Meticulously renovated, this fonduk/hotel/caravanseri is a real treat. The contents may be sparse, but memorable eg the tiny "Bride box" to carry cross legged 11-12 year old girls to their new unknownunseen husband's house to remain there until she dies. The cafe at the top gives good views across the medina and serves a range of drinks. More

The building that houses the museum is really the star attraction. It's a former caravansari that had fallen into terrible disrepair and was 'saved' by a huge influx of money. The tour is a spiral, you start at the bottom and work your way up to the roof top terrace. If you love museums (I do) - this one is... More

Beautifully preserved old house - quite large, spacious and airy, as well. The rooms are very well-organised by theme of artifacts on display - different arts of wood, metal, carving, etc. Very good quality of items on display. There is a pleasing cafe (drinks only) on the roof. This is one of Fes' best sttractions. More

Beautiful building and a fun place to check out. Though it's more the type where you walk through at a casual/quick pace (unless you are a scholar of wood crafts). Rooftop is a nice spot. More

Was taken here by our guide and we were quite impressed even though we don't read French or Arabic. Beautiful building and interesting number of items with a good view from the roof top tea house. The cleanest toilets in Morocco!! More
