Tehran is the capital of Iran and a large city with a population of about 14 million people, which accounts for about 10% of the population of Iran. Since becoming the capital during the Qajar dynasty (1796-1925), it has expanded rapidly and is now home to the country's major institutions. Geographically, it is located in the hills south of the Alborz Mountains in northern Iran, at an altitude of 900 to 1800 meters above sea level.
Tehran has many museums with various exhibits, a large bazaar, and a warm climate.
Tehran became the capital of Persia (Iran) in 1796, but it was only in the 20th century that the carpet-making industry became mainstream. Tehran carpets made after 1945 in particular have been attracting attention in the global market. Tehran carpets are highly regarded for the precision of their weaving and the quality of their designs, and are characterized by their particularly vivid colors.
