<p>I’d recommend going on a weekday or <em data-start="880" data-end="885">not</em> during lunchtime :) We arrived at 11 a.m., and many women were working at the looms — it was fascinating to watch them and even try it ourselves. Later, we went to look at the carpets and visit the store, but when I came back upstairs around 12:15 to take more photos of the looms, the workshop was empty — the women had gone for lunch, and tourists were only shown the looms and told about the process in words.</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I highly recommend visiting the Silk Carpet Factory (12a Djami Street).<br data-start="86" data-end="89" data-is-only-node="" />We came here on the recommendation of our guide — took a taxi ourselves.<br data-start="161" data-end="164" />A factory employee welcomed us and gave us a very interesting free tour.<br data-start="236" data-end="239" />They showed us the whole process — from silkworm cocoons and dyes to the weaving looms. We even got to try tying the tiny knots ourselves &#x1fae3;. The silk carpets are absolutely stunning.<br data-start="422" data-end="425" />Afterward, we visited the shop where they sell scarves, clothing, and carpets. We didn’t buy anything, and they said goodbye very kindly, inviting us to come again.<br data-start="589" data-end="592" />Everything was incredibly hospitable — no pushy sales at all.</p>
