In our 11-Day Iran Tour, we have organized a knowledge-based tour for Persian carpets for those who are eager to know different types of Iranian carpet or for those who are willing to buy a great one.

The Art of Persian Carpets

The Persian carpet or rug is an indispensable part of Persian art and culture. Carpet weaving is surely one of the most important indications of Persian culture, art and dates back to the old Persia. The exquisitely intricate patterns and natural dyes have represented it as one of the most Iranian worthwhile skills.

Persian carpets can be divided into three groups:

  • Farsh/Qali (sized anything greater than 6*4 feet)
  • Qalicheh which is a small rug (sized 6*4 feet and smaller)
  • Gelim as nomadic carpets that includes Zilu  which is a rough carpet

Zilus are flat weaves but carpets or rugs are pile weaves. the pile can be from silk, wool, or fine wool that is called Kork.

Persian Rug Tools

Persian carpets and rugs are mainly made on the vertical loom but in the case of being lucky to visit the Iranian nomads, we can see the horizontal loom as well. They use the horizontal one in order to fold and carry them easily from camp to camp.

There are other tools such as comb, hook, spindle, scissors, knife, and of course the design plate that you can see and experience the way of using these tools on our journey.

Visiting Cities

This tour is designed to show you the art of Persian carpet and weaving it. But, we have managed this tour somehow that you wouldn’t miss the most important attractions in the visiting cities. Our journey will start from Shiraz the city of color, literary, culture and gardens, Persepolis (Takht-e Jamshid) one of the Achaemenid capitals and the place of birth of Pazyryk rug, and Abarkooh. We want to visit Abarkooh’s old cypress tree which the locals believe that it was planted by Zoroaster. Later, we are going to visit Yazd the adobe city and windcatcher. Ardakan is well known for its rugs and mat, Naein that is well-known for its rugs and carpets around the world, Isfahan the city of Islamic architecture and carpets collection are still waiting for us.  At the end of this journey, we visit Kashan a city with more than 7,500 years of urbanization to try weaving carpet for yourself. At last, we return to Tehran the capital of Iran to review what we have seen during our journey in the carpet museum or carpet bazaar.
