patron saint of the city of Fez and the most revered saint in the entire country, is one of the most emblematic holy places in Morocco. Located on the Place de la Marche Verte, very close to Place Seffarine, it is a religious symbol of Islam. It is a sanctuary in which the remains of Moulay Idriss II are kept, who was one of the kings of the Idrissid dynasty and who reigned between 807 and 828. He was also the founder of the city of Fez for the second time in 810. The reason for the presence of this mausoleum dates back to 1308 when, five centuries after the death of the monarch, his body was found intact in his tomb. This is why at one point in history, more precisely from 1717 to 1824, it was decided to erect a mausoleum as a sacred place, known in Arab culture as Zaouïa. The area in which it is located is called the “Sacred Quarter”. The shrine is accessible 24 hours a day to Muslims, but not to people who practice other religions

Nejjarine Museum of Wood Arts and Crafts, a work of art in itself, is a true tribute to the woodworkers who have left such a mark on the cultural heritage of Morocco. Housed in a traditional former inn or caravanserai, it has been restored and was once used by travelling merchants travelling to Fez. Goods were stored and sold on the first floor while the travellers were housed and fed on the upper floors.

The museum’s exhibition rooms are arranged around a central courtyard, where you can see everything from tools used by craftsmen to prayer beads, Berber locks, chests, large doors and musical instruments. A true journey back in time through small masterpieces.

Today, the remaining handful have moved to the Ville Nouvelle, but it’s still interesting to see traces of the community in the buildings. The name derives from a salt marsh or the Oued Mellah (Salt River) in the area; now every Jewish quarter in Morocco is called a mellah.
