Tangier has long been an object of fascination to foreign visitors, especially as, until the end of the nineteenth century, it was usually the only town in Morocco that they could visit. Travel‐writers, particularly towards the end of the nineteenth century and at the start of the twentieth century, were fascinated and, on occasion, repulsed by the alien cultures and ethnic interactions of the city. It was rare, however, that reactions were totally negative and when they were, they reflected the assumptions of cultural superiority common amongst Europeans at the time
