The tanneries of Fez ( Fès فاس ) - Morocco - Maroc - المغرب
Tanning is a craft with traditions that go back thousands of years. The hides of sheep, goats, cows and camels undergo several processes, including removing of the flash and hairs, followed by soaking in vats (tanning), then by drying and rinsing, before they are ready to be dyed and handed over to the leatherworkers.
