    Where is Broome?

    Cable Beach Sunset

    Cable Beach Sunset

    Broome is located in the remote north, west coast of Australia in the State of Western Australia. Its European settlement history started out as pastoralists arrived and carved up the land for farming leases. Later it was a pearling port for Japanese pearlers in the sea off Broome during the 1880’s. Today only a handful of boats operate but still it produces some of the finest pearls in the world.

    Broome has become known as the travel destination that offers that sense of relaxation on Cable Beach, remoteness (being more than 2,200km north of Perth) and providing the access to the Australian Outback experience of The Kimberley. This area is worthy of its own post at a later date!

    Be prepared for those amazing sunsets with this Canon PowerShot light weight camera.

    Where is Marrakech?

    Local Water Seller

    Local Water Seller

    The “Red City”, in which Marrakech is often referred to is centrally located in Morocco. Situated midway between the mighty Atlas Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, Marrakesh has an approximate population of more than a million. Unofficially, it is believed it could be nearly two million. The population is a mixture of Arab, French, Belgians, Berbers and Tuareg.

    The famous Market Square of Djemaa el Fna and also one of the busiest in Africa is a treat for the senses. Here you will experience snake charmers, water sellers (in their very traditional and colourful attire), story tellers and people from all walks of life, making it a fabulous place for people watching.

    Koutoubia Mosque is the largest mosque in Marrakech and quite a recognisable landmark with its square minaret. It was completed during the reign of Sultan Yacoub el Mansour (1184-1199), making it one of the oldest of three Almohad minarets remaining in the world. The other two are in Rabat, Morocco and Seville, Spain.

    Fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent became a feature to Marrakech when he purchased the ‘Majorelle Gardens’ during 1980 that had belonged to the French artist Jacques Majorelle. The gardens represent everything that is Moroccan with lush palms, fountains and splashes of vivid blue paint, pots and tiles adding a rich array of colour.

    If you’re requiring accommodation whilst in Marrakech, I highly recommend this boutique hotel Riad Orangeraie – take a look at what’s on offer. It looks simply divine.

    This ‘Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guide of Marrakech’ will set you in the right direction to see all the grand sites of this exotic city.
