Nabeul Carpets Part 3




After knotting the carpets, we were invited to sit on low carved benches, and were served sweet mint tea. The shop owner then taught us all about the carpets, the different qualities, etc with the help and two assistants that rolled out the carpets, rolled one in a ball, stamped on it, and rolled it out again to demonstrate how it didn't crease. I was so very tempted to buy a carpet for

my non-existent house, but bravely resisted and walked out.
