We have been buying beautiful carpets from Sheba Carpets for 4 years now and in total have bought 14, returning every year to add to the collection as we have been so pleased with our purchases. It all started on a rainy day in the UAE when we arrived at the Blue Souk, Sharjah, from Abu Dhabi unsure of which carpet shop to enter. The friendliest greeting came from Rashad Al Ghazali, who made us feel so welcome in his shop without pressurising us at all to actually buy anything. He is such an engaging and interesting man, who makes the whole process of buying a rug a pleasurable and educational experience, and he removes the pressure that can be felt in some shops. So that’s why we have kept returning to Rashad and Sheba Carpets, because he has been so very helpful sourcing the carpets we sought and sending photos over WhatsApp. Several of our friends have also bought carpets from him now, as they heard about our positive experience - he even brought a selection to Abu Dhabi to allow friends to choose 2 carpets in their own home. So Rashad has become a good friend and we look forward to our visits to his shop as a pleasure and a source of enduring good memories of our time living in the UAE. We have bought carpets in many places around the world, but by far the best experience has been with Rashad. Thank you!

I loved getting 2 beautiful rugs at Sheba Iranian carpets. The selection and service was amazing. Not only did he help us w the rugs, he also went above and beyond in helping me get a ring made. That is not only awesome service, but a friendship made. Thank you Sheba!

Our rugs from here are just outstanding. We have had them for four years now and they STILL look beautiful. People always compliment us on them. They look lovely on our wood floor. Additionally, Rashad is wonderful to work with! His employees are so helpful, as well. One day we will return to UAE and we will head back there again to purchase another rug from Rashad!:)

Oh my goodness! What a wonderful carpet experience. I was treated to great service from Mr Rashad and an excellent price compared to those I checked in Dubai.

For anyone looking to buy a carpet on their stopover in Dubai, I recommend they definitely checkout Sheba Iranian Carpets in the Central Souq Sharjah before making their purchase. Best service, best prices.thanks Rashad

What a fabulous experience! I recently visited the Blue Souq in Sharjah and met Mr. Rashad from Sheba Carpets. He showed me a wide range of beautiful handmade carpets; it was hard to choose just one. I can thoroughly Sheba Carpets as a very professional carpet outlet with a wide range of magnificent handmade Persian and Afghani carpets at very competitive prices. I love my new carpets! Thank you Rashad for wonderful service and a fun experience.
18 June 2022 17:41
Best experience ever! Amazing selection rugs, perfect quality! Amazing customer service! Highly recommend!
15 June 2022 15:54
Best carpet shop not only in UAE, but in the world. Best prices with top quality and service. Rashad is one of a kind, with his smile and honesty giving u an outstanding service. The team also would never get tired flipping around all the carpets u would like to see with smile.

I highly recommend shopping only from Sheba carpets, its worth the money u pay.

We bought 6 carpets from Sheba so far, and the count is on.

This store has a huge collection, design and various price range of carpets. An ideal gift from the Middle East. Mr Rashad is the most humble and helpful person and provides all his support for you to be able to get the carpet of your choice

I found Sheba Iranian Carpets Stores in the Blue Souk in Sharjah. I had been to a number of Stores prior to that and I have to say that Rashad is a true expert. He showed an assortment of rugs and explained to us the art of rug making and the origin of each piece.
The silk on silk were just out of this world. I ended up buying a small Qom rug 1 x 1.5 M and they adapted it to be used as a wall hanging. Along with this I bought a thick pile red wool Afghan rug for the living room where there is a lot of use.
I would highly recommend a visit to Rashad's store.

Had a wonderful experience at Sheba Iranian Carpets stores during our family visit to UAE. This store is a branch of Sheba Iranian Carpets main store. Best collection of Persian carpets and hand knotted rugs in UAE. Rashad picked us up from our hotel. Great display of magnificent carpets and guidance in buying. I would highly recommend a visit.
Really looking forward to visiting again and buying a few more rugs.

