Mashhad was once a small village, but it has since grown into a major metropolis in eastern Iran with a population of two million. As the capital of Razavi Khorasan Province and Iran’s second-largest city, Mashhad is considered one of the country’s most sacred places because it is home to the tomb of the eighth Imam. Every year, over 10 million pilgrims visit this holy site, bringing energy and vitality to the city.

In addition to its religious significance, Mashhad is also renowned for its carpet production. The city produces rugs of various qualities, distinguished by their rich colors such as deep red, blue, and ivory. Floral patterns surrounding a central medallion are common, and the carpets come in a wide range of sizes.

The wool from Razavi Khorasan is considered the finest in the country, giving Mashhad’s carpets their signature softness and luxurious feel.
