Chouara Tannery is one of the three tanneries in the city of Fez, Morocco. It was built in the 11th century and it is the largest tannery in the city. From its inception, the tanning industry in Fez has been continually operating in the same fashion as it did in the early centuries. Today, tanning is considered one of the main tourist attractions. The tanneries are packed with the round stone vessels filled with dye or white liquids for softening the hides. The leather goods produced in the tanneries are exported around the world.
