Pakistan is one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of fine oriental hand-knotted carpets. Because of the beauty of their designs, excellent colour combinations, high craftsmanship and perfect finish, Pakistani carpets have become renowned the world over. The major carpet weaving districts are situated in the province Punjab Sheikhupura, Faisalabad & Attock and in the frontier province Peshawar and its suburbs.
