Moroccan carpets are very diverse. There are various Berber tribes in Morocco, which in turn have a variety of subgroups. Each of these groups has its own methods and traditions for making carpets. What they all have in common is that the production of the carpets is in the hands of women.
The Beni Ouarain is produced in the Middle Atlas. This carpet owes its name to its makers. The Beni Ouarain Berbers belong to the Schlöh tribe, who get their wool from a highland sheep whose wool has white or brown tones. The Beni Ouarain is the most well-known carpet from Morocco. Due to its simple colors and abstract ornamentation, it is a highly sought-after object among interior designers.
