The Chouara Tannery of Fez, Morocco dates back to the 11th century, it operates much the same way it has since its inception.

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! ;)

It's quite a walk from the medina, and when you first walk inside it doesn't seem to impressive. But the longer you stay, the more impressive it does become.

Wander through the large halls, admire the architecture and head out back to the long rows of stables...it's a cool place to spend an hour.
