    Khiva Silk Carpet Workshop

    At the Khiva Silk Carpet Workshop, apprentice carpet makers hand-weave silk rugs patterned after Khiva-style majolica tiles, doors and miniature paintings. There's lots of natural-dyed silk hanging around and you can watch women work the looms. Ask the personable English-speaking manager Jalol for a tour. They have a second workshop in the Kutlimurodinok Medressa, where there are other handicraft workshops as well.

    Craft Stalls

    The main drag for craft stalls is the narrow alley that runs west from Islom-Hoja Minaret.

    Other souvenir and craft shops are wedged into many Ichon-Qala attractions.
