This pretty
house in a quiet street has five bedrooms, each with a bathroom, and a lovely courtyard
that's traditionally decorated. Jamila can provide dinner (Dh132) and even a picnic basket
(Dh44) if you're heading into the hills.
CHERRY FESTIVAL
Sefrou is a sleepy place on the whole, except in mid-June when the annual
Cherry Festival
(Festival
des Cerises;
www.festival-cerises-sefrou.com
)
fills the streets for four days to celebrate the local
cherry harvest. There's plenty of folk music, along with displays by local artists, parades,
fantasias
and sports events, as well as the crowning of the Cherry Queen. Sefrou lays claim to the longest-run-
ning town festival in Morocco - it celebrated its 90th year in 2010.
Eating & Drinking
There's a string of cafes and a bar along Blvd Mohammed V, all fairly masculine places to
drink coffee. There are a few cheap eats with soup, kebabs and tajines in the medina.
MOROCCAN

Restaurant Farah
(Haddadine Sq; meals about Dh30; 11am-9pm)
The best of the bunch is the Restaurant Farah.
It doesn't have its name outside, but it's easy to find opposite the knife-grinders and
blacksmith with his fiery anvil (
Haddadine
means ironmongers). Here you can enjoy de-
licious spit-roast chicken with harissa for dipping, spiced chickpeas or
loubia
(beans),
chips, bread and salad.
