Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts
فندق النجارين
A former 18th-century caravanserai turned woodwork museum, where cedar carvings and a rooftop café overlook the old city.
The Nejjarine Caravanserai was built in 1711 and once served as a funduq, an inn and trading hub for merchants. Restored in 1998 as the Museum of Wood Arts and Crafts, it displays cedar-carved doors and windows, musical instruments, wedding items and carpenters' tools. The three-story arcaded courtyard is itself a fine piece of architecture. The rooftop café serves mint tea with views over the old city. In front, Nejjarine Square has an ornate tiled fountain. Admission is about 20 dirhams, and allow about an hour.
