Practical tips for Pakistan
- The currency is the Pakistani Rupee (PKR); always keep cash on hand for street food, bazaars, and tips, as cards are rarely accepted outside luxury venues.
- Download ride-hailing apps like Careem, Indrive, and Yango for hassle-free, metered rides in major cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad.
- Dress modestly by keeping shoulders and knees covered; women should carry a light scarf (dupatta) to cover their heads when visiting mosques and holy shrines.
Fun fact about Pakistan
