Tangier American Legation Museum
In the midst of the old medina in Tangier, America has provided
a thriving cultural centre, museum, conference venue and library in
the only historic landmark of the United States that is located
abroad. The American Legation Museum is housed in the American
Embassy, established in Tangier back in 1777 when Morocco became
the first power that recognised the United States of America as an
independent country. The museum houses art collections and restored
rooms. Guided tours are offered.
Information & Facts
Address
Admission
Language
Arabic is the official language, but eight other
languages are also spoken including Berber, French and Spanish.
English is generally understood in the tourist areas, but French is
the most widely spoken.
Money
The unit of currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), which is
divided into 100 centimes. ATMs are available in the larger towns,
but can be unreliable; currency can be exchanged at banks or
official bureaux de changes, which are also widespread in major
towns. Dirhams cannot be obtained or exchanged outside Morocco and
receipts must be retained as proof of legal currency exchange, as
well as in order to re-exchange money when departing. Major credit
cards are accepted in the larger shops, hotels and restaurants.
Travellers cheques can be used in tourist areas, but are not
prevalent; they are best taken in Euros or Pounds Stirling.
