YOThe prettiest place in Morocco… that smells like a nightmare. 🌿👃
Welcome to Chouara Tannery, a 1,000-year-old tradition in the heart of the Fes Medina. Since the 11th century, they’ve been using the exact same methods to produce the world’s finest leather but there’s a catch.
Before you enter, the locals hand you a sprig of fresh mint. Why? Because the “secret sauce” for softening camel, goat, and cow hides includes:
Pigeon droppings 🐦
Cow urine 🐄
Quicklime & Salt 🧂
The result? A pungent, ammonia-heavy scent that hits you the moment you step onto the terrace. It’s a sensory overload of vibrant colors and ancient smells that you have to experience to believe!
📍 Chouara Tannery, Fez, Morocco 🇲🇦
