Albania has a wide range of handmade goods that can be taken home as souvenirs. One of these is the qilim, which is more or less a handwoven rug.
These traditional Albanian rugs are beautifully crafted with intricate patterns and pay homage to Albanian culture and art. Truly a wonderful addition to your treasury of souvenirs from Albania.
You can find plenty of shops in Albania where a qilim is sold. The old bazaar in Kruja, a very significant historical town in Albania, sells these.
Kruja is only an hour away from Tirana and this could be an exciting road trip as well. You would find many artisans in the bazaar, making the qilim.
