We decided, as part of our trip to visit Rabat, the capital city of Morocco and see somewhere off the main trail of tourist spots.

On Wednesday when we got to the hotel, it was fairly late, but we'd not eaten so we went up to the hotel restaurant for dinner and we got a bit of a show from a belly dancer who was working that evening.

In 2014, I packed up my 5D Mark III and a selection of lenses and headed off to Marrakech to see this ancient North African city of bazaars, mosques and modernity.

When I think back to my childhood trip to Agadir, the memories are filled with the warmth and charm of this coastal Moroccan city. Our beach holiday was nothing short of magical in the way only early childhood memories can be, with endless days spent on the golden sands, where the sun was always hot and the sky, a brilliant blue.
