The city of Tangier is preparing to deploy an advanced surveillance system based on facial recognition, as part of a medina modernization project. This system, funded up to 12 million dirhams, aims to strengthen security in this historic area.

The call for tenders for the installation of the system will be open on March 25 at the agency’s headquarters for the promotion and development of the North.
