My experiences as a female tourist in Pakistan
Now, as a young woman, I'll review my trip to Pakistan. First of all, I noticed that Pakistan isn't governed by Sharia law. I was expecting a stricter Sharia law, but I discovered it's a much more relaxed country. I saw more transgender people than I've seen in Europe, and they were all moving around very freely. They can't move around this freely in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or even Türkiye.
Additionally, Pakistan has a terrible accommodation system. Scam Airbnb owners try to rent out their dilapidated houses at exorbitant prices. Most hotels don't accept guests from foreign countries. If I find good accommodation, I will visit again. If the Pakistani government solved these kinds of problems, they would attract many more tourists. People are generally very helpful. Also, some low-quality young European men go to Pakistan and make vlogs. I think these videos belittle people in Pakistan. I advise people not to be too kind to those making these videos. Overall, I stayed for a very short time, but if I find good accommodation, I will go back to Pakistan and stay longer.