Rashad at Sheba carpets will help you find the perfect carpet at a great price – he's very knowledgable and has a great selection. I've live around the Gulf and this has become my go-to when rug shopping!
02 January 2022 16:48
I never buy carpets from anyone else. Rashad is knowledgeable, professional, he has a wide range of amazing carpets at amazing prices. He will even come to your house and try them out for size and colours. Highly recommend - 5 star service!
18 December 2021 3:44
It's a great place to buy authentic Iran carpets. Good range to choose from and good location
19 July 2021 19:57
Extremely nice and polite people! They are very professional, and also offer to come to your house/flat/hotel and show you all their carpets. They didn't complain when I even bombed them with thousand messages about size, pattern, colour and style:) Very helpful and deffenetely a recommendation:)
16 July 2021 8:45
Amazing carpets with very good prices. The staff is very polite and helpful. They are truthful of their prices and quality. Please refer to Mr Rashid when you’re there - he is the best. I’ve been to many carpet stores but none can compare to Sheba.
22 June 2021 8:14
I bought two incredibly beautiful wool persian carpets online. Service was great. They were delivered in record time which was excellent since I leave in Melbourne
11 June 2021 22:16
Rashad is hands down the best purveyor of carpets in the UAE. Amazing, beautiful pieces and wonderful, professional service!
30 May 2021 0:37
This really is the best place in the whole of the UAE to buy the most amazing carpets. I am so pleased with the Iranian silk carpet I bought today (plus two beautiful Afghani carpets). It was also a real pleasure visiting this store in the Blue Souk and learning all about the different carpets. My only regret is I couldn’t buy more - but I hope to return - such a knowledgeable and lovely host.
28 February 2021 12:07
Sheba carpets gave us an amazing service. They came to our house and showed us a really big selection of beautiful carpets. They were also very open to working within our budget and helping us find the best life time carpet for us. We bought a beautiful Persian vintage carpet and looking forward to picking sone more. Highly recommend them, great service.
11 February 2021 0:18
We are a repeat customer from Sheba Iranian Carpets and we bought from them a total of 3 tabriz rugs. The owner, Mr. Rashad, has demonstrated great customer service, explaining us about the qualities and differences of the various options and making us very comfortable in our decision. His stock of carpets is impressive and he saved no efforts to find a rug that we liked. I certainly recommend them!
23 January 2021 21:14
I’m an architect passionate about Persian rugs and I definitely recommend Rashad’s shop as the best place to buy and fix carpets in the UAE!
31 December 2020 12:53
I bought a carpet a few years ago in store, and I have returned to buy another one online (shipping internationally). Really helpful and nice. I highly recommend
21 December 2020 14:07
Long and super happy customer. Rashad and his team will always show and explain the best options. Negotiating the price is always an exciting experience. Highly recommended.
18 December 2020 22:01
Have been twice now to buy carpets. Excellent attentive service and very happy with what I bought. Thank you.
15 December 2020 6:42
I cannot recommend a visit to Sheba carpets more highly.
It is a pleasure to go there and not only be shown the best collection of carpets but Rashad loves to share his vast knowledge of carpets and saddle bags and much more.
His honesty makes a relaxing visit knowing that the price does not have to be questioned.
Don’t miss a visit here when you are in the UAE.
26 November 2020 21:48
I highly recommended Sheba Iranian Carpets stores. I had been searching for the perfect handmade rug and this company showed up online. After reading all the positive recommendations I decided to give the owner a call and he sent on some photos of rugs I liked. Rashad took my details and I paid by card. This beautiful rug arrived five days later. It looks much more beautiful and vibrant than you could imagine. The quality is superior and it feels so warm now that winter is approaching. Because of all the restrictions with the pandemic a visit overseas to the shop would not be possible. Having the rug delivered from overseas is the way to go. Honest and trustworthy vendor and very reasonable prices. This rug would be double or treble the price in Ireland. Thanks Rashad.
16 November 2020 10:30
Sheba are a fantastic carpet store and repairer/cleaning service. I’ve bought six carpets from them over the last eight years with amazing customer service. Visiting their store is a wonderful experience and they will even bring a selection to your home to allow you to see what they will look like in your space. I’ve also had my antique 1920’s Shiraz carpets cleaned and repaired by them. The new carpets I bought are wonderful and fit perfectly with our antique ones. The antique ones came back amazingly bright after cleaning and the repairs were invisible!
15 September 2020 20:17
For years we have had the pleasure of doing business with Rashad at Sheba Iranian Carpets. He has an extensive selection of older collectables and unique pieces that adorn my floors on two continents. He's a pleasure to work with, always on time, treats his clients very well while making carpet buying fun. Thank you, Rashad!
01 September 2020 20:35
We had a stain on our Persian carpet that we were told wouldn’t be removed. But Rashad assured us that he would be able to do the job. And he did! The carpet came back to us brand new, and we were so grateful. We highly recommend Sheba Iranian Carpets! Thank you Rashad for your kindness as-well.
16 May 2020 2:02
Had a great experience here at Sheba Iranian Carpets in Sharjah. This was my second time to visit this shop and it didn't disappoint. The owner went to great lengths explaining the technique involved in the making of the carpets, which can take many months, depending on the size of the knots per cm. The wool and/or silk used is dyed with natural products, is flame resistant and is chemical-free; good news for anybody with allergies.
10 April 2020 3:36
I was visiting the United Arab Emirates with my family. We found Sheba Iranian Carpets stores online as there were excellent reviews about it. Rashad was very helpful and knowledgeable. He explained all about the different types of handmade carpets, and believe me there are many. We enjoyed having mint tea in the shop. After our purchase Rashad dropped us back at our hotel. This is the best Persian carpet shop in the UAE and well worth the journey from Dubai. I would highly recommended a visit.
11 March 2020 9:23
Rashad and his team at Sheba provide a fantastic service. They have a great selection of carpets and Kelims and are happy to help you find exactly what you are looking for, at a reasonable price. Knowledgeable, friendly and highly recommended
29 February 2020 20:06
They have the greatest carpet variety Different kind of pattern, great sizes good for the floor, you can select in the pocket family.it’s located on gold souq sharjah
08 February 2020 4:50
