Safi's location
Stretching out along the Atlantic in a bay fringed by cliffs, Safi 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.
Safi's potterry
The other draw in the city is its craftsmanship, in particular Safiot pottery, 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.

Treasures of Morocco Ceramic Collection:
Our ceramic collection is hand made and painted by craftsman located in Safi . Where the blue and yellow ceramics are reminders of the Portuguese occupation of certain Moroccan ports, while solid green recalls the much earlier Roman occupation. the many vivid colors increasingly made possible over the centuries by improved  technologies are entirely a Berber characteristic , of all the Islamic countries, Morocco alone boasts this rainbow palette.
