Funduq al-Najjarin

'Inn of the carpenters'; also transliterated as Fondouk el-Nejjarine) is a historic funduq (a caravanserai or traditional inn) in Fes el Bali, the old medina quarter in the city of Fez, Morocco.

[5] The funduq was commissioned by the amin (provost or magistrate) 'Adiyil in 1711, under the reign of the 'Alawi sultan Ismail Ibn Sharif.

[5] The saqayya (fountain) attached to the Funduq al-Najjarin was commissioned in the 19th century by the Sultan Abd al-Rahman (ruled 1822–1859).

The building was originally used as a trading center, caravanserai (inn), and merchant warehouse associated closely with the Makhzen (the government or royal authorities).

[5] Prior to colonial rule, a small number of rooms in the establishment were owned by some of the city's Jewish merchants.

[8] By the 19th century, a post office for the city of Fez also existed between the funduq and the fountain, operating out of a small shop.

[7] A saqayya is often constructed as a charitable structure, either on its own or attached to public buildings such as mosques, so as to provide locals and travelers with drinking water (similar to a sabil in other parts of the Islamic world).

Its highly-decorated façade includes a geometric composition of zellij (mosaic tilework) framed by a blind arch of carved stucco.
