The timeless beauty of Egypt's majestic pyramids and ancient artifacts has long fostered extraordinary artistic achievement. Among Egypt's acclaimed artisans are its weavers, regarded among the finest in the world. This esteem is even more impressive when you consider that Egypt is a relatively minor rug exporter and is not generally associated with Oriental carpets.

Despite roots in the 16th century or earlier, Egypt only recently adopted contemporary rug weaving techniques. This leap forward is credited to the renowned Megerian family, prestigious rug producers who meticulously oversee every detail of color, design and texture. Most Megerian rugs display a sublime balance of larger design elements with substantial open spaces. This attention to detail is unmistakable in every spectacular rug.
