Discover the Magic of Marrakesh–Safi– Empowering Artisans Through Jihatona

A Region of Timeless Beauty and Resilience

Marrakesh–Safi is one of Morocco’s most iconic regions, known for its vibrant cities, rugged landscapes, and deep-rooted traditions.
Home to over 4.5 million people (2014 census), the region is anchored by Marrakesh, often called the “Red City,” and known worldwide for its buzzing souks, historic medina, and breathtaking palaces.

Formed in September 2015 by merging the old Marrakech–Tensift–El Haouz region with Asfi and Youssoufia provinces, Marrakesh–Safi is today a symbol of Morocco’s cultural richness and resilience — especially after facing a devastating earthquake in 2023, which tested but did not break the spirit of its people.


Geography That Inspires Artistry

  • The Atlas Mountains: Towering peaks and Berber villages.

  • The Atlantic Coastline: Featuring historic port cities like Safi, known for its ceramics.

  • The fertile Haouz Plain: Sustaining agriculture and traditional crafts.

This variety of landscapes has nurtured centuries of authentic craftsmanship, from pottery and rug weaving to leatherwork and silver jewelry.


A Living Heritage

Marrakesh–Safi is a living museum of Moroccan arts and crafts:

  • Hand-knotted rugs from the Atlas Mountains.

  • Traditional Safi pottery, famous across the world.

  • Intricate leatherwork, especially in Marrakesh’s tanneries.

  • Silver jewelry and textile weaving reflecting Berber traditions.

Each piece carries a story — a story of resilience, creativity, and ancestral pride.
