The fondouq itself is astounding. Its walls are decorated with rich woodwork panelling, making it the perfect setting for a museum celebrating the finest wooden crafts in Fes. The real treasures however, lie within its rooms. They are filled with antique wooden doors, prayer beds, traditional craftsmen tools and musical instruments. Take your time to admire each exquisite artefact and marvel at the skill of the craftsmen who could turn a block of wood into a work of art.
