Alliance Française de Safi – X20 Cultural Space

## A cultural venue beyond its primary role The **Alliance Française de Safi**, on Boulevard Mohamed Zerktouni, combines language education with cinema, visual art, youth workshops, literary gatherings and civic discussions. It also runs **Espace X20**, a multipurpose facility for **culture, coworking and media-library activities** that, according to the organisation, offers **more than 4,000 books**. Its public mission is therefore broader than language classes alone, connecting students, families, artists and local associations through shared cultural experiences. ## The 2026 cultural programme Its **October 2026** programme features creative workshops, youth film screenings and a **reading club** using the media library and the digital Culturethèque platform, alongside educational and discussion-based activities. X20 youth sessions are advertised on **Wednesdays and Saturdays**, and some are **restricted to registered members**. During 2025 and spring 2026 the institution also staged theatre workshops, public-speaking competitions, cinema events and environmental initiatives. Audience admission varies by activity and should never be assumed to be universally free. ## Place in the local cultural landscape The Alliance is institutionally distinct from the **Cité des Arts et de la Culture de Safi** and **Maison de la Culture Kaouki**, already documented on Culturama. The French contact page lists public reception **Tuesday–Friday 9 am–6:30 pm and Saturday 9 am–5 pm**. However, the operator's Arabic page shows a different breakdown, so it is best to confirm arrival times by telephone. Cultural-event schedules, registration conditions and membership requirements follow their own published notices. ## Planning a visit - **Address:** Boulevard Mohamed Zerktouni, Safi 46000, Maroc, Morocco - **Telephone:** +212 524 62 79 46 - **Website or information:** [https://if-maroc.org/safi/](https://if-maroc.org/safi/) - **Opening:** French site lists Tue–Fri 9 am–6:30 pm and Sat 9 am–5 pm; Arabic timetable differs, so confirm directly. - **Before visiting:** check booking and admission conditions, particularly for screenings and workshops. ## More cultural venues on Culturama [Cité des Arts et de la Culture de Safi](/institutions/cite-arts-culture-safi) · [Maison de la Culture Kaouki](/institutions/maison-culture-kaouki-safi) ## Editorial sources and photograph [if-maroc.org](https://if-maroc.org/safi/contact-acces/) · [if-maroc.org](https://if-maroc.org/safi/evenements/octobre-2026-a-lalliance-francaise-de-safi-un-mois-dapprentissage-de-creation-et-dengagement/) · [if-maroc.org](https://if-maroc.org/safi/evenements/activites-jeunesse-octobre-2026/) *Image credit: Alliance française de Safi — photographie institutionnelle devant l'Espace X20, droits à confirmer.*
