Detailed Description
Romance thrives in Morocco’s hidden places. Desert dunes envelop as you escape the world and lie beneath a starry sky. Ancient mountains and Berber kasbahs set the scene for a different solitude. Even in a city like Marrakech, you can immerse yourself in amorous scenes, such as a palace hotel that will make you feel like Sultan and Sultana. The country emanates mystique, and this mystery adds another layer to this ultimate one-week in Morocco for couples. Handcrafted with Morocco’s finest romantic retreats and an incredible variety of destinations, this is a week that is designed to be shared with your partner.
Morocco is not always portrayed as an overly romantic place. While it is true that holding hands on a city street will bring stares, the country is very different in public and private. In Essaouira, you will bask in exotic smells and sounds from a private rooftop hot tub. The High Atlas Mountains and Sahara Desert can completely disconnect you from your everyday schedule. You will even discover how Morocco’s preserves its secrets, especially for couples who are willing to venture beyond some of the country’s stereotypes.
Handpicked honeymoon-style accommodations are integral to this one-week Morocco itinerary. Your tour will begin in Essaouira, which is an enchanting coastal town that is home to exotic streets that glow with lanterns after dark. Small and easy to navigate, Essaouira is perfect for dipping your toes into Morocco before experiencing a larger city like Marrakech. On your second day, there will be Sufi drumming, a horseback ride across wild Atlantic beaches, and the sensual atmosphere of this off-the-beaten-path town.
For the next two days in Marrakech, you will be staying in a glorious palace hotel. During these two days, you will enjoy a hot air balloon ride above the city and exclusive experiences. Your final two days will feature exceptional solitude in breathtaking locations. You will have a night at a Berber suite in the High Atlas Mountains, and a night in the Saharan sand dunes. You can expect local activities that rekindle romantic versions of history, such as riding with a camel caravan to a private camp. You will have a week in Morocco, and by day seven, you will have experienced so many special places that are reserved just for two.

Our trip experience was A+++ from the planning stage through the actual trip. We enjoyed a curated trip and it was fabulous.
Our assigned driver, our driver, was a gem—courteous, thoughtful, professional, and an excellent ambassador for Morocco.
Zicasso’s travel specialist picked only four- to five-star hotels and riads for us. We enjoyed the quality of our accommodations and the professionalism of our various guides we were assigned for our visits to Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, the Sahara Desert, our desert camp, Aït Benhaddou kasbah, a night food tour in Marrakech, and Marrakech’s medina.
We feel like we experienced Morocco—the tagines, the call to prayer, the desert, the camel ride, the beautiful people, the lush and layered history, culture, and architecture, and the emergence of a new and modern Morocco. It was more than we expected, which makes it so special to us. We highly recommend the travel specialist!!!

Flawless doesn't begin to describe how incredible and meticulous the planning and taste that went into designing our Spain and Morocco trip. I reached out to Zicasso’s travel specialist far in advance, describing a dream vacation for my husband and me that included a near-impossible amount of locations to cover through both countries in only two weeks. We had tried coming up with an itinerary with another planner prior to meeting the travel specialist, but it did not work out. When we shared our vision with the travel specialist, he materialized it on paper in a way that made sense and even made adjustments that fit within our budget. We got to see every location with enough time to savor each.
The order of travel from Barcelona to Andalucía to Morocco was an intricate weave that told a story of cross-cultural exchange. We started off with Gaudí architecture and the Sagrada Família, sunsets at the Puente Nuevo, Alhambra, and Córdoba, marveled at the grandeur of the mosque cathedral, savored seafood paella and Picasso art in Málaga. We finished off road-tripping in Morocco, starting from the blue city of Chefchaouhen, continuing our journey through Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, Marrakech, and the Atlas Mountains. It was nothing short of magical.
We will never forget the beauty of the sun rising above the Atlas Mountains, private candlelit dinners on our private terrace in the riads, the colors of the souks, and the hospitality of our Moroccan hosts. Each riad was carefully selected and far exceeded our expectations. And of course, our driver in Morocco was an absolute delight and went above and beyond. Besides providing transportation, he acted as a friend who showed us the ins and outs, helping us see Morocco in a way that we would not have if we went in a large group or had chosen to come alone. Overall, my husband and I cannot recommend our travel specialist enough.

Every detail of the itinerary was amazing. Thanks to Zicasso’s travel agent. From our driver to the riad and hotel accommodations, and each location we visited (Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, the Atlas Mountains, a camel ride at sunset with glamping in the Sahara Desert, and Marrakech), we were partnered with a local guide who showed us magnificent sights and enriched our experience with historical information. Everything was beyond our expectations!
