Morocco is known for their leather exports.
So when in a medieval city like Old Fez, a popular tourist attraction is often to take a tannery tour. What are tanneries? A seven century age-old way of making leather products from belts to bags, cushions, etc...through the skinning, shearing, drying and dyeing of animal skins with the help of laborious manpower and big vats of all-natural dyes.
Now guide books will be-cry the relationship between the tanneries and its smell as a forewarning, such that a post-911 New York resident and vegetarian like myself, immediately began drawing notions of the deathly odor as being from rotting carcasses. I admit, I was a bit reluctant to tourist this territory. Nevertheless, my curiosity is stronger than fear or stench, and pinching my nostrils and breathing through the side of my mouth held work-around solutions for opening this bejeweled Fez-ian Pandora's prize.
Well, honestly,... the smell was nowhere near the scariness I had imagined.

Morocco's Chouara tannery still operates as it did a thousand years ago
Fez is the second-largest city in Morocco. UNESCO declared its medina - or marketplace -- a world heritage site in 1981. Fez has many amazing tourist sites, but perhaps most impressive is the ancient skills of its inhabitants, which date back to medieval times. Follow our reporter Zhang Cheng as he explores the oldest leather tannery in the world
The Leather Tanneries of Fez, Morocco
In Fez, leather-making is done in pits that date back to the 11th century. There are three tanneries in Fez, this being the largest. Customers are given a sprig of mint to hold under their noses, in a vain attempt to mask the stench from the pits, where limestone, alum, and pigeon droppings full of ammonia are used in the process. After a brief orientation at the terraces overlooking the pits, customers are taken to the showroom, where the real show begins - negotiating for leather jackets, purses, slippers, ottomans, belts and more.

Chouara Tanneries, Fez, Morocco
One of the most remarkable sights in Fez, if not Morocco, are the Chuara Tanneries. These are some of the oldest tanneries in the world, operating nearly unchanged since the founding of Fez nearly 1000 years ago.
The tannery contains a honeycomb of dry earthen pits where skins are treated with cow uhrine and pigeon dung before they are skinned and soaked in dying chemicals. It is run by one family who passed down the ancient techniques from generation to generation.
