Bhalil
This curious village, 5km from Sefrou, is worth a visit. It contains a number of troglodyte
houses (cave dwellings) built into the picturesque mountainside and picked out in pastel
hues of pink, yellow and blue. Some go so far as to utilise caves for the primary room of
the house. The result is a cool, spacious room, usually used as a salon, while bedrooms
and private areas are built above. A grand taxi from Sefrou to Bhalil costs Dh4.
