A
Tim Abdulla Khan
For carpets, you couldn't ask for a better shopping atmosphere than at the silk weaving and carpet centre in the late 16th-century Tim Abdulla Khan, near Taqi-Telpaq Furushon Bazaar (a tim was a general market). They are not pushy and will openly inform you on what's handmade and what's machine-made. You can watch silk-carpet weavers in action here.

Suzani & Textiles
Serious suzani and textile collectors should head to Akhbar House for a glimpse of owner Akhbar's fantastic collection. Much of it isn't even for sale but he may even be willing to part with gems from his personal collection for the right price.
