Our porch or clothes dryer.
The medina is just outside our window.
7:00 AM.
Looks like carpets are drying on the roof.
It was built in 1876. Old, beautiful. There was no end to all the tile / mosaic, teak wood, carved wood and engraved cement. Tile everywhere. Rose gardens. But the Internet did not work. We were overlooking the Medina. Could hear the call to prayer five times a day. Breakfast buffet. You could also have hot foods and omlets.

The live chickens arriving. We were in front of a poultry store. Heard a chicken streaking ..and a minute later, saw the man slice his throat and quiet.

Brass area. They are cutting the brass. Pounding and carving it into things. Very noisey.
Brass
Tiled walls, floors everywhere.
Door to a mosque
In the brass area, a snack shoppe on second floor.
This is the carpet store. Five couples bought rugs out of twelve..
They began to show us all different types of rugs. Men were coming out of all corners and laying them in the center of the room. The pile got quit high.
Bathroom in rug store. This is in the medina as are all the pictures. You would go into a plain door and walk into a big business.
14 th century Koranic university. In the Medina. Doorway.
Our guide for the day. In traditional clothing.
Leather dying area. Smell is very bad and they give everyone a handful of mint to hold to your nose. This is one of the worst jobs possible. The men are sloshing in tubs of water under the hot sun the entire day
Piles of leather waiting to be dyed.
