@yakuptastravel: The Chouara Tannery is one of the most famous and historic leather production centers in Fes, operating since the 11th century using traditional methods. Located in the old city (medina) of Fes, this tannery is known for its large stone pits and colorful dyeing pools used for processing animal hides. Lamb, goat, camel, and cow hides are particularly processed and dyed here. It is common for visitors to bring mint with them when visiting this area. The reason for this is that the natural materials used in processing the hides have a very strong and pungent odor. Manure, pigeon droppings, cow urine, and various plant materials are often used to soften and clean the hides. The sharp smell created by these mixtures can be quite overwhelming, especially on hot days. Smelling mint helps to mask the odors in this area. 📍 The Chouara Tannery-Fes-Morocco🇲🇦 #TheChouaraTannery #morocco #fes #Chouaratannery #marrakech #travel #traveller
