Make Your Own Persian Carpet

Step into the timeless world of Persian rug weaving and create your own piece of art.

In this unique hands-on experience, you’ll learn the secrets behind one of Iran’s most iconic handicrafts — the Persian carpet. Guided by the renowned Haghighi family, whose carpets are showcased in museums across Iran and Europe, you’ll explore every step of the carpet-making process. Their workshop, just a short walk from Naqsh-e Jahan Square, is a living museum of tradition, creativity, and craftsmanship.

You’ll see how natural colors are created from plants and minerals, how wool and silk are dyed, how intricate designs are sketched by hand or computer, and finally — how knots are made and woven into breathtaking patterns. You’ll even try knotting a few rows yourself under the guidance of master weavers.

Why Persian Carpets Are So Special

Persian carpets are more than decorative items — they are living legacies, growing in beauty and value over time. Their natural dyes, quality materials, and detailed artistry make them unique. Unlike machine-made rugs, authentic Persian carpets last for generations and are often considered valuable investments.
