You will be collected from your hotel at about 8am to head out across the Saiss Plateau through pleasant rolling countryside and with the Middle Atlas Mountains beckoning in the distance.  The small hamlet of Bhalil which claims ancient Christian origins awaits.  The cobble stone streets and elegant stone bridges enhance the tranquil appeal, as women wash clothes and carpets in the communal basin or seasonal river, a world away from the hustle and bustle of Fez.  Your guide will lead you from here up a narrow winding path to some unique Troglodyte dwellings where some 40 families still live.  You will doubtless be invited in for some mint tea and to gain an even better insight into life in this unchanged way of life.  The tour then takes you further into the south-west for a 4km walk past limestone sinks and caves which were once home to prehistoric families.  Keep an eye out for buzzards, kestrels, eagles and rock doves amongst other rare birds before stopping at the Cascade Oued Aggai.  In Spring it is possible to sit in the natural pool or shower under pouring waters as a picnic lunch is prepared.  The attractive town of Sefrou, with its turrets and nine gateways, is the final stop where you may wish to barter in the bustling souq before boarding the minibus for the one hour drive back to Fes along the old caravan route.  You should expect to arrive back at your hotel at about 2.30; a great way to spend a morning.
