Morocco Chouara Tanneries Fes

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

The tannery is surrounded by shops. To look into the tannery you need to visit one of the shops - with no commitment to purchase, however, you will be shown many products from handbags, to clothing to poufs. You are given mint sprigs to hold near your nose as the smell from the tannery is a bit overwhelming.

The tannery is broken into two areas - the softening (the white vats) and the dyeing vats.

Photography Tips

The shops to take pictures are not open until after sunrise. Then the shadows and high contrast start quickly so best to be there as early as possible. The shops will let you up stairs - you will be shown stuff for sale but the vantage is worth the effort.
