One of Iran's many nomad cultures

The Qashquis are a nomadic tribe who live mostly in Fars, in southern Iran. They are known in the Middle East for their beautiful and intricate saddle and rug designs, and for raising sheep for high quality wool (used in their designs.) Here are some pictures of these fascinating people, dressed in their colorful native costumes.