Amazing carpets and service by Rashad and his team. Informed us of all the different materials, styles and grades and provided a certicate of origin. Definitely recommend.
13 January 2020 5:36
I have purchased numerous carpets from Sheba Iranian Carpets & Antiques Stores and have known Rashad Al Gazaly, the proprietor, for over 15 years. My relationship with Rashad first developed when I lived in the UAE from 2002-2005, and we have continued to stay in touch over the years. I always make a point to visit Rashad when I come through the UAE. Sheba Iranian Carpets boats a wide selection of carpets, and Rashad is a delight to negotiate and spend time with. He is extremely personable and always offers fair prices. I find him trustworthy and consider him a friend. I highly recommend Sheba Iranian Carpets & Antiques Stores to anyone visiting Sharjah for carpets shopping.
25 December 2019 6:24
Very highly recommended! High quality and beautiful handmade carpets. Been dealing with them for years, service is excellent and can't be measured. Most specially the extra mile they do to give service to their customers.
22 December 2019 1:04
This was our first experience at buying hand made iranian rugs. I can only thank Rashad for being patient with us (and my mother in law!), and for never pressuring us. Extremely welcoming, tries to find something in your budget, your preference, all with a smile and an amazing team on site to display different options. Thank you again for your warm welcome and friendship. (we ended up buying two!)
22 December 2019 0:35
I would highly recommend buying your carpets from here. I am staying in Abu Dhabi and heard about Sheba Carpets online and decided to contact them. Rashad was quick to reply and had arranged for a selection of carpets to my specifications brought to my apartment in Abu Dhabi. His cousin Jalal brought so many and was very professional and patient with me while I decided. I'm very happy with my purchase and the reasonable price compared to many other sellers I had met.
19 December 2019 22:13
Sheba Iranian Carpets stores is a highly reputable Persian rug store that i visited many times at Central Souk in Sharjah. I have bought a number of Persian carpets from them and always take my visitors. It is always a lovely experience dealing with Rashad, Mohammed and Jalal. I can highly recommend Sheba carpets.
18 December 2019 15:36
Exceptional costumer service! By far the best shop in quality, variety and costumer care! I would highly recommend to buy their carpets! Best in beauty, comfort and service! Sheba team comes to your door steps with not one, but up to 10 carpets in the shape or style you want and let you choose! They carefully place your chosen carpet and leave it with you to see it during day and evening light, and if you are happy you keep it for a fantastic price! Further more Mr. Rashad will take personal care and make sure you are happy no matter what! Sheba Iranian Carpets are the most professional carpet traders in the Emirates! Thank you and I will always be your costumer!
17 December 2019 6:06
I had such a great experience purchasing from this store. I went to visit the shop in person to check the carpets, but they made it even better bringing to my place a bunch of options of the size that I needed for my meditation space based on the colors of my preference. I had the chance to try them all on in my own apartment before deciding which one to buy. I call this VIP treatment! Thanks Jalal for being very attentive and responsive. Great doing business with you guys!
24 November 2019 12:52
Great Selection, knowledgeable salesman and fair prices. Basically everything you can wish for as a customer. The only issue I have: unfortunately, the carpets don’t fly.
23 November 2019 9:09
Extremely honest and knowledgeable staff. Opened and viewed carpets with me for a little over an hour. In the end, I bought a handmade 6' x 9' wool carpet I am very happy with. Would definitely recommend.
14 November 2019 16:50
Jalal did an excellent job. He practically restored two carpets that were absolutely ruined due to a water damage. They had lost their original colours and were practically just pink. The colours are back plus he repaired one carpet with the utmost accuracy.
12 November 2019 20:01
We can get good and cheaper IRANIAN & TURKISH and other country's Carpets & center peacis i recommend to all visit one time
12 November 2019 7:29
I have been visiting this carpet vendor for last 6-7 years. I am 100% happy with there service, knowledge & willingness to understand client taste and showing the carpets accordingly. I found this vendor an honest and helpful man. I would highly recommend anyone looking for carpet to check them out.
10 November 2019 2:58
The best prices, the best quality, the best service, everything about this place is amazing. This is by far the best place to buy Iranian carpets. Highly recommended.
31 October 2019 8:28
I love going to Sheba Iranian carpets. The service is amazing. You will always be able to find a carpet in your specific budget. You can trust that the carpets are authentic and of a very good quality. You can trust in the assurance you get.
28 October 2019 19:34
The carpets are fantastic
Great variety and also modern design available
Warm welcome from the team!
I spent a great moment very authentic!
It is a must to visit this store and meetthe owner Rashad!
19 October 2019 23:36
We bought our Iranian rugs back in 2015, and we love them! Rashad was amazing and incredibly knowledgable and helpful. He even invited us to an Iftar during Ramadan with another family, and everything was absolutely awesome. He was wonderful to do business with, and we still remember our encounter quite fondly. We love our rugs and would highly recommend Rashad and the Sheba Iranian Carpets business in Dubai!
18 October 2019 12:54
I have been going to the souq in Sharjah since the year 2000. It is one of my most favorite markets. In my mind the most difficult thing when buying a high price item and a product we are not terribly knowledgeable about is finding an honest seller. Not being misled is key. Rashad is knowledgeable and honest. I only wish I had met him sooner.
16 October 2019 10:56
So I was with my dad in Dubai looking for a place to buy mainly all the carpets for our new apartment in Lisbon and after looking a few places I found Shaba, in this little nice souk. I was taken care amazingly by the owner, i had an amazing two days experience choosing carpets. We went over LOTs of carpets from Iran and Afghanistan. He also explained me about the hand made carpets, silk, cotton.etc. Most of the carpets I had to ship them to Lisbon, I few I took with me! They were shipped on Sunday and arrived on Monday in Lisbon! Couldn’t believe such of great service! I was impressed.
They have such of beautiful carpets! And prices were just right, after asking prices in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, the prices were great!
I could have stayed there looking and looking. I believe we spent at least 4 hours the first day and other 4-5 hours the day after. And even after wanted to buy some gold and the owner took us to a few places and bargained the price for us.
I highly recommend this store! Here are a few photos from our amazing experice! The carpets in the photo are the ones we bought. And some layed in the apartment

