    A small attraction in the old city of Bess, the fountain next to the Timber Museum. I heard that it is a beautiful historical site, but you must wash your hands before entering the mosque 2024/2/7

    Funduq al-Najjarin - a traditional inn for merchants and guests, was built in 1711, during the reign of Alaouite Sultan Ismail Ibn Sharif. The monumental entrance leads to the hall and central courtyard. The gate, 5 meters high and 3 meters wide, is surrounded by a facade with rich stucco and mosaic decorations with floral and geometric motifs as well as Arabic inscriptions, and is topped with an impressive carved cedar wood canopy. Currently, the building houses the Museum of Wood Arts and Crafts ( Le Musée Nejjarine des Arts et Métiers du Bois).

    Exposition of old tools and craftwork, not that special. The building itself is nice, looks like a big riad.
