Chouara Tannery of Fes photo spot

The Chouara Tannery of Fes, located in Morocco, is one of the oldest tanneries in the world. It dates back to the 11th century and is still in operation today. The tannery is owned and operated by the Chouara cooperative, which is made up of families that have been in the tanning business for centuries. The tannery is located in the Fes medina, within the walls of the old city. The tannery is made up of a number of dyeing basins, which are filled with a variety of natural dyes and ingredients. The hides of cows, sheep, and goats are placed in the basins, which are then left to soak for up to several days. The hides are then taken out and tanned in the sun and dried before being sold to local merchants. The tannery is a popular tourist destination, and visitors can observe the tanning process, as well as purchase leather goods made from the hides.
