Over Deze Reis

Reis 140km noordwaarts langs de Atlantische kust naar Safi, Marokko's pottenbakkershoofstad en een stad met haar eigen Portugese koloniale geschiedenis die kan wedijveren met die van Essaouira. Terwijl Essaouira's medina beroemd is om houtwerk, domineert Safi het Marokkaanse keramiek—het kenmerkende blauw-witte aardewerk dat door het hele land te vinden is, ontstaat hier, vervaardigd van lokale klei met technieken die onveranderd zijn sinds de 16e eeuw.

Safi's geschiedenis loopt parallel met die van Essaouira: beide waren Portugese vestingen in de jaren 1500 (Safi werd bezet van 1508-1541), beide hebben massieve zeewaartse forten, en beide zijn werkende vissershavens. Maar terwijl Essaouira een kunstenaarskolonie werd, werd Safi een industrieel pottenbakkerscentrum. Het resultaat is een meer authentieke, minder toeristische ervaring waar je meester-pottenbakkers kunt zien werken in ateliers die het hele koninkrijk bevoorraden.

De rit naar het noorden volgt de ruige kustlijn door de Haha-regio, langs kleine vissersdorpjes en arganbossen. Safi's Kechla (Portugees fort), de Colline des Potiers (Pottenbakkersheuvel), en de levendige vismarkt maken dit een essentiële excursie voor geïnteresseerden in Marokkaanse ambachten, geschiedenis, of wie een minder gepolijst alternatief zoekt voor het Essaouira toeristische circuit.

Uw Reisschema

Een zorgvuldig geplande dag vanuit Essaouira. Uw ervaren chauffeur zorgt ervoor dat elk moment telt.

Vertrek Essaouira Noordwaarts

Rit noordwaarts over de N1 kustweg door de winderige Haha-regio.

Colline des Potiers (Pottenbakkersheuvel)

Aankomst bij Safi's beroemde pottenbakkerswijk. Bekijk meesterambachtslieden die klei draaien op traditionele wielen in grotwerkplaatsen uitgehouwen in de heuvelflank. Zie het hele proces van ruwe klei tot gebakken keramiek.

Keramiek Winkelen & Onderhandelen

Verken de heuvelflanklwinkels voor Safi's beroemde blauw-witte keramiek, tajines en decoratieve tegels. Prijzen aanzienlijk lager dan Marrakech of Essaouira omdat je direct bij de bron koopt.

Zeevruchten Lunch bij de Haven

Lunch bij Safi's werkende vissershaven—verse sardines, zeebrasem of pijlinktvis gegrild bij havendokstaltjes. Authentieke werkende haven sfeer.

Kechla Fort (Portugees)

Bezoek het massieve 16e-eeuwse Portugese fort (Kechla) met uitzicht op de Atlantische Oceaan. Vergelijkbaar met Essaouira's Skala maar minder gerestaureerd en meer sfeervol. Panoramisch oceaanzicht.

Safi Medina & Portugese Kathedraal

Wandel door Safi's compacte medina om de geruïneerde Portugese kathedraal (Dar el-Bahar) en de oude Portugese cisternen te zien.

Nationaal Keramiekmuseum (Optioneel)

Optioneel bezoek aan het Nationaal Museum van Keramiek in het Bastion de l'Ange, met historische stukken uit heel Marokko.

Terugkeer naar Essaouira

Rit zuidwaarts terug naar Essaouira langs de kust.

Aankomst Essaouira

Avond terugkeer in Essaouira.

Veelgestelde vragen

Veelgestelde vragen

Safi is Marokko's pottenbakkershoofstad—het kenmerkende blauw-witte keramiek dat door het hele land te vinden is wordt hier gemaakt. Kopen bij de bron betekent betere prijzen en authentiek vakmanschap.

Beide zijn Portugese veststeden, maar Safi is meer industrieel (pottenbakkersproductie) en minder toeristisch. Het biedt een authentieke, werkende stad sfeer vergeleken met Essaouira's gepolijste toeristische aantrekkingskracht.

Tajines (kookpotten), decoratieve borden, kommen en tegels. De blauw-witte patronen zijn klassieke Safi-stijl. Prijzen zijn 30-50% goedkoper dan in Marrakech of Essaouira winkels.

“Excellent Experience with Ismail and Private Driver Morocco! We had a wonderful experience with Private Driver Morocco during our October trip. Our group of five spent five nights traveling with Ismail from Fez through the Sahara Desert, Dades Gorge, and Skoura, ending in Marrakech. From our initial contact, the company was professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They were also very helpful in suggesting the best route for our trip, taking into account the places we wanted to visit. The pricing was very reasonable, and the Mercedes Vito van was comfortable and spacious, easily accommodating all five of us and our luggage. Ismail was an excellent driver — professional, responsible, and highly skilled behind the wheel. With the long distances, winding mountain roads, and varied terrain, we always felt safe and comfortable. Beyond his excellent driving, Ismail was knowledgeable about the regions we traveled through. He shared interesting information about the history and local culture, pointed out places of interest along the way, and suggested opportunities to stop and explore. This made the journeys between destinations an enjoyable part of our trip rather than simply transportation. Ismail also interacted easily with all five of us, striking a nice balance between being friendly and engaging while remaining professional. His easygoing manner made spending so much time together on the road a pleasure. We highly recommend both Ismail and Private Driver Morocco. From the thoughtful route planning and responsive communication to the comfortable transportation and excellent driving, everything was handled beautifully. We would gladly use their services again!”

