Shrob ou shouf fountain, Public fountain in the medina, Marrakesh, Morocco
The Shrob ou shouf fountain features a wooden cedar crown with a honeycomb design and green roof tiles near the Ben Youssef Madrasa.
The construction of this water source dates to the Saadian period between 1578 and 1603, during Sultan Ahmad al-Mansur's governance of Morocco.
The lintel contains Arabic inscriptions praising God, while its name translates to 'drink and look' in the local language.
The fountain stands near the Musée de l'Art de Vivre and remains accessible through guided tours of the Marrakesh medina.
A wooden bar at the entrance originally separated human access from animals, maintaining the purity of the water distribution system.
