Fes; The Nejjarine Complex



This complex consists of a souk, a fountain



 and a foundouk, now converted to a wood-working museum.



 The 19C fountain is famous as an example of zellige work and appears on several guide-book covers.





The foundouk is a gem. It has been restored by a charitable foundation



 and entrance is 20Dh. There are views of the medina from the roof where you can get a drink for 10Dh but sadly no photography is allowed in the interior. 



The exhibition has lots of traditional woodworking tools and examples of traditional doors, furniture and marriage chests. Ali Baba would have loved it.
