Sefrou & Bhalil Half-Day Trip
- Fes
- Bhalil Cave Houses
- Sefrou Old Town
- Fes
Our cheapest and most local trip
Our cheapest and most local day trip. Bhalil is known for its troglodyte cave houses, some still inhabited today, while Sefrou is a relaxed former capital famous for cherry orchards, pottery, and a walled medina that feels like a smaller, quieter Fes.
At roughly 3.5 hours round trip, this is a great budget add-on alongside a longer day trip or a few days exploring the Fes medina — it wraps up around lunchtime.

A great budget add-on
Since it wraps up around lunchtime, this pairs well with a free afternoon back in the Fes medina, or as a lower-cost alternative to a full-day trip.

Sefrou & Bhalil Questions
Are the Bhalil cave houses still lived in?
Some are — a few families still occupy homes built into the hillside, and guided visits are respectful, small-group affairs rather than intrusive tourism.
Is this trip good for a short stay in Fes?
Yes — at roughly 3.5 hours round trip, it's our shortest full excursion, ideal if you only have a day or two in Fes and want a taste of the wider region.
Can I buy pottery in Sefrou?
Yes, Sefrou has a small pottery-making tradition, and the guided stop usually includes a chance to see (and buy from) a local workshop.
