Fes, Morocco — September 20, 2021 — The Chouara Tannery is both the largest and one of the oldest tanneries in the area. With centuries of rich history, it continues to produce leather using the same traditional methods as in its early days. The tannery's time-honored process relies on natural dyes and materials — including cow urine, pigeon excrement, and quicklime — to soften the hides and remove hair. Workers wash the hides in nearby vats before hanging them to dry on surrounding terraces. Passed down through generations of craftsmen, the Chouara Tannery stands as both a historical landmark and a living museum of traditional leather-making.
