Origins and Cultural Heritage of the Berber Rug

The Berber rug is much more than a simple decorative accessory: it’s a living heritage, born in the heart of the Atlas Mountains in North Africa. These rugs are rooted in the millennia-old culture of the Berber people—nomadic or semi-nomadic communities living primarily in Morocco, but also in Algeria and Tunisia. Their traditions, deeply connected to nature and tribal life, have given rise to an exceptionally rich craftsmanship, with the rug being one of its noblest representatives.
