Chouara Tannery
Rows and rows of vats stretch out like a big honeycomb in this tannery, which uses traditional tanning methods of soaking the hides and laying them out to dry. Though the resulting leathers are brilliant, the ingredients used in the process can be quite stinky to tourists.

An old Islamic place of education, Attarin Medersa (also spelled Madrasa) has stood for nearly 700 years. Visitors often marvel at the intricate architecture and carvings throughout the well-preserved structure, which displays traditional patterns in the tiles, plaster and wood.
