The Basics

The museum is open daily, typically from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with an entrance fee of around 20-25 MAD. It’s a compact museum that can be explored in about an hour, making it an excellent addition to your itinerary. Information boards provide detailed descriptions in multiple languages, helping visitors understand the significance of each exhibit. The building itself, with its zellige tilework and cedar wood ceilings, is a masterpiece worth admiring.

Things to Know Before You Go

Photography is allowed, but flash and tripods are prohibited. The museum’s central courtyard and rooftop are highlights, so plan some extra time to soak in the atmosphere. Wear comfortable shoes, as the Medina’s cobblestone streets can be uneven. If you’re visiting during peak hours, expect some crowds in this popular cultural spot.

How to Get There

The Nejjarine Museum is located near the famous Nejjarine Square, close to the Al-Qarawiyyin University. It’s easily reachable on foot if you’re staying in the Medina. From other parts of Fez, taxis can drop you at a nearby Medina entrance, such as Bab Boujloud, from where it’s a 10-15 minute walk.

When to Get There

Mornings and late afternoons are ideal times to visit, offering a quieter experience. The rooftop terrace is particularly lovely in the early morning or late afternoon light. Avoid midday visits during summer, as the narrow streets leading to the museum can become crowded and hot.

Day Trips from Fez

Combine your visit to the Nejjarine Museum with other nearby attractions in the Medina. Explore Al-Qarawiyyin University, the Chouara Tannery, or the Moulay Idriss II Shrine. For a full-day cultural experience, you could also include a guided tour of the Medina, allowing you to discover hidden gems and learn more about Fez’s rich history and traditions.
