Finding the Musée Nejjarine des Arts et Métiers du Bois inside the maze that is constituted by the medina of Fès is quite a challenge. Once you’ve found the Place Nejjarine or Carpenters Square you can enjoy the atmosphere of this place, observe the craftsmen, discover the fondouk (a beautifully decorated fountain) and explore the nice museum. The Musée Nejjarine is an old caravansary, a wonderful building which exhibits the fine works of carpenters on several levels, from doors via chests to wooden weaving machines.
And even if you’re not too much into wooden crafts climbing up inside the museum is always a great idea: on top you’ll have great views on the medina and the surrounding buildings. Additionally, there is a tea salon that offers you a great thé à la menthe.
