Why Abu Dhabi customers have trusted Al Malakia since 2008
Our showroom sits inside Sharjah's Central Souq — the largest concentration of Persian carpet merchants in the UAE. Our family travels annually to the historic weaving centres in Iran — Qum, Tabriz, Isfahan, Kashan, Nain — and selects carpets directly from the weaving families. This means full provenance on every piece, documented authenticity, and prices that reflect the source cost — not the luxury retail markup found in Abu Dhabi showrooms. Many of our earliest Abu Dhabi clients from 2008 still return for new pieces for their children and second homes.
Why the trip from Abu Dhabi is worth it
Inventory unmatched in Abu Dhabi
Over 500 carpets on-site, including rare Qum pieces at 900 knots per inch — this depth of selection simply does not exist in Abu Dhabi.
Source pricing, not luxury retail
Abu Dhabi carpet showrooms carry premium rents. We work from a historic souq and pass the savings to you — usually 40–60% lower.
16+ year track record
Abu Dhabi families have come to us since 2008. Ask any established Persian carpet dealer in the UAE and they will know us by name.
