Planning your Pakistan trip

Scams to watch for in Pakistan
- Inflated taxi and rickshaw faresDrivers quote a high price or leave the fare unclear until you arrive. Many taxis and rickshaws have no meter. In Lahore, drivers may charge more when you are clearly foreign or do not speak Punjabi or Urdu. A higher night fare alone does not mean you are being scammed.
- Higher shopping prices for visitorsA seller starts with a high price and expects bargaining. In Karachi, visitors from outside the city may be quoted double or triple prices. Foreigners shopping for handicrafts in Islamabad may also face a higher starting price. In Multan's Hussain Agahi market, accepting the first price can mean a poor deal.
- Poor-quality goods sold at high pricesSome sellers charge high prices for goods of poor quality. Shoppers who do not know the product or normal price are easier to mislead.
