The funduq was a common feature of medieval Islamic cities, and was usually composed of at least two floors of rooms arranged around a central courtyard. Funduqs provided traveling merchants with accommodation and storage space for goods and animals. As a midpoint betweent the cities of northern Morocco and the vilages in the mountains to the south, the funduqs of Marrakesh were central locations where goods, tribes and ideas mixed.
