The Myth of Tangier UNCOVERED! 🇲🇦 (Tanger)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2024
- Tangier aka Tanger. A timeless myth. A place for those who wish to escape the norms to an alluring promise of freedom.
I want to see if there’s any truth to it, and if there’s any of that city remaining, if it ever existed.
This is the city that from the 50s to the 70s was a refuge for some of the most important authors of the Beat Generation. The group of writers who influenced American culture over two to three decades following World War II. Their works explored and explicitly depicted fringes of the human condition and experiments with drugs and sex.
Paul Bowles really started it all. He moved to Tangier in 1947 and remained until his death in 1999. For most, if they knew of Tangier at all, it was through his writing. In his writings he created a vision of Tangier that has persisted to this day.
The city where William Burroughs… the Gentleman Junkie and elder statesman of the Beat Generation, came in 1953 and later wrote his surrealist masterpiece, Naked Lunch.
We'll follow in the footsteps of the Beat authors, Keith Richards and the Rolling Stones, Anthony Bourdain and many other celerbaties, artists and spies.

I really don't understand how TH-cam algorithms work, but your channel deserves at least a million subscribers. Keep it up, you're doing an excellent job.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, help spread the word 🙂
Id have to agree!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Hello, Chris, I discovered your channel today, and have been engrossed since this morning.
This video, in particular, has inspired me to spend some time in Tanger. Fascinating.
The landmarks connected to Paul Bowles, William Burroughs, etc, were magic. Great filming.
Thanks a lot, I’m glad you like it! I was quite fascinated with Tangier myself, one of my favourite cities in Morocco now.
Great video Chris your sub from 🇲🇦❤
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I was there 2 years ago and I really liked it. I have to go back again to drink Moroccan coffee and tea, and smoke hash😁at Cafe Baba.
Verry gooooood Video Chris.
Im back from Capaddocia. I Love this Area. in 4 Weeks i go back to Fes :)
Thank you! I’d love to go to Capaddocia myself, haven’t been there yet
Chris, I just wanted to say thank you for your videos. I'm a very anxious traveler and the first place I went to outside the US in March this year was Morocco (Marrakech and Rabat), which included the 3-day trip in the Sahara. Your review there was SPOT ON! It made me feel so much more comfortable having watched your dedicated review (twice...haha) I even was able to tell the other people in my bus that we could go to whatever restaurant we wanted and they appreciated the tip. We also were able to say goodbye to the interesting people we met before we got separated on the last overnight--which again you warned us about. Your videos are making me want to go back to Morocco. My husband loves traveling in the Middle East. Have you ever been to Jordan?
I'm really glad it was helpful to you. I made that video as I couldn't find any information online about it at the time and could have done with that kind of info myself.
I love travelling in the Middle East too and have indeed been to Jordan, though that was long before I started making videos on TH-cam. Back in 2011 I did a trip overland through Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. It was an amazing experience!
As a moroccan, i’m very happy that you enjoyed you’re journey in our country. You will be always welcomed and you still have so much places to visit. Juste one important information, Morocco is not in middle east, in fact, we are very far away from it. I know that in US you tend to put all arabe countries as middle east, wich is a wrong fact. First, Morocco is not arabe, it’s actually a berber or Amazigh country, and amazighs lives all over north Africa. Arabes came in this region in middle ages, and our language is a mix of amazigh, arabic, and latin. Second, middle east starts from egypte in west to arabic peninsula in east, wich is at least 5000 km away from Morocco. Geographicly, Morocco is considered a north african country composed of amazigh people at 90%. We prefer to be related to Africa people more than arabs or middle east populations. Hope you will come back again !
Great video Chris. We had forgotten how interesting Tangier is. Thanks for the reminder. Some nice filming of the beautiful cafes and media. C 👍
Thank you! It quickly became one of my favourite cities in Morocco
Great video. Thanks for sharing your insights into the city's cafe culture. My type of vibe
Thank you!
Nice,very nice video again Chris! 👌
Thank you! This was a hard one to put together but I had to do Tangier justice
Good work, brief as usual. Thanks for café Baba's tip. I didn't know about it before.
Thank you 🙏🏽 Cafe Baba is really a special place there
@@ChrisKermis i believe it, I didn't find il Hafa such a stunning place
Another superb video Chris. I enjoy all your videos so very much. You really know what you’re doing. Thanks👏🏻👍🏻✌🏻🤙🏻
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Enjoyed every second of it! I like your pace of talking and the fact that video is also informative. Keep going! And I am going to Tangier very soon
Good to hear! I hope you have a great time in Tangier
Chris - been following ya since you had 20 subs
Your videos are getting better and better Plus morocco is my fav destination

🙏🙏🏴🏴
Thank you 🙏🏽 I really appreciate your support and kind words!
@@ChrisKermis thanks bud
Your welcome, can we get some prices of every day costs always good to know what stuff costs , you have made a good foundation for your channel wont be long before the subs pile up you deserve it.
🙏🙏🏴🏴
@@wanderingwelshman2858 Yeah I don't normally put costs in as it always changes. Roughly I spent around 15 Euros for dinners, anywhere from 35 to 70 per night for accomodation, 1 euro for a mint tea (a lot of that in Tangier!) and 5ish for a beer.
@@ChrisKermis Thanks bud really helpfull 🙏🙏🏴
thank you for this interesting tour
Glad you liked it!
Youre talented. Awesome videos
Thank you so much!
Amazing Tanger , amazing video ❤
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing. It’s good to see the different parts of Morocco.
I'm an American who has lived n Tangier for 2 years now. It is a most complex and very simple city at the same time.
It’s a fascinating city, it’s got to be interesting to get to know better
amazing video .. thank you for showing the true beauty of my city
Thank you! I really loved Tangier, it’s a great city
Who is helping you film in some of your shots? Enjoyed your video and will be looking at all of them...hoping to go to morocco in february.
Thank you! Sometimes I travel with a friend who doesn’t want to be on video but is happy to help. Have a great trip in February! There’ll be a few more videos from Morocco coming before you go
Hi chris, another great video. Planning our trip now for early march. 1 week in Tangiers, then off to Marakesxh for 12 days, then back to Tangiers, for a few more days. If you are in Morocco, we should meet for coffee. Cheers
Hi, thank you! That's good that you're spending a decent amount of time in Tangier, I really enjoyed that city. Be sure to make the trip from there to Tetouan, it's only an hour away and really worth it! I'm no longer in Morocco, I'm home for now and off on another trip before long.
Enjoyed your video on my beautiful home city 😌👍
Great! I really enjoyed Tangier, it’s an awesome city
Great city 🔥🇲🇦❤️
You’re a pro! Great videos.
Thank you!
Interesting stuff !
Glad you think so!
Come on, more🤘
I’m hoping tomorrow for the next one, it’s pretty close but it’s been real hard to find enough time lately
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Morocco looks so beautiful, modern and very clean. Actually, Morocco is more like the European countries Spain, Portugal and France than a third world country.
Morocco certainly isn’t a third world country, and Tangier does have a European feel. Great city!
🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤🇲🇦❤
❤❤❤❤🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦👍
Have rentboy charges gone up since Burroughs and Bowles were there ?
Asking for a friend......
Why did Paul Bowles and so many others actually go to Tangier ? You forgot
to mention that..?
I’m not junky just stright😊
6:35 I think you mean 1500 BC, not 15th century
Oops. You're right of course!
U should be working at bbc 👍👍
Haha thanks!
Much better than the BBC! You deserve many more subs!
