Friendly" Establishments are lodging establishments offering special services for Jewish Observant guests such as Shabbat meals, accommodation on lower floors and regular keys for the rooms. It can also be a NON KOSHER establishment located in walking distance from the local Shul, community or kosher restaurants area.
