Beautiful Berbers in Sefrou













Sefrou is a gorgeous Berber village, home to one of Morocco’s largest Jewish communities. It is about 30k from Fes. I loved this village, it was not full of tourists, just the most lovely natured Berbers, a Moroccan people. They seem gentle and also friendly, I said ‘bonjour’ to heaps of people, and they smiled and said hello back. Some of the elder women have tattoos on their faces, a line on their chin and tip of nose, and between the eyebrows. The children are so giggly and friendly too, 3 small boys walked with me for a while and giggled a lot. While two of them were camera shy, the oldest boy was thrilled to pose for a picture and see himself on my camera. The Berbers eat a lot of soups made with lentils, beans, and…..hooves.
