The village of Bhalil is easy to pass by, it is not on the main road, and really not on the beaten track of tourism in northern Morocco।But there are two clear reasons why you shouldn't miss out on it। First, it is a very charming village, with fairly well-kept houses, a seasonal river dividing it and covered with numerous bridges. When you climb up to the top, you will pass through the good parts of the Morocco that is about to disappear, where people work in the streets, making simple handicrafts or preparing crops of different kinds, all in a relaxed tone. The view from the top is beautiful, with a green valley and small hill tops.The other reason to come here is the main reason for most: The cave houses.

The cave houses in Bhalil stand next to ordinary "over-ground" houses, and there is no other difference between them than practical ones. Digging into the cave allows good conditions for keeping a home cool in summer and keeping the worst cold out in winter.The facades of the cave houses can therefore be easy to pass by, they do about the same decor work and put up the same walls in front as for the "over-ground" houses. You will be invited in, say hello to family members who have no stressful relation to time
