Sefrou
The small Berber town of Sefrou, just 30km southeast of Fez, is a picturesque place situ-
ated on the edge of the Middle Atlas. It has a small but interesting medina that was desig-
nated a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2013. As such, the medina walls have been restored
and some funduqs are being rebuilt. Sefrou once hosted one of Morocco's largest Jewish
communities (as many as 8000 people, according to some accounts), and it was here that
Moulay Idriss II lived while overseeing the building of Fez. It's an easy day trip from Fez,
ideal if you need to escape the big city.
