Qarchak

Qarchak (قرچک) is a city in southeastern Tehran Province, known for its agriculture and rug-weaving industry.

The town serves as a quiet base for exploring the surrounding region, with its own charms including traditional architecture, local bazaars, and the warm hospitality of its residents. Visitors who take the time to explore beyond the main thoroughfares will discover a side of Iran that few international travellers see — authentic, unhurried, and deeply rooted in centuries of tradition.
