And all this under Abdul&#8217;s watch, who every day, throughout his life, meets new guests and prepares the cloyingly sweet Moroccan mint tea and very strong Turkish-style coffee.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_6ay7656 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_7wju656 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_teah876   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/aleksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/tangier_baba_aleks.jpg\" width=\"1100\" height=\"822\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/aleksblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/morocco_tanjer-49.jpg\" width=\"1100\" height=\"733\"><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->        <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row tb_0j5j245 tf_w\">\n                        <div class=\"row_inner col_align_top tb_col_count_1 tf_box tf_rel\">\n                        <div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col-full tb_stl7245 first\">\n                    <!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_32ne245   \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n        <h3>More travel stories from Morocco:<\/h3>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module post -->\n<div  class=\"module module-post tb_wucd245 \">\n        <div  class=\"builder-posts-wrap loops-wrapper grid4 masonry boxed tf_rel tf_clear tf_clearfix\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n    <article id=\"post-424\" class=\"post tf_clearfix post-424 type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-places tag-morocco has-post-title no-post-date has-post-category has-post-tag has-post-comment has-post-author \">\n\t    \n\t                <figure class=\"post-image tf_clearfix\">\n                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/aleksblog.com\/en\/cafe-baba-tangier\/\">\n                                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aleksblog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/morocco_tanjer-51-1024x682.jpg\" title=\"Cafe Baba Tangier: Where Art, History, and Culture Converge\" alt=\"Cafe Baba Tangier: Where Art, History, and Culture Converge\">                                                                    <\/a>\n                                                                <\/figure>\n                    \t<div class=\"post-content\">\n\t\t<div class=\"post-content-inner\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"post-title entry-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aleksblog.com\/en\/cafe-baba-tangier\/\">Cafe Baba Tangier: Where Art, History, and Culture Converge<\/a><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t        <div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n        \n        <\/div><!-- \/.entry-content -->\n        \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<!-- \/.post-content-inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/.post-content -->\n\t\n<\/article>\n<!-- \/.post -->\n<article id=\"post-422\" class=\"post tf_clearfix post-422 type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-countries tag-morocco has-post-title no-post-date has-post-category has-post-tag has-post-comment has-post-author \">\n\t    \n\t                <figure class=\"post-image tf_clearfix\">\n                                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/aleksblog.com\/en\/morocco-transport\/\">\n                                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aleksblog.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/morocco_marrakech-5-1024x682.jpg\" title=\"Morocco Travel by Bus, Train &#038;
