After a hearty breakfast at 08:00 AM, we kick off our captivating 1 day trip from Fes to Sefrou. Nestled at the edge of the Middle Atlas mountain range, Sefrou lies just 30 kilometers (19 mi) southeast of Fes. As we explore this enchanting town, we’ll marvel at the scenic beauty of the river Oued Aggai, which meanders through the city, and behold the stunning Cascades waterfall, located about 1.5 kilometers (0.93 mi) west of Sefrou. The Wadi Aggai, a vital water source for the region, also adds to the area’s natural allure.

During our visit, we’ll have the opportunity to discover the historic Kef el-Moumen caves, housing ancient tombs, including one believed to be the resting place of Daniel. Additionally, we’ll visit the revered Lalla Rekia spring, renowned for its reputed ability to cure insanity. Sefrou is famed for its UNESCO-endorsed Cherry Festival, a cherished event held annually in June since its inception in 1920. This vibrant festival features a range of activities, including a captivating beauty contest, folk music performances, traditional Moroccan cuisine, exhilarating fantasia displays, and thrilling sporting events.

Sefrou is incredibly close! The drive takes only about 40 minutes each way. This makes it the absolute perfect day trip if you want to escape the busy medina of Fes but don't want to spend hours in a car.

 

The UNESCO-endorsed Cherry Festival typically takes place over three days in mid-June every year. If you happen to be visiting Fes during this time, we highly recommend taking this day trip to see the parades, music, and the crowning of the "Cherry Queen."

 

Not at all. The walk to the Cascades of Sefrou is quite short and very accessible. It is a lovely, shaded walk along the river, making it a great option for families or travelers looking for a relaxing stroll rather than a strenuous hike.
