Bab Debbagh Tanneries
Bab Debbagh Tanneries, MAplace
The acrid smell assaulting your nose announces your arrival in Marrakesh's tannery area. You'll find tanneries scattered on either side of Rue de Bab Debbagh – generally with touts stationed at the gates, offering tours for a tip. The best time to come is in the morning when you'll usually be able to see tanners at work, transforming leather hides into a rainbow of hues. It’s hard, dirty work and dangerous too, now that natural dyes have been eschewed for chemical colours.
