Funduq al-Najjariyyin, Historic inn and wood crafts museum in Medina of Fez, Morocco.

The Funduq al-Najjariyyin features three floors arranged around a central courtyard with galleries decorated in intricate tilework and carved cedar wood patterns.

Built in 1711 under Sultan Ismail Ibn Sharif, this structure served as lodging for merchants and craftsmen before becoming a police station during French colonial rule.

The museum displays traditional Moroccan wooden artifacts, including doors, musical instruments, and religious items that represent both Andalusian and Amazigh influences.

Located in Al-Najjariyyin square near the Nejjarine Fountain, the museum opens daily with guided tours available in multiple languages for visitors.

The building contains an original metal scale from its trading era and maintains a functioning public fountain that continues to supply water to local residents.
