The Chouara Tannery of Fez, Morocco dates back to the 11th century, it operates much the same way it has since its inception. 
In this photo a young man dyes the hides of cows, sheep, goats, and camels inside of stone vessels. The solution that they use to clean and soften the skins is a mixtures of cow urine, pigeon feces, quicklime, salt, and water. #history

The Medina of Fes El Bali is the biggest Medina in Morocco and it´s full of life!
Madrasas, fondouks, palaces, residences, mosques and fountains are everywhere! But, be careful, this Medina is also the most labyrinthine, so my advice is to have a local and official guide with you, especially if you have no much time to visit the city  because you´ll probably get lost more than once! ;)

The blue gate is one of the main entrances into the medina in Fes.

Hope you can handle the pigeon poo smell and the way leather is handle. Not a place for animal lovers....

Ville Nouvelle

4/5(19 area reviews)

Ville Nouvelle is noteworthy for its gardens, and you can make a stop at top attractions like Atlas Garden and Borj Fez Mall.

Ville Nouvelle
“Blue? It’s green!” we hear you cry! The other side is blue, but this side is green, the colour for Islam. Standing since 1913, this is the gate that represented all the Arabian Night stories. We got up at 5.30am to get shots without people. If you like this angle you need to head to the roof of the Cascade Hotel. For a few dirhams the sleepy doorman will let you in and lead you up. Seeing the sunrise over this very special city while the Mu’azzin sing out the prayer call is a must. Should you head that way, please send our love to Fes. #history #fes #morocco #babboujeloud
