The fondouk used to host foreigners who stopped by in the city. On the ground floor, the moucharabieh-ornamented galleries, divided into cells, used to accommodate the animals. The hosts occupied the upstairs rooms. The building which, according to historians, dates back to the 18th century, was completely restored by the «Karim Lamrani Foundation».

The Foundouk houses the Museum of Arts and Wood Craft Trade. It is open every day from 10am to 5.30pm.
Admission fee payable.
