Sefrou
Getting There
|
Sefrou Sefrou, an ancient walled town, is located at the foothills of the Middle Atlas. Until the 1950s, one third of the population was Jewish. Even before the coming of Islam, a Jewish-Berber town thrived here. There are seldom many tourists here, except for during the cherry festival in June. Its untouristy atmosphere, cooler air and well-preserved medina make it a very pleasant place to explore. The Mellah, or Jewish quarter, is also an interesting place to explore with its tall houses and tunneled streets. Sefrou is an excellent place to do some walking since it is usually cooler in the summer. There are refreshing spring above the town and at times, waterfalls.
