Safi (Arabic: آسفي, romanized: ʾāsafī) is a city in western Morocco on the Atlantic Ocean.

[2] Safi is the main fishing port for the country's sardine industry, and also exports phosphates, textiles and ceramics.

He based this claim on a strange story about some sailors from al-Andalus who sailed to discover the other end of the Atlantic Ocean but got lost and landed on some island where the natives captured them and sent them back on their ships blindfolded.

The ships eventually ended on the shores of "Safi" and locals helped the lost sailors and told them that they were two months away from their native land al-Andalus.

[4] According to Moroccan historian Mohammed al-Kanuni, Safi can be identified with the ancient Thymiaterium or Carcunticus that was founded by the Carthaginian admiral Hanno during his Periplus, as related by Pliny the Elder.

Louis De Chénier, consul of the French court in Morocco in 1767, reported that the city was the only usable seaport at the time.

In the early 20th century, the Moroccan potter Boujemâa Lamali established a pottery school in Safi, supported by the colonial administration.

There also is a little Tennis Sport Club with a couple of fields (following the high road, beyond the Colline des Poitiers).
