The big red Afghan rug in my parents' house meant that i had always associated Afghanistan with carpets. So, when the time came to pack my bags and head there on my first of two trips, i decided that i`m going to get one of my own.
What To Buy: Different regions of the country have their own unique designs. Almost always, they are deep red and with some incredible geometric patterns/ designs on them, and usually handmade using vegetable dyes...
What To Pay: Afghan rugs are well known and sought after. In New York, i believe they will cost no less than $50/ sqr foot.... I got a 6*4 foot rug for $170, and two more, that were slightly smaller...

This is a lovely page on Afghanistan. I'm glad to hear that on your last trip, you saw signs of recovery and stability. It's time for a country that has been through so much, to finally experience peace and prosperity. | Rinjani Wed Feb 6, 2008 10:12 UTC
