The Best Stops for Crafts, Culture, Shopping, and Drinks in Fez
"Don’t miss a visit to Fondouk el-Nejjarine, a three-story caravansary (or trader's inn) turned woodworking museum — the architecture alone would be enough to warrant a visit, with a central courtyard where caravans once stopped to rest. Exhibitions featuring elaborately carved dowry chests, doors, and furniture offer a glimpse at the intricacy of Moroccan carpentry over thousands of years." - Travel + Leisure Editors
A whole museum dedicated to wood and wood work spread over four levels. All exhibits have English and French descriptions. The museum building is over 300 years old and has served a number of purposes including as a police station in the 1940s!

Absolutely stunning building with nice wooden artifacts exhibition, but in my opinion the building is the more interesting part. Once you find the place in the middle of the Medina.

Nice place for a visit, make sure to go up to the terrace as the views are great from there. We did get hounded outside by kids who wanted to be our guides... Just politely decline, ignore and keep walking 🙂

Beautiful! It used to be a resting spot back in the days for the traders coming from different countries.
The main courtyard was for "horse parking", while the small rooms surrounding the buildings are supposed to be the motel room for the traders to rest. Now they convert it into a wooden museum showcasing all the ancient wooden knick knacks that were used back in the days.

A museum that is worth visiting.
You can pay for the ticket at the entrance (20DH). Can't take pictures in the exhibitions but the information was very interesting and amazed by some of the craft works. It has a tea room and a lovely terrace which you can overlook part of the old town from it.

A very interesting museum rebuilt from a former police station. There are tremendous variety of wood craft chasing back hundred of years. There are tremendous building itself worth wandering and look into details. Great experience over all.

Nice museum to visit when you are in Fes. At the time we came, it's not too crowded. You could see many types of crafts and pottery. Google map is quite helpful to navigate us inside this old medina

Beautiful architecture but there are better places to get the view of the city from the top. Entry fee is 20MAD per person to get in. It covers 2 floors with a lot of Moroccan history. Keep aside around 30 mins for this place. It is situated in the heart of the Medina.
