Sefrou

Small medina · cherry festival · Bhalil cave dwellings — the real Morocco 30 minutes from Fez

Highlights

• Intimate Medina & Mellah: Small but surprisingly complete medina with a well-preserved Jewish quarter (mellah) and covered souks
• Cherry Festival (May–June): Annual Festival des Cerises — parades, dance, music and the harvest of the famous Sefrou cherries celebrated throughout the village
• Cave Dwellings of Bhalil: 6 km away lies Bhalil — a village partly carved into the rock; residents live partially in cave dwellings
