Each of Araby Rug's carefully selected carpets and rugs meets their exacting standards for quality, beauty and durability. They choose rugs that showcase the very best qualities of the weaver’s art. Fine natural wools, entrancing colors, integrity of design and true quality are Araby Rug's touchstones.
