When arriving from Fez, you will discover at the entrance of Sefrou on the left the walls of the city, with a built-in impressive gate : it’s the main access to the city. That small white city at the foot of the Atlas was already important in the 12th century thanks to its location between Fez and the Tafilalet. It became even more important in the 14th century with the influx of Jews from Algeria. 

The Mellah, which survived for six hundred years, is as wide as the rest of the old city, with Oued Aggaï running through it, spanned by several arched bridges and which changes into cool waterfalls at the city’s borders. The city is surrounded with orchards whose cherries are well-known. The Cherries Festival is held in June along with colorful folk events. 

Oued Aggaï waterfalls: The city’s residents come here for a nice stroll, looking for cool during the hot season.
