Some of the tanners wore shorts, others wore waterproof overalls similar to fishermen. When the desired colours have been achieved the skins are pulled out of the pits, trimmed, and laid out to dry on surrounding rooftops before being moved inside to be cut and sewn into the desired goods you see all over Morocco.Staying in the heart of the Medina (Old Town) allows you to immerse yourself in Fez’s ancient charm. Many riads, traditional Moroccan guesthouses with inner courtyards, are located here, offering an authentic experience. You’ll be within walking distance of historic sites like the Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque located within the bustling souks. If you’re looking for somewhere to little bit quieter and calm, you could also stay just outside the Medina.
