Walk the hillside kilns where Safi's ceramicists have thrown and fired ochre-glazed pottery for generations — a working craft district, not a museum piece.
What to expect
You climb the potters' hill above the port, passing open-air kilns stacked with unfired clay and workshops where families have worked for generations. Artisans invite you to watch throwing and hand-painting, and you can commission a piece or buy straight from the source at a fraction of gallery prices.
Good to know
Best visited mid-morning when kilns are firing and light is good for photos. It's a 15-20 minute walk or short taxi from the port; go with a guide the first time to navigate respectfully and negotiate fairly.
