Medina, Tangier, Morocco pictured on December 27, 2009. A group of men are barely seen in the shadowy Old Town. One wears a white Djellaba and cap which catch the little available light. Tangier, the 'White City', gateway to North Africa, a port on the Straits of Gibraltar where the Meditaerranean meets the Atlantic is an ancient city where many cultures, Phoenicians, Berbers, Portuguese and Spaniards have all left their mark. With its medina, palace and position overlooking two seas the city is now being developed as a tourist attraction and modern port. Picture by Manuel Cohen