“We paid for 3 drivers to 3 separate cities over a 9 day period. All the drivers were very nice and accommodating. For people who did not know Morocco at all, this could have been very stressful, but we put our trust in OPDM who was communicative and responsive and made everything run smooth and stress free. We found the price to be reasonable as well.”

“Very positive and highly recommended experience all around! this was our first trip to Morocco and we didn't know what to expect. Ali, our driver, provided exceptional service throughout the journey in Morocco. Ali was always remarkably punctual and dependable, he navigated every route with ease while sharing rich, engaging knowledge about local history, culture, and hidden gems along the way. Above all, Ali's genuine respect and warmth made our trip feel completely safe, comfortable, and deeply enjoyable.”

Their drivers are well-trained, courteous, punctual, and very knowledgeable about Morocco. I have been using private drivers in Morocco for quite some time, but this is the first company I have encountered that provides such a high level of service. The vehicles are comfortable and well-maintained, and the entire experience is smooth, reliable, and stress free. I will definitely use them again!”

“I used this agency for intercity travel during my 9-day trip to Morocco. I selected this agency after comparing it with others because communication was quick and efficient. Tangier-Casablanca Casablanca-Marrakech Fez-Chefchaouen Chefchaouen-Tangier-Mer Port As a family of seven, I was worried about transportation, but thanks to this agency, we were able to travel comfortably and safely. The drivers arrived on time, were well-mannered, and communicated in English, which was great. I highly recommend them.”

“We used Official Morocco Private Driver for three different legs of our trip through Morocco — Casablanca to Fez, Fez to Chefchaouen, and Chefchaouen to Tangier — and the experience was excellent from start to finish. We were a group of seven travelling together (six adults and one child), with ages ranging from 2 to over 80, so coordinating transportation could have been stressful. This company made everything incredibly easy. Communication through WhatsApp was prompt and organized the entire time. There was always someone available to answer questions, confirm details, and make sure we had everything we needed. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for both our group and all of our luggage. I had requested a baby car seat for every transfer, and it was always there without fail, which we really appreciated. All of the drivers were polite, punctual, helpful, and safe drivers. Along the way they offered recommendations for places to stop for lunch and helped make the longer travel days much more enjoyable and relaxed. Overall, this service removed so much of the stress from planning transportation logistics for a large family group. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone travelling through Morocco.”

“We relied on this company for our week-long tour of the imperial cities. From the first contact, the company stood out for its efficiency and courtesy. A heartfelt thanks to our driver, Mr. Ali, who, with his impeccable work, kindness, and great professionalism, managed to connect Casablanca, Marrakech, Fez, Meknes, and Rabat with the attention you'd give a family member or dear friend. Thank you so much!”

“We had Shakib as our private driver for our trip and he was the best ever. He provided a level of service that was truly exceptional and one of a kind! He is so genuine, kind and pure hearted, and wanted to ensure everyone had a great time. He was punctual to every single event on our itinerary and did everything with a smile! Even helping us with tasks outside of just transport, where we would need the knowledge of a local, he went above and beyond to ensure our trip ran smoothly. Anyone who manages to have Shakib as a driver is so lucky and I will always recommend him to anyone coming to Marrakech”

“I had an absolutely incredible experience in Morocco (Marrakech), and a huge part of that was thanks to Chakib, my private driver and personal tour guide. From start to finish, he was nothing short of spectacular. His knowledge of the area was outstanding—he didn’t just take me to places, he brought them to life with stories, history, and local insight that made everything more meaningful. Beyond that, his personality made the entire trip even better. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure I had the best experience possible. What really stood out was how comfortable and at ease he made me feel. It felt less like a service and more like traveling with a friend who truly wanted me to enjoy every moment. He went above and beyond in every way. If you’re planning a trip to Morocco, I can’t recommend Chakib enough. He turned a great trip into an unforgettable one.”

“We (3 couples) used this service for a 13 day trip from Rabat to Marrakech to Skoura. The Sprinter was clean, new and comfortable. We were glad that we had use of the vehicle for the entire trip and not point to point. The cost was very reasonable. Chakib was our driver and guide. He was wonderful and very helpful. He was always at our service and very helpful. We recommend Chakib and this service without reservation.”

“Sehr professioneller Service von Anfang an. Antwort erfolgt innert kürzester Zeit per Whatsapp. Grossartige Hilfe bei der Planung, flexibel und spontan bei Änderungen. Unser Fahrer Walid und sein stets hilfsbereiter und freundlicher Service, war eine grossartige Bereicherung auf unserer Rundreise. Walid hat uns von A-Z und mehr einen Top Service geboten. Auch der Fahrer, der uns zum Flughafen gebracht hat war sehr freundlich und pünktlich. Einziger Minuspunkt war der Komfort im Auto. Der Geländewagen, Toyota Landcruiser, eignet sich für Tagesausflüge mit 4 Passagiere. Für eine 10 Tägige Rundreise, sollte der Wagen grösser mit mehr Konfort für 4 Passagiere sein. Danke für alles. Sandra, Manuel, Beni & Jolanda”

“This is a very professional service. I recommend it for group travel. The communication was excellent right from the beginning and our itinerary went to plan all 4 days. Abdul our driver had great recommendations from Quad biking to dinner restaurants. He knows it all- very reliable. We felt safe and well taken care of. The Sprinter was clean, comfortable and fully air conditioned. I never really leave reviews but for this service I had to. The customer service we received made our days even more memorable. Thank you once again”
