Mahmoud's Flying Carpets is a shop in the Goblin Market in Chicago, Illinois that specializes in flying carpets. Their advertisement posters feature the latest imports from Asia and promise “a soft comfortable ride with every design, infinitely more stable than a broom,” accompanied by an animated picture of an entire family enjoying a picnic while seated on a flying carpet, while decidedly uncomfortable-looking wizards riding brooms fly past them, grimacing and looking envious. Mahmoud's regularly engages in price-wars with Chicago's Broom Megastore, which is located across the street.
