LEADIN:
The Moroccan city of Fez is famous for its traditional wares.
Now, ancient travelling inns, or fondouks, have been transformed into craft markets displaying artisan products from fabric to footwear.
STORYLINE:
Exquisite hand-made embroidered fabrics - just some of the items on display in the restored Fondouk Es-Stawniyine.
It's one of four medieval travelling inns that has been restored to its original beauty, in a move to revitalise traditional handicrafts.
The project is supported by the Agency for the Development and Rehabilitation of the City of Fez (ADER), with American funding from the Millennium Challenge Corporation Fund.
There are 117 fondouks in Fez located in the medina (old town).
In the past, the sites were used as slave markets or to traffick women.
Others were the sites of polluting tanneries.
The Fondouk Es-Stawniyine was founded in the 14th century as an inn.
