🇲🇦 Marrakech
As-salamu alaykum / Bonjour
The Yeltsin Centre is one of the most architecturally striking and intellectually honest presidential museums anywhere — Boris Yeltsin was born near Ekaterinburg and the museum unflinchingly documents the Soviet collapse and chaotic 1990s. Even with no interest in Russian history, the building and interactive exhibits are extraordinary.
Bargaining in the souks is mandatory — start at 30% of asking price.
🇷🇺 Ekaterinburg Fun Fact
Ekaterinburg straddles the Europe–Asia continental boundary — there is a literal obelisk monument marking the divide just 17 km from the city centre. The city is also where Tsar Nicholas II, Tsarina Alexandra, and all five of their children were executed in a basement by Bolshevik guards on the night of 16–17 July 1918, ending the 300-year Romanov dynasty.
🇲🇦 Marrakech Fun Fact
The University of Al-Qarawiyyin in nearby Fez, founded 859 AD, is the world's oldest continuously operating university.
