Funduq al-Najjariyyin, Historic inn and wood crafts museum in Medina of Fez, Morocco.
Funduq al-Najjariyyin is a historic inn and wood crafts museum in the Medina of Fez with three floors arranged around a central courtyard. The galleries feature intricate tilework and carved cedar patterns that decorate the walls and ceilings.
The building was constructed in 1711 under Sultan Ismail Ibn Sharif and served as lodging for merchants and craftsmen. It later became a police station during French colonial rule before being transformed into a museum.
The building displays traditional Moroccan woodwork throughout its rooms, shaped by Andalusian and Amazigh influences. Visitors see doors, musical instruments, and religious objects that reflect the craft heritage of this region.
The building sits on Al-Najjariyyin square next to the Nejjarine Fountain, making it easy to locate. Guided tours are available in multiple languages, and you should visit during posted opening hours.
The building preserves an original scale from its trading era that visitors can still view. The site also has a working public fountain that continues to supply water to local residents today.
