Moshe Nahon Synagogue

Good to visit while in Tangier, especially for lovers of history and social culture. I have always been astonished by the Jewish history and the history of religions… Don’t miss visiting the little exhibition in a small private room that held a private but important collection of some specific Jewish events in Tangier. I wish I could get some fund to study the Jewish community in the city; past and present !

A little hard to find but doable if you carefully watch Google maps. Worth visiting to appreciate Jewish heritage in Morocco.

Very pretty little Sephardi synagogue with a tiny museum. Free to come in but always a good idea to tip the custodian a few Dirhams

This is the only one synagogue left and open to public in Tangier. Of the same street there were at least 4 others, but are not open to public. Another former synagogue that is possible to visit is a Fondation Lorin museum, which in in synagogal building hosting exhibition of photos and other documents about Tangier history.
Nahon synagogue is open during the week regularly, during Saturday also, but only the upper women's gallery. Photography is allowed. Synagogue is in use occasionally, together with Shaarey Rephael synagogue in the new city, but there are barely Jews left in Tangier. Still, there is a Rabbi of Tangier community - Jacob Tordjman.
Synagogue is very nicely decorated with silver candelabras and lamps. You can see the donation plates of different artifact that people donated to remember the soul of their closest that pass away. Upper gallery is used as a exhibition hall, and showing the Ketubas, wedding agreement lists, some on paper, but handmade embroidery, and also other artifacts used for prayers, and in different stages of Jewish life.
Very important reminder of Jewish present in Morocco, and specifically in Tangier.
There is guardian living in property, just ring the bell, and he will open for you. Donation expected (20DH).

One of the most beautiful synagogues I have ever visited. It is difficult to locate, as is everything in the Medina of Tangier, but if you stumble across it, you must try to visit. It is not always open to the public and a small donation is expected, but it is well worth it.

Beautiful and moving historic synagogue in Tangier's Old Medina

The only synagogue left and open to public in the neighbourhood. Not easy to find, at the end of an alleyway, but so much worth it! The Muslim guardian will see you arrive and open the gate, and even guide you through the place with interesting and nice explanations. I have been to Israel, and despite that it has probably been my favourite synagogue ever!
After the visit you leave a donation.

Beautiful! The gentleman showing us around was so proud, rightfully, to show us this gorgeous gem. There is a very tiny museum, showing some history of the Jews of Tangier

Thank you for the tour around and for the detailed program.

Gorgeous! And very welcoming.

Highly spiritual place

Altre lloc de culte a visitar per entendre Tànger i la seva gent multicultural

Una sorpresa encontrar un lugar con tanto pasado, casi por casualidad. Es como hacer un viaje en el tiempo. Nos permitieron hacer fotos y visitar cada rincón sin problema, el museo con mucha historia para los judíos sefardíes.
El señor de la puerta muy amable.

Lugar muy interesante, el encargado es un hombre muy amable que habla español y te explica todo lo que hay en el interior, te permite hacer fotos y videos. Es increíble poder encontrar este pequeño rincón coexistiendo en armonía y con respeto junto a otras culturas, creencias y costumbres. Vale mucho la pena.

Magnífica sinagoga conservada excelentemente. El cuidador de la misma, Rossi, habla español y te atiende con gran amabilidad. La sinagoga tiene un pequeño museo. Recomendable.

Zeer vriendelijk ontvangen en interessante uitleg gekregen. Spijtig dat de synagoge niet meer in gebruik is

يقع هذا الكنيس في ساحة سوكو الكبيرة، ويزيد عمره عن قرن, وهو اليوم عبارة عن متحف يعرض متعلقات دينية من المعابد اليهودية, وما أن تدخل المكان حتى تلاحظ جمال التصميم المعماري في الداخل، حيث يطغى عليه الطابع التقليدي الذي يشكل مزيجًا ساحرًا من الهندسة المغربية والإسبانية, وتزين المكان أيضاً ثريات كبيرة معلقة من السقف، كما يتمتع هذا المكان الرائع بالإضافة إلى أجوائه الروحانية المؤثرة بإطلالة مذهلة على مرفأ طنجة, سيذهلك حتماً كل ما في هذا المكان الجميل.

Sehr schöner geschichtsträchtigen Ort mit kleinem Museum.Der Herr hat für uns die Synagoge geöffnet und uns viel erklärt und gezeigt.Ein besonderer Ort der Stille und Besinnung.Scheuen Sie sich nicht zu klopfen,wenn geschlossen ist.

Visite sympathique.
