Tangier’s Tourist Gem Turns Gambling Den: Corniche Crisis Sparks Outcry

The Tangier Corniche has recently become a refuge for the homeless and a place where people sleep under the stars. The landscape has also been transformed into a space for gambling games, organized by young men in exchange for small sums. This activity attracts a large number of teenagers and even children. These practices, which have become an integral part of the daily landscape, are affecting the beauty and tourist appeal of the city, reports Achkayen.

The residents deplore the lack of any serious intervention by the competent authorities to address this phenomenon. According to observers, the local authorities seem to remain spectators. They claim that no concrete initiative has been taken to regulate the situation or provide alternatives for the homeless, nor to organize the public space in a way that preserves its tourist appeal. Faced with the scale of the phenomenon, it is urgent to intervene to restore the Tangier Corniche to its former glory.