This was my third visit to Sheba Iranian Carpets and my second time making a purchase from here. Rashad has a good reputation and long-standing relationship with members of the expat community in Abu Dhabi. Rashad is a very welcoming, knowledgable and honest and happy to explain about the different qualities of carpet. The quality and range is great with something to suit every budget. You do not feel pressured to buy which I really appreciate.
This time I had brought my parents-in-law with me as they were visiting from Australia and they selected a very beautiful old Isfahan design from Iran. I selected a wool carpet from Afganistan and as I was unsure he allowed me to try the carpet in my home in Abu Dhabi before purchasing.
Great service and I would highly recommend. Love my new carpet!
01 August 2019 11:13
Sheba Iranian carpets store is well worth a visit. I bought my first Iranian carpet there many years ago and have been collecting since. Great to revisit the shop. Rashad has an incredible inventory of magnificent Persian carpets and endless supplies of hand knotted rugs and kilims from various countries in all sizes and beautiful colors. There is something there to suit every budget. Rashad can adapt the delicate finely hand knotted silk rugs so that they hang on your wall if you prefer not to walk on them. He is a stockist of Isfahan, Nain, Tabriz, Kashan and Qom Persian carpets to name but a few. He also has a wonderful array of very large sized luxury carpets. Highly recommend a visit to Sheba Iranian Carpets.
14 July 2019 12:04
Amazing experience buying rugs from Rashad. He goes above and beyond what is considered good service. We look forward to dealing with him again
23 June 2019 11:36
As an interior designer I have purchased rugs from Sheba Iranian Carpets for many years. Rashad is VERY helpful and always understands what I am looking for. He has also accommodated us in customizing rugs by colour fading or distressing.

