Top 3 Machine-Made Carpet Manufacturers in Egypt

Egypt is located in northeastern Africa with an area of 1001449 square kilometres and is surrounded by Libya from the west and Sudan from the south and the Red Sea from the east.

The presence of cotton in Egypt, especially in the fields along the Nile and local sheep wool has caused the prosperity of the carpet weaving industry in Egypt.

Some carpet scientists have called this country the cradle of carpets and the discovered handicrafts confirm this theory and show that the carpet weaving industry has a long history in Egypt.

Egypt is one of the oldest countries producing hand-made carpets. In addition, there are several world-renowned manufacturers of machine-made carpets in Egypt. In the following article, the top 3 manufacturers of machine-made carpets in Egypt are introduced.
