    A Glimpse into the Past Dating back to the 11th century, Chouara Tannery has been an integral part of Fez's economy and culture for nearly a millennium. It's not just a workplace; it's a living museum where ancient techniques have been preserved and passed down through generations. The Art of Leather-Making The tanning process at Chouara is a fascinating blend of tradition and craftsmanship. Workers, knee-deep in dye pits, use techniques that have remained largely unchanged for centuries: Soaking: Raw hides are first soaked in a mixture of limestone and pigeon droppings to soften the leather. Cleaning: The hides are then thoroughly washed to remove any remaining hair or flesh. Dyeing: Finally, the leather is immersed in various natural dyes, including poppy for red, indigo for blue, and saffron for yellow.
