Lonely Planet review

In this, the largest of the tanneries, workers treat, scrape and dye animal skins in a series of pits. The dyes are mostly made of plants such an indigo and poppies. A walk along Derb Chouwara will result in numerous invitations to terraces from shop-owners and their touts, where you'll get a good view of the pits. Mint leaves ward off the smell!
