 | | Konya is known for its handwoven carpets and other manufactures, including sugar, flour, textiles, leather goods, and aluminum. |
 | | Konya has a growing tourist trade, due largely to its numerous attractions, such as orchards, irrigated gardens, several mosques, and the monastery of the mystical sect known as the Maulawiyah, or whirling dervishes. |
 | | Though Konya declined during the Ottoman period, it was revived again following the construction in 1896 of the Istanbul-Baghdad railroad, which passes through the city. |
