La fuente Chrob o Chouf, está cerca de la medersa y la mezquita de Ben Youssef. Estamos en el corazón de la antigua ciudad, fundada por los almorávides. Esta fuente se construyó en el siglo XVI, encargada por el rey Ahmed el Mansour. Es famosa porque tiene un marco de madera excepcional, esculpido con inscripciones en árabe, probablemente del Corán. Hay un techo de tejas verde, como en los edificios oficiales de la ciudad. Marrakech es la puerta del desierto, pero aún no tiene problemas con el agua. La fuente sigue operando y la gente del barrio acude para buscar agua de cocina, limpieza y para beber. Hay una inscripción caligráfica de estilo andaluz, que invita a la gente a beber y mirar, que es Chrob o Chouf en árabe. De estilo saadita, la fuente forma parte del patrimonio mundial de la UNESCO, junto con las tumbas saaditas, desde 1985
The Chrob or Chouf fountain is near the Medersa and Ben Youssef Mosque. We are in the heart of the ancient city, founded by the Almoravids. This fountain was built in the sixteenth century, commissioned by rey ​​Ahmed el Mansour. It is famous because it has an exceptional frame wood, carved with inscriptions in Arabic, probably from the Koran. There is a green roof tiles, and official buildings in the city. Marrakech is the gateway to the desert, but still has no water problems. The source continues to operate and the local people go to fetch water for cooking, cleaning and drinking. There is an Andalusian-style calligraphic inscription that invites people to drink and watch, which is Chrob or Chouf in Arabic. Of Saadian style, font is part of the UNESCO World Heritage along with saaditas graves since 1985

Il est des monuments qui par leur discrétion n’attirent pas immédiatement le regard des passants. Cette fontaine a beau être classée au patrimoine mondiale de l’UNESCO, elle ne focalise pas l’attention tel que pourrait le faire la mosquée Ben Youssef ou les multiples boutiques du Souk à proximité. Ce qui distingue ce lieu d’un autre c’est son intégration inaltérée au cœur de la Médina, un point de passage pour les marrakchis d’hier et d’aujourd’hui. La Fontaine Chrob ou Chouf n’est pas simplement un monument, c’est surtout un lieu populaire où se mêlaient et se mêlent toujours toutes les générations de marocains. Plus qu’une représentation d’un monument, cette photo tente de témoigner de ces scènes de vie qui se déroulent quotidiennement face à cette fontaine…depuis maintenant quatre siècles.
There are some monuments which by their discretion not immediately catch the eye of passersby. This beautiful fountain be classified as World Heritage by UNESCO, it does not focus attention as could be the Ben Youssef Mosque or multiple Souk shops nearby. What distinguishes this place from another is its integration unaltered in the heart of the Medina, a transit point for marrakchis yesterday and today. Fountain Chrob or Chouf is not just a monument, it is mostly a popular mingled and still mix all generations of Moroccans. More than a representation of a monument, this picture tries to show these scenes of daily life taking place against the fountain ... the last four centuries.

Beautiful awning

Magnifique auvent

Excellent
Chrob n'Chouf signifie "Bois et regarde". La rue est étroite, et on manque de recul pour bien admirer la hauteur de cet édifice. Cette antique fontaine mériterait une petite restauration au niveau de la distribution de l'eau. Par contre, l'auvent qui la surmonte lui vaut le statut de monument historique. Le bois de cèdre est sculpté en une belle série de stalactites. Des inscriptions en calligraphie coufique y sont gravées.
Chrob n'Chouf means "Wood and looks." The street is narrow, and lack of experience to properly admire the height of the building. This ancient fountain deserves a little restaurant at the water distribution. For cons, the canopy which surmounts earned him the status of a historical monument. Cedar wood is carved into a beautiful series of stalactites. Inscriptions in Kufic calligraphy are engraved.
