This is common scenario in one of the tanneries in Fes. One of the greatest things about Morocco is the mystery and confusion embedded in its Medinas. Though a Medina might result overwhelming at times, there is a fascinating world behind the wood doors.
Being a tanner might not be the most exciting job but for a tourist it is definitely a must experience in Morocco. In a Medina one would feel like in the Middle Ages. The lack of technology and the most primitive ways of a market live and producing goods would give that essence to what Morocco really has to offer. But Morocco is certainly, more than a Medina. It is a country that encourages growth and improvements. Nonetheless, the Monarchical power limits a lot of those reforms, despite all the modernity reformations from King Hassan VI has encouraged.
