One of the iconic sights of Fez, the Chaouwara / Chouara tannery, the largest of the city's three tanneries, is a piece of living history that dates to the 11th century. The stench of the open pits can be a little strong at times, as cow urine and pigeon excrement is used to tan the leather.

Chouara Tannery is one of the three tanneries in the city of Fez, Morocco. Built in the 11th century, it is the largest tannery in the city. It is located in the Fes el Bali, the oldest medina quarter of the city, near the Saffarin Madrasa along the river. Since the inception of the city, the tanning industry has been continually operating in the same fashion as it did in the early centuries. Today, the tanning industry in the city 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
