A walk around Safi at night is not a lonely one. While so many other Moroccan cities have a tendency of dying quickly after sunset, Safi goes on deep into the night.
The artificial and sparse light helps new contours and colours to stand out, while they might be turned almost invisible from the strong sun light during day time.
Snails in hot soup — delicious (keep you warm in some cold nights!!!) You find this all around Morocco, and it is a great snack, and it only cost 5 dh. you find also a creamy dairy paste, slightly similar to yoghurt, but sweeter. This is another Moroccan speciality, and you buy it in tiny grocery stores at a great price of 2 dh.
Dress Code: warm clodes are advised in some cold nights.

The city it self is charming, with an old city very much alive. Here you might be tempted to buy pottery ,wrough iron, ...handmade seeing all shapes and patterns in a lot of shops, but then you are in one of the best places in Morocco. There are plenty of opportunities to walk around and look at people working on their pottery. When you have been in places like Moulay Idriss you will have seen the beautiful covering on the roofs, made out of green tiles. Safi is the place where these are produced.
What to buy: pottery articles,wrough iron,fresh fish and sardines,handmade articles....
What to pay: hand made craft in safi are really too cheap due to the cheap life in Safi.

the bride have a ceremonial purification milk bath before a ritual henna painting of her hands and feet. Originally, this purification and painting was the wedding ceremony in Arab lands some 200 years ago. Modern Morrocan brides continue this tradition by annointing the palm of guests with a unique smear, called the henna.
In the late afternoon or early evening, simultaneous parties are held at the home of the bride and the groom. The two families and their guests celebrate well into the night with a feast, music and dancing. Sometime after midnight, the groom leaves his home and proceeds to the home of the bride. He is accompanied by his guests, as they sing, beat drums and dance.

Helpfulness
Favorite thing: Safi (ancient Asfi), seaport, western Morocco, on the Atlantic Ocean. It is a centre for the fishing industry
of Morocco and also for the export of phosphates. Pottery is manufactured. Safi is a compactly built, fortified city dominated by a 16th-centuryruined castle of the sultans. The city was held by the Portuguese until 1541. Subsequently it came under French control until Morocco became an
independent nation in 1956.
Fondest memory: The old city of Safi is one of the two hearts of Safi — about one kilometre the centre of the new centre is, and in between the two there is fairly little going on.
The old city is apparently not the place of the people with money, but the little Safi has of tourist traffic is staged here, in between the ceramic shops that try to sell as much to as good a price as possible .
