In the northern part of the city, you'll find the "Quartier des Potiers", the ancient potter's quarter full of artisans devoted to keeping this tradition going.
During my last visit, I was so impressed by a young man who creates the most beautiful decorated black ceramics pieces.
He has a small shop in Safi's "Potter's Quarter" where he crafts unique and sophisticated Moroccan pottery. I found his style to be innovative and traditional at once.
Each piece is crafted with the utmost care and precision,... down to the last dot or groove.

Safi is the main fishing port for the country's sardine industry, and also exports phosphates, textiles and ceramics. During the Second World War, Safi was one of the landing sites for Operation Torch.
