Located around the edge of the Medina, Marrakech’s open-air tanneries are a living postcard of


the city’s age-old leather-making tradition. Here, skins are tanned solely using natural elements


before being taken for dying. Visiting the tanneries feels like a glimpse into the past. Little has


changed in this industry; the same techniques have been used here since medieval times.
