Sefrou, Waterfall, Bahlili Cave

Service Description

Escape the beaten track with a day trip combining nature, heritage, and local traditions, discovering Sefrou, its refreshing waterfalls, and the Bhalil troglodyte caves. Located about thirty kilometers south of Fez, the city of Sefrou is often considered "Little Fez" for its understated charm and ancient walls. A former caravan crossroads and important spiritual center, it was long inhabited by a very influential Jewish community. Even today, its narrow streets, lively souks, and ancient gates bear witness to this rich and diverse past. A stroll through the medina of Sefrou allows you to admire its traditional architecture, fountains, and stone bridges, and gain an authentic glimpse of local life, far from the hustle and bustle of tourism. As you leave the town, follow the path along the wadi to reach the Sefrou waterfalls, a refreshing haven nestled in nature. Much loved by locals, these waterfalls offer a soothing setting for a nature break, photo ops, or a picnic by the water. During the snowmelt season, the flow is particularly impressive. Continue your day with a visit to the village of Bhalil, perched high above the mountains. This unique Berber village is famous for its troglodyte houses carved into the rock, some of which are still inhabited. Welcomed by the friendly locals, you might even have the chance to visit one of these caves and enjoy a mint tea in a timeless setting. The colorful streets of Bhalil, adorned with pottery and handcrafted fabrics, offer a peaceful and photogenic atmosphere, blending rural authenticity with centuries-old traditions. This day offers an immersion between Amazigh culture, refreshing nature and discovery of ancestral ways of life, just a stone's throw from Fez.
