Carpet
Just like Iran, Azerbaijan is also famous for the beautiful art of carpet weaving. Each region of this country has a special pattern and map for carpet weaving. These weaving patterns and techniques have been passed down from the past to the people of Azerbaijan today. In order to get to know the types of carpets of Azerbaijan and to see its diversity closely, we suggest that you visit the Baku Carpet Museum during your trip to Azerbaijan. If you want to buy authentic Azerbaijani carpets, visit Icheri Shahr. In this area, you can see carpets that are either spread on the streets and paths or are hanging from somewhere. You might think that carpet sellers don't care much about their expensive products because they trample them and let children play on them. There is a simple reason for this. The older the rug looks, the more valuable it is. Of course, you cannot buy old carpets from the streets or take them out of Azerbaijan, but you can take home small samples of carpets as souvenirs. Of course, keep in mind that because the carpet is a genuine art and is woven entirely by hand, it has a very high price.
