Leather Tanning in Morocco | Morocco Real Travel Experience

Leather making in Morocco.

It’s definitely not for the faint of heart. πŸ™‚ The pungent smells of raw leather are overwhelming and I was thankful for the sprigs of mint they gave us at the door to waft (or keep steady!) in front of our noses.

But that aside, I mean seriously, look at these amazing items:

The procedure of tanning leather is centuries old in Fes, Morocco. Here there is a place in the medina where dozens and dozens of β€œholes” are and where the procedure happens.
