The magic carpet is a transportation method in the Kharidian Desert where magical rugs are used to safely traverse the desert. The magic carpet system is operated by Rug Merchants.
There are two major hubs from which the carpets travel - Shantay Pass and South Pollnivneach. Carpets can travel in both directions between destinations, but other carpet destinations will only travel to one of these two hubs.
The carpets require 200 coins to use, but this falls to 100 coins when using the Ring of Charos(a) or after having started the Rogue Trader miniquest. If both conditions are met, the price is reduced to 75 coins.
After completing the hard Desert Diary, all magic carpet rides become free of charge.
