MEGERIAN ARMEN CARPET

This US-based company offers a wide range of rugs and kilims from Armenia and the Orient in general, especially from Iran and Central Asia. Many of the rugs are handmade, but there are also industrial ones. The shop is located on the southwestern outskirts of Yerevan, on the shores of Lake Yerevan, in the Davitashen district. Although it is a bit out of the way, the shop is worth a visit for the profusion of carpets offered for sale, guaranteed by a certificate which is essential to avoid hassles at the customs.
