Oh wait, I'd have to pay my respects to something Ibn Batouta-related as well...
Tangier has passed laws in recent years that really crack down on the touts. When I was there for 5 days in the spring of 2011 my mother & I walked all over the place & were never approached/received unwelcome attention from touts. I think it's gone a long way in fixing the negative impression that many visitors used to have.
