Detailed Description

It is easy to be enchanted by the Old World ambiance of Morocco. Marketplaces glow with a medley of spices and ancient city gates that once provided protection now offer a unique view of the meandering city streets. Luxurious rugs line shop walls and the aroma of traditional cuisine drifts out of restaurants and homes alike. This 15-day tour of Morocco takes you beyond the country’s beautiful surface and into the marvels of the persevering heritage. From desert castles to opulent palaces, your Moroccan adventure will flourish with luster.

Your custom tailored tour, arranged by one of Zicasso's Morocco travel agents, begins with your arrival in Casablanca. Your private guide and transfer meet you at the airport and escort you through the city en route to the modern capital of Rabat. The relaxed pace but historic streets provide early insight into the country’s unique combination of contemporary life and celebrated heritage. Make your way to Tangier, located on the Strait of Gibraltar, across from Spain. The city is separated into the modern and the antique, both showing a different side of the famous city, from bustling markets to an energetic port.

Chefchaouen is located in the mountains and glows with sky blue coloration. The peaceful city has a thriving culture based on traditional crafts. Make your way to Fez, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its medieval architecture and craftsmen culture. Journey through scenic cedar forests and across the Middle Atlas Mountains to the desert town of Erfoud where a 4x4 takes you into the Sahara Desert to view the breathtaking sand dunes at Erg Chebbi. Enjoy the sunset, starlight, and sunrise over the exquisite landscape. Make your way through the oasis around the Ziz Valley and visit the desert villages encircled by powerful walls. The towns are almost camouflaged by their coloration standing against the desert landscape. Witness Berber Villages and roads that wind around the gorge before arriving in Marrakech. The city ignites the connection to this captivating culture.

The medina erupts with activity and legendary stories. The High Atlas Mountains contain small villages and a Kasbah with exceptional views of the surrounding landscape: from lush sloping foothills to rugged purple mountaintops. At the seaside town of Essaouira, you find ancient fortifications with a bohemian ambiance. With a day at leisure you can horseback ride along the beach or windsurf. You can even go wine tasting at a local, celebrated vineyard. Return to Casablanca and enjoy your final day along La Corniche or meandering along the opulent art galleries. Your private transfer escorts you to the airport for your flight, but the magic of your Moroccan adventure continues.

Spain 25th Anniversary Tour Review: Madrid, Sevilla, Ronda,...

I'm not sure it's possible to be any more satisfied with the service provided by the Zicasso travel partner's team.

Ahead of the trip, our travel designer was in constant contact, by phone and email. In terms of the itinerary and the logistics/preparation for the trip, we discussed the right locations, iterated on the excursions, and ultimately planned out a wonderful holiday in celebration of our 25th wedding anniversary. He listened (for example, that we wanted more food experiences vs wine), suggested (for example, Segovia vs Toledo, Nerja vs Marbella), and coordinated all of the details.

And our concierge was amazing once we were on the ground. Coordinating with drivers and guides (especially since our inbound flight was delayed), making suggestions for restaurants and booking reservations, and providing guidance for myriad logistical situations (for example, the best route to take while driving from Sevilla to Ronda).

The travel company's team really delivered for us and we cannot thank them enough for our incredible Spain experience!

Morocco Vacation Review: Marrakech, Chefchaouen, Rabat,...

Our trip to Morocco was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Our driver was excellent and an excellent companion throughout the journey—reliable, friendly, and always helpful.

The guided tour through the medina in Marrakech with our guide was a standout experience, especially with the bonus of dining at a fantastic restaurant he recommended. Two major highlights of the trip were the unforgettable hot-air balloon ride and our magical night in the desert.

Although our time in Casablanca was brief, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Our guide in Rabat was knowledgeable and made the experience engaging and informative. We ended our trip in the stunning town of Chefchaouen, where another guide provided an exceptional tour—he was informative and passionate about his city.

The accommodations were perfect at every stop, and we truly appreciated the welcome gifts and meals provided by Zicasso's travel specialist and his team. Their attention to detail made all the difference.

I would highly recommend him and his company to anyone planning a trip to Morocco. It was an unforgettable experience that I will be sharing with friends and family for years to come.

Morocco Vacation Review: Casablanca, Fes, Marrakech, 9 Nights...

If you are looking for a white-glove, red-carpet experience, Zicasso's tour planner and his company are your go-to. He created an amazing itinerary that fit our budget. He was terrific with communication and follow-up. The minute we set foot in Morocco, his team was there, ready to go. They were 10 to 15 minutes early every day. We traveled through four cities, with wonderful stops, sights, commentary, and tours.

Our tour guide first introduced himself as the fixer. I was wary. Four days later, it proved true. He saved me and my dresses. I left my dresses in the Casablanca hotel room. Five hours later, I discovered the "Oh no!". Our guide hopped on the phone, called the hotel numerous times, contacted several colleagues, and found someone to drive my dresses three hours to our Marrakech hotel. The dresses arrived by noon the next day.

Most of all, our tour planner created and delivered a magical, memorable experience, without mishap. My 80-year-old mother said it was the best vacation she's ever taken. We are truly grateful.

Morocco Vacation Review: Marrakech, Merzouga, Fes, Chefchaouen,...

We had the most amazing time in Morocco, thanks to our wonderful Zicasso trip planners. From the very beginning of the planning stages, our agents were not only super-accommodating, but provided great ideas to make our trip as special as could be!

Once we landed, our guide and driver made sure we were comfortable throughout our trip. We visited Marrakech, Merzouga, Fes, and Chefchaouen. Each of these destinations were special in their own way and we had amazing tours in the medinas, visited gardens and museums, had a cooking class and, of course, a wonderful night in the desert.

None of this could have been possible without the expertise of the entire team at the travel agency. The logistics were impeccable, the hotels so beautiful, and suggestions for shopping and meals were perfect as well!

We cannot thank the team enough for such a special experience and we hope to work with them in the future! Thank you so much!