Rashad is a pleasure to work with and the rugs we have in our home are very special to us.
21 April 2019 3:23
I have met Mr. Rashad three years ago when I had to buy the carpets for our new office. He was so kind to come all the way to Fujairah to show what he has so we can choose. He even came two times because we change the colour preference. The variety was huge! Those carpets are so beautiful, wish I have one once in my house. Anyway, it was pleasant to deal with Mr. Rashad, he was very professional and honest about the quality and price. So the carpets were bought, the boss was happy and I got a new friend. I was lucky to visit Mr. Rashad's shop in Blue Souq in Sharjah few weeks ago. You enter inside and you want to buy once of these beautiful carpets, really! So if you need a combination of good quality and price, go to Sheba Iranian Carpets. You will also feel overwhelming hospitality! For which I am very thankful!

I lived in Dubai 20 years ago. Sheba Carpets was recommended by other expat Americans as the best place to buy beautiful carpets. My wife and I bought 6-8 beautiful carpets from Sheba then which we have enjoyed now for many years. On a recent vacation in Dubai we returned again to Sheba where we bought a beautiful Nain and two equally beautiful Afghan carpets. As 20 years before we were very pleased with the experience. When we checked in with Emirates for our return flight to the US we discovered that one carpet was 4 Kg over weight and Emirates refused to check. It was midnight, freight was closed, we escalated thru Emirates but were not successful. At that point out family was distraught. I couldn't think of anything to do so called Rashad. Amazingly he answered, said he would come to the airport in 30 minutes and collect the carpet and ship - which he did! Now that's Customer Service!
02 March 2019 3:57
During a holiday to the United Arab Emirates. I decided I needed to buy a handmade carpet - that is one of the things a tourist to UAE must do. I had absolutely no idea of what to look for as it was my first time buying one of these works of art. After a look around the shops in Dubai, I took a friends advice and headed off to Sharjah. At the Blue Souk in Sharjah- which is also called the Central Market - Gold Souk or Souk al Markesi, there are many carpet shops. Most of the vendors or salesmen eagerly try to get you in to their shops. I wandered into a few shops and really loved all of the carpets. To make a long story short - I came upon Sheba Iranian carpets. Rashad must be one of the kindest most helpful people I ever met. He explained the history of rug making and there was s story behind each beautiful carpet. Opening all of these carpet took quite a while to do but Rashad really does his best to help the customer and educate them on the origin and history of each piece. Whilst I was enjoying some complimentary mint tea, I bought a gorgeous Afghan red carpet and I love seeing it in our sitting room. I hope to go back to get a Persian carpet on our next visit. I couldn't recommend Sheba Iranian Carpets enough and it is well worth a visit.

A visit to Sheba Iranian Carpets is like a journey into The Book of One Thousand and One Nights, and Aladdin's magic carpet. Customers are spoiled for choice amongst the wide range of exquisite Persian carpets and rugs. The quality is of the highest and finest, and the shop owner, Rashad, goes to great lengths to fulfil every wish with explanations, attention to detail and showcasing these beautiful treasures. The customer is never pressured for time; on the contrary, the wide choice of finest quality carpets invites one to browse and linger whilst enjoying genuine Middle Eastern hospitality and a coffee, tea or a chat. Rashad and his staff really do go the extra mile to ensure full customer satisfaction. The service is honest and sincere without any obligation to buy. I would highly recommend this jewel of a shop to anyone looking for excellent quality Persian carpets or rugs.
29 December 2018 17:59
Decided to visit Sheba Iranian carpets stores after seeing all the rave reviews as buying a rug was on my bucket list. Called Rashad to say that I would be stopping off in Dubai for a couple of days on my way home from the far east. He very kindly picked me up from my hotel. Had an amazing experience at Rashad's shop. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows his stuff. Just when you think you've seen it all Rashad and his staff come out with a rug more beautiful than the last one. It is an Alladin's cave alright and I loved the mint tea. Rashad just couldn't do enough. Picked up a beautiful silk rug, which I will hang on the wall, and he kindly offered to ship the other one as my kg allowance wouldn't suffice. Looking forward to another trip there in the future for some more of those beautiful treasures.
I would highly recommend Rashad and Sheba Iranian Carpets.
