Chouara Tanneries

A wide view of the Chouara Tanneries, the largest such facility in the Fes medina and operating for over a thousand years. In view are both the dye and the lye vats, with the latter being the most dangerous to work with.

How interesting! I love too how you were able to capture the tanned hides drying on the far rooftops. V

I find these quite fascinating, and one of the reasons Morocco is on my bucket list! Including the houses in this image adds greatly to the appreciating the scale. V.
