The ancient city of Fes is the second largest city in Morocco and is also a world heritage. The ancient city of Fes is known as the world's largest pedestrian street! In this ancient Islamic city, the narrow, winding alleys, the bazaars filled with shops, the prayers of mosques, the smell of the stinging leather factory are a great challenge to sight, hearing and taste. We spent the day in these streets, enjoying the narrow, crowded, noisy people's livelihood, and feeling the biggest impact of taste. Leather dyeing workshop: It is a traditional Moroccan crafts industry. I heard that it is used to soften the skin with pigeon dung, and then dyed with the old square. The taste is simply, you can smell the pungent smell from afar. Look closely, the fuel in the pool is different in color, and it is dyed under the operation of the workers. We saw a lot of finished products with very bright colors and can buy a variety of leather goods here, fully embody the Moroccan style.

    Colorful dyeing cylinders and disliked smells, the dazzling array of leather products are the reason for tourists to visit. The tour guide leads to the classic dyeing workshop and sees the traditional leather factory. Although it looks a bit simple, the scene is suitable for taking pictures, especially some products are very delicate.

    Chouara Leather Factory is one of the city’s most iconic landscapes, and has been producing world-class leather in an ancient way since its founding in the Middle Ages. Turinated leather (commonly known as ripe leather) is a famous traditional crafts industry in Fez, playing an important role in the old town, it is said that the old town of Fez is listed as a world cultural heritage, the unique leather dye tank is one of its important factors. Fez is famous for its handmade leather products, and today, with the rapid development of industrialisation, this dyeing workshop has always maintained the traditional hand-dyed technology to process leather. The dyeing workshop will use pigeon dung, cow urine, lime water and other materials to process the leather, so that within a hundred meters of the place is "smelly", and over time, "smelly" has become a cultural symbol of this ancient city, attracting many tourists from the famous to visit. Visitors can not go down to the leather dyeing workshop, only from the surrounding store rooftop to see the workers in the leather dyeing process. The colorful dye cylinders are arranged in turn, and the laborers shuttle between them is quite spectacular. If you can't stand the pungent smell of dyeing workshops, you can ask the store for a piece of mint leaf to ease it. ⚠️ There are too many leading brothers on the road, he takes you to take pictures, and then he has to lead the toll, generally 20-50, and it is not necessarily the two with good angles, but you can definitely see it. Many places around the dyeing workshop can be seen. The best location is on the side of the picture below. There are only two leather shops upstairs with a good viewing angle, so don't take pictures and don't need to give him money, but if you take pictures, you have to lead the toll to others.

    The ancient city of Fes is listed as a World Heritage Site and is considered one of the world's largest urban pedestrian areas. The most "colorful" attractions in the ancient city are the leather dyeing workshops. The traditional process of using natural materials has been used for thousands of years to produce the world's top leather. Visitors must climb the roof of the surrounding houses to see how the workers in the dyeing workshop process leather before entering the visit, each person will send a piece of mint leaf to cover the sour smell of the dyeing workshop because they are not suitable for pinching the nose and leaving after a short visit. ~

    The local guide took us to visit this leather factory and gave us a handful of mint before going up, saying that it was a secluded smell in the nose. To be honest, the taste was really hard to say. We visited, took a few photos, bought a pair of shoes, and hurried away.

    The leather dyeing workshop in the ancient city of Feis is very distinctive, and you can smell the astringent nose from afar. When you go in, the workers are soaking in the dyeing tank with various animal furs. The leather goods in the leather factory are made of real leather.
