An interesting general idea. As you know, they still use pennanulars. 
Look at all the relevant period pictures you can before you go, and 
then see what you can find.

Keep an eye out for my rope bed. Someone told me he saw it in a 
National Geographic piece on (modern) Afghanistan, with a truck 
driver sleeping in it.

Look for someone making jewelery with traditional equipment--then see 
if you can find someone selling the equipment in the bazaar.

Tents? Camel hair tents?

You should have fun.
