In order to fly on a Magic Carpet, you must hail NPCs simply named "a nomadic carpet keeper"
Magic Carpets were introduced as a form of transportation with the release of Desert of Flames. This article refers to the automated mode of travel to within the Sinking Sands and to Maj'Dul. If you are looking for information on the player equipped magic carpets, see the page about mounts.
With the major revamp of the travel system in 2011, the Magic Carpets now only provide transportation to and from locations within the Sinking Sands and smaller, related zones like Pillars of Flame. Carpet rides to and from external locations have been eliminated and replaced with travel via the Globe of Swift Travel.

Overview[]
In order to fly on the carpet near the Sinking Sands dock (Port of Tears), you must now hail a NPC near a magic carpet, simply named "a nomadic carpet keeper". The same is true for areas within the Sinking Sands, however, you only need to click an actual carpet when you want to leave the city of Maj'Dul. To get to some of the zones deeper inside of Sinking Sands, you will need to take a carpet ride from the dock to reach them. There are potential enemies near many of the carpet locations, so proceed with caution.
