Qais Akbar Omar (born 1982) is an Afghan-American writer. Omar is the author of A Fort of Nine Towers, an autobiography of his childhood in Afghanistan during the years of the civil war and the Taliban from 1992–2001. To date, A Fort of Nine Towers has been published in over twenty languages.
Omar comes from a family of carpet traders. He is the owner of Kabul Carpets, a fourth-generation family business. Omar was born in 1982. When he was ten years old, the civil war broke out in Afghanistan following the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989. At the age of twelve, Omar learned the art of carpet-weaving from a teacher whom he writes about in A Fort of Nine Towers, and during the years of the Taliban he ran a secret carpet factory in his home. Omar worked as an interpreter for the US military. He also worked for the UN, and served as a textiles specialist for USAID and the Asian Development Bank, helping carpet weavers across Afghanistan.
