An Afghan rug (or Afghan carpet[1]) is a type of handwoven floor-covering textile traditionally made in the northern and western areas of Afghanistan,[2][3] mainly by Afghan Turkmens and Uzbeks.[1][4] The industry is being expanded to all 34 provinces of Afghanistan.[5]
Afghan rugs have won a number of international awards.[6][7] The most notable Afghan rugs market in Afghanistan is in the affluent Shahr-e Naw area of Kabul.[8] The cities of Peshawar, Islamabad and Quetta in Pakistan as well as Dubai in the United Arab Emirates are also notable for Afghan rugs markets.
