EDITORS COMMENTS
A breathtaking aerial view of Fez, Morocco's ancient and enchanting city, reveals the vibrant scene of its typical leather tanneries nestled within the heart of the Medina. This image, taken by FRI from Discover Images by AWL, showcases the rich tapestry of Moroccan culture and tradition that continues to thrive in this medieval town. The tanneries, a significant historical industry and an essential part of Moroccan craftsmanship, are a feast for the senses. The red hues of the dye pits, used to treat the hides, create a striking contrast against the blue and white buildings that surround them. The intricate labyrinth of the Medina can be seen in the background, with its narrow streets and ancient Arabic architecture. The tanneries are a testament to the time-honored techniques passed down through generations. The tanners, dressed in traditional clothing, work diligently, using awls and other hand tools to process the hides. The air is filled with the distinct aroma of the dyes and the sounds of hides being soaked, scraped, and treated. The leather produced in these tanneries is used to create various handmade goods, from shoes and bags to jackets and belts. The tanneries are a popular attraction for tourists, offering a glimpse into the rich history and tradition of Moroccan leatherwork. This colorful and evocative image invites us to explore the depths of Moroccan culture and the beauty of its ancient crafts, as we witness the living history of Fez's leather tanneries from above.
