Sultan's Palace

Nestled in the heart of Tangier’s kasbah, the 17th-century palace of Sultan Moulay Ismael epitomizes timeless elegance. Known as the Pearl of the Straits, Tangier is a city of contrasts that captivates with its rich history and enigmatic charm.

This grand residence has hosted illustrious gatherings of world-renowned personalities, including Jean Paul Belmondo, Alain Delon, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, and the Hermes family. Its high-ceilinged salons and expansive terraces overlook the city, complemented by an emerald swimming pool—the highest in Tangier.

Moroccan royalty, along with distinguished guests such as Princess Al-Sabah of Kuwait, Prince Salman of Saudi Arabia and his family, Queen Rania of Jordan, the Bulgarian royal family, Prince Moulay Rachid, and King Mohammed VI before his reign, have all been welcomed here.

Built into the hillside, this last standing palace in Tangier spans multiple levels featuring hanging gardens, inner courtyards, and terraces interconnected by graceful stairways. Each level opens onto magnificent views of Tangier Bay, blending heritage and breathtaking vistas.
