What are Moroccan rugs called?
Moroccan rugs are sometimes called Berber rugs. All authentic antique and vintage Moroccan rugs are made by Berber tribes.

You may hear a Moroccan rug being referred to as a Beni Ourain rug. Beni Ourain is a group of tribes from the Middle Atlas known for neutral rugs, which traditionally used undyed wool. The most popular tribal weaving traditions in the world of Moroccan rug-making include Azilal, Beni Mguild, Beni Ourain, Boucherouite, kilim and Tuareg mats.
