Stretching out along the Atlantic in a bay fringed by cliffs, Safi – ancient city of the sea is located between El Jadida and Essaouira. Blessed with 120 kilometers of beach with a string of pristine coves, high lying reefs and sought after surfing spots. According to historians, Safi slips easily onto the list of the most ancient cities in Morocco.
The other draw in the city is its craftsmanship, Safiot pottery in particular, is an art from that has given the city its exquisite edge. The founding in 1920 or so of a Ceramics School and pilot workshop by Master Craftman has lead to a gradual renaissance in Safiot pottery since then.
