Arak Traditional Bazaar

Have you ever imagined that the reputation and beauty of a Persian carpet could create a significant market? The Arak traditional bazaar is one of those tremendous oriental bazaars built especially for carpet trading in Arak, Iran. The city doesn't have a much longer history; it was called Sultanabad in the past. It takes almost 20 years to build Sultanabad city to raise the standard and facilities in the villages of this region. Arak Bazaar is the first built market and the city's primary market, with a unique structure and Persian architecture covering the city's central part. Two east-west and north-south roads from the bazaar lead to four essential gates of the old town, indicating that at the time, the city's entrance was at Chahar Soogh in the bazaar. For any carpet dealers and traders, Arak Bazaar was (and still is) a golden place to find rare and antique rugs, especially those unique Persian carpet styles like Sarouk rug, Farahan rugs and Sultanabad rugs. This Persian market is also a great tourist site for those who like to dive into Persian and Iranian culture. If you want to get familiar with the beauty and mysteries of Persian carpets, learn about the processes of natural dyeing and dive into the colors and patterns of Persian rugs, then make a plan to visit the fantastic Arak Bazaar!

Most professional and experienced carpet repairers are working in Iran, especially in the premier regions of the Persian carpet industry like Isfahan, Qom, Tabriz, and Arak. You can repair any damage to your beautiful rug or remove any stain and burn by carrying your carpet to one of the great repairers in Arak Bazaar.

We all see the fantastic beauty of Persian rugs, but we never meet their creatures! In the Arak bazaar, you can get this opportunity to meet traditional Persian carpet designers and order a unique design.

The bazaar of Arak and the modern-day city of Sultanabad were both constructed at the same time. Although it took some time to build the city, no precise date has been documented for the bazaar's founding. According to historical documents, building the entire town took roughly twenty years. The bazaar was constructed concurrently. The earliest structures in the bazaar of Arak were built in the 19th century on the instruction of the governor of Arak at the time, Sepahdar Azam, whose name is still on a mosque and a school.
The prosperous area near Sultan Abad was one of the factors used to construct this market. The demand for a central market to sell these goods was motivated by the superior agricultural products produced in Arak and the famed Sarouk Persian carpets and Sultanabad rugs, which opened doors for building the city and the market.
