Ferahan Rugs Ferahan rugs are hand woven in the province of Markazi in central Iran. Ferahan is actually a collection of farm towns and small villages with a long and illustrious history of weaving magnificent tribal traditional rugs. In many western countries today, Ferahan rugs are known and sold as Mahal, from the city of Mahallat in the district of Ferahan. The traditional rugs from this region are of the highest quality and in great demand the world over. The Sarouk is one of the most famous traditional rugs produced in the region. Tribal people meticulously weave Ferahan traditional rugs to exacting specifications using the Persian asymmetrical knot.[citation needed]
