Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Safi?
The best areas to stay in Safi are within or very close to the old medina, particularly around the Dar el Bahar and the Portuguese Sea Castle.

This central area is the heart of Safi, offering a glimpse into its rich history. The medina is a labyrinth of narrow alleyways and bustling souks, leading to historical landmarks like the Kechla (the Portuguese Sea Castle) and the Dar el Bahar fortress, which overlooks the Atlantic. This district is very walkable and provides direct access to local crafts, particularly pottery, for which Safi is renowned.

For visitors interested in experiencing the authentic culture and history of Safi, staying within the medina itself or just outside its walls is ideal. You'll be steps away from the daily life of the city, traditional eateries, and artisan workshops, making it great for those who enjoy exploring on foot and discovering local treasures.

Couples looking for a more relaxed stay with ocean views might consider hotels along the coastline just north or south of the medina. These typically offer modern amenities and direct access to the beach, while still being a short walk or taxi ride from the historic centre.
