TEHRAN -- Tehran’s Niavaran Cultural Historical Complex is currently hosting the 7th Rural and Nomadic Hand-woven Carpet and Textiles Festival.
About 40 pavilions offer rugs and carpets woven by nomads in Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari, Fars, East Azarbaijan, Qom, Isfahan and several other provinces.
Nomads also train interested visitors in rug and carpet weaving in workshops being held in the nomad tents set up in courtyards of the complex. The tents have also been woven with goat’s hair.
In addition, groups of nomads serve visitors with breads baked at some of the black tents during the festival, which runs until November 2.
