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 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.

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.

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!

I had the most unforgettable experience traveling through Morocco from May 22 to 30, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible team at Zicasso's travel company. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully curated and exceptionally executed.
A huge thank you to my agent, who was not only responsive and patient during the planning process, but also served as my guide for the city and food tour. His knowledge of Moroccan culture, history, and hidden gems made each day meaningful and memorable. From navigating the medinas to introducing me to some of the best local dishes I’ve ever tasted, he brought the country to life with warmth and insight.
And then there was my amazing driver, who truly went above and beyond. When my luggage was delayed, he jumped into action without hesitation, reassuring me with calm and kindness, ensuring I was comfortable and even helping to coordinate efforts on the ground to locate my bags. Beyond that, his genuine hospitality, great conversation, and thoughtful surprises made each leg of the journey special. He was much more than a driver; he was a steady and essential part of the experience.
If you’re looking for a company that provides not only beautiful itineraries, but also incredible service, with heart and humanity, this is it. This trip fed my soul and it was made extraordinary by the people who brought it to life.
