Question

What should I wear casually?

Answer

When you’re out and about in Pakistan, modesty is the norm. For women, it’s best to wear clothing that covers shoulders, chest, and knees—think maxi dresses, long skirts, loose trousers, or jeans with a tunic or flowy top. A light scarf is handy if you want to be extra respectful in more traditional areas. For men, pants or jeans with short- or long-sleeved shirts are completely fine; shorts are less common in public.

Question

Do I need to visit my doctor before traveling to Pakistan?

Answer

Yes, we recommend visiting your doctor before your trip. Ask if you should receive any vaccinations (such as Hepatitis A or Typhoid) and discuss whether you may need medications like anti-nausea tablets, antibiotics, or antimalarial pills. Your doctor can also advise on any personal health precautions to make sure you’re comfortable and prepared for travel.
