Saveh ساوه

Saveh is a city of Markazi province in central Iran. A large group of the Turkic Khalaj settled in the mountains south-west of the city, where a district is still called Khalajestan, and many have kept their tribal identity. Our Saveh runners and the kilims titled Khalaj are their work.
