Ganni is based outside of Almaty, but has been selling carpets to Almaty residents for over 18 years. He has a wide range of Afghan, Kazakh, Turkish and Uzbek carpets that he will gladly display in the privacy of your hotel, though he originally gained his good reputation selling at ex-pat ‘carpet parties’. Ganni is happy to help with certifying carpets for export but doesn’t speak much English.
