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.

The custom trip and itinerary were developed by Zicasso’s travel company and they made numerous recommendations for exploring, starting in Spain, in Madrid, and continuing down to numerous Andalusian cities, including Seville, Granada, Gibraltar, Málaga, and Córdoba.
Not only was the itinerary prepared with great detail and consideration, but every effort was taken to ensure the lodging requested met five-star requirements. Drivers and guides were assigned to us at all of our destinations, and this included airport arrivals and departures. Drivers and guides were not only punctual, they were personable and extremely knowledgeable, with decades of experience.
Our trip continued to Morocco, where we flew into Casablanca from Málaga. Again, airport connections were perfect and we had VIP arrival service on landing. Our driver and guide were aligned with us for the week we spent between Oualidia and Marrakech. Lodging was exceptional and our expectations were certainly exceeded.
Furthermore, the travel company made it a point to communicate with us openly over WhatsApp, answering the few questions we had in a prompt manner and checking in with us throughout the trip.
This is the first time I have 100% used a travel company and I could not have been more pleased with the delivery of the trip and the overall cost.

We just completed our amazing trip to Marrakech and Portugal… this trip exceeded our expectations. We (six of us—three couples) have so many memories from this trip; ones we will cherish for a long time.
First, we want to especially thank our travel specialist. Thank you—you made our trip the best.
Highlights included having every transfer smooth and on time, and every guide we had during the trip was super-engaged and informative.
All six of us highly recommend the travel company and our travel specialist in particular. We will definitely utilize this travel company again!

The trip was very enjoyable. Zicasso’s travel specialist was very responsive to changes during the trip. It was long and the boys got tired, so we were adding and subtracting activities daily.

Our 10-day trip to Morocco through Zicasso’s travel company was everything we hoped for and more. Our travel specialist, his staff, and particularly our driver, met our expectations and beyond. Our accommodations, made at their suggestion, were extraordinary. Our guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We felt truly pampered and were personally cared for from the moment we met our driver at the airport until we sadly said "goodbye."

Our driver was spectacular—professional, caring, appropriately protective, and a fabulous driver. Conversation was fun, easy, interesting, and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed his company.
Local guides were amazingly knowledgeable—a much higher quality than other guides we observed.
Dinner with a local host and her husband was terrific. We recommend this experience with them.
Our riad in Morocco was five stars—a cooking class there would be amazing (also our villa in Morocco).
Our desert camp in Morocco was superb because no one else was there and it was isolated from other camps, and we were alone on our camel ride. The food was awful.
