Founded in the 7th century B.C. as ancient Afrasiab, Samarkand had its most significant development in the Timurid period from the 14th to the 15th centuries.

In this video you will see an amazing family business..Haji Mohammad Ewaz Badghisi, a Turkmen master weaver, leads the family-run workshop that has dedicated over three centuries to the art of carpet weaving. He is now 103 years old. Despite facing numerous challenges, including relocating to Afghanistan during the Soviet annexation of Central Asia and later returning to Uzbekistan amid political unrest in 1992, the Badghisi family has persevered in their quest to preserve and pass on their ancestral art form. Today, Haji Baba's children, younger son Abdullah and daughter Zainab, carry on the family's legacy, managing the workshop with passion, knowledge, and a unique sense of humor.
