Detailed Description
Morocco is magical. An eclectic blend of aromas floats alongside the sounds of an ancient souk, storytellers continue their tradition on an old-world square, and Sufi drummers create a rhythmic connection to another world. Morocco is a country that enchants at every glance, from old cities to the vibrant collection of landscapes. From the Sahara Desert to green oases and from walled cities to Atlantic Ocean rooftops, you can experience all the highlights on this best of Morocco one-week tour.
Private guides will lead the way, and you will stay at some of the country’s finest accommodations, including artisanal riads, which are palace-style hotels. The focus of this tour is on experiencing different destinations, not just seeing the iconic sites. With this one-week tour, you will live the history in some of the world’s most exotic and best-preserved places.
To begin your tour, you will fly to Casablanca, where you can have a quiet first night. Rabat is a lovely little stop en route to two nights in Meknes, which is the most artistic of Morocco’s four imperial capitals. Meknes is laid-back and incredibly authentic, so it makes for a nice contrast to Fes. Of course, you will visit the world’s largest walled city of Fes along with all its charming souks. Returning to Meknes is ideal because you can gain a more authentic impression of Morocco’s art.
From Meknes, you will fly to the Sahara for a 24-hour desert experience, featuring a camel journey into the dunes and a luxurious camp beneath the stars. From here, you will fly to Marrakech for two nights in a palace hotel. Nearby Essaouira will be your final stop. Essaouira is a delightful coastal town, where you can have a Sufi experience and reflect on your one week in Morocco.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Marrakech on a trip perfectly planned by my Zicasso's travel agent, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Every detail was carefully arranged, which made the entire journey seamless and stress-free.
From the moment I arrived, the transfers and accommodations were smooth and well-organized. The riad chosen for my stay was stunning—full of authentic Moroccan charm, warm hospitality, and ideally located for exploring the city. The guided tours were thoughtfully curated, offering a perfect balance of history, culture, and hidden gems I might not have discovered on my own. Highlights included wandering the lively souks, visiting the Majorelle Garden, and experiencing the breathtaking Atlas Mountains on a day trip.
What impressed me most was the personalized touch. The itinerary allowed enough flexibility to enjoy spontaneous moments, while still ensuring I saw the must-visit spots. The restaurant recommendations were spot on, from traditional Moroccan tagines to rooftop dining with spectacular views of the medina.
Thanks to my travel agent’s expertise, I felt cared for every step of the way. I could simply relax and immerse myself in the beauty, colors, and energy of Marrakech without worrying about logistics.
I would absolutely recommend this travel service to anyone planning a trip to Morocco—you’ll not only see Marrakech, but you’ll truly experience it.

We had an absolutely incredible experience with Zicasso's trip coordinator and the travel company. From the very beginning, our trip coordinator was extremely thorough in the planning process—he listened carefully to what we wanted, accommodated every request, and was always flexible and willing to make adjustments along the way. He thoughtfully considered the wide range of ages in our group (from 11 to 87!) and tailored the trip to ensure everyone was comfortable and fully able to enjoy the journey.
During our nine days in Morocco, our guide was outstanding. He took extra-special care of us—his knowledge of Morocco’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the trip enriching and memorable. On top of that, he was a very safe driver and always attentive to our needs and the little details that made the experience seamless.
We could not have asked for a better team to guide us through Morocco. This travel agent and the travel company made this a once-in-a-lifetime trip for our family and we recommend them without hesitation!

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!

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.
