Traditional Moroccan Tannery Workers Processing Hides in Fez Early Afternoon Sunlight

by Ivy Knight

Workers stand waist-deep in large, hexagonal stone vats within the Chouara Tannery in Fez, Morocco, during the bright early afternoon. The vats contain dark, murky liquids used for dyeing and curing leather hides. Men use wooden paddles to agitate the wet animal skins, lifting them out to drain excess fluid before passing them to others. The surrounding walls are lined with stacked layers of processed leather sheets. Sunlight casts sharp shadows across the stone alleyways, highlighting the texture of the wet hides and the worn clothing of the laborers. No modern equipment is visible, only traditional tools and manual effort.
