Afghan rugs are a sought-after item among those who appreciate the beauty of unique and intricate designs. Afghanistan boasts a diverse collection of rugs that have gained worldwide recognition for their cultural influence. Among the most famous are the Khal Mohammedi, Hachaloo (four gates of paradise), Khunduz, and the newly created Kargai rugs. These rugs trace their origins to Herat, a city in western Afghanistan with a rich history dating back more than 2,500 years. Herat's long history of occupation by different empires, including the Persian Empire, has influenced the region's carpet-making craft.
Afghan rugs are available in many different styles and types, often named after the region or tribe that produces them. The Afghan Turkestan, Baluch, and Herati rugs are the three primary types, each with its unique characteristics and styles.
