Traditinal products of pakistan

In Pakistan, shopping is going to be quite an experience in its own.  This is not because you have to haggle to the best of your ability but rather because of the diversity and uniqueness of the purchases you can make.
While Large cities may provide a neat shopping experience, there are likewise other places in Pakistan that will provide a shopping experience unequalled anywhere.
This may have come from the fact that Pakistan is the home of many wonderful arts and crafts.  Most of these crafts are hand made to perfection. 
Here are some of the possible souvenirs you can bring home from Pakistan
  • Hand woven carpets with traditional designs and natural colors.  They will last longer than other carpets you find in the market because the fabrics are made of special materials only available in Pakistan.

  • Wood works.  If you are in search of intricate wood crafts, it is only in Pakistan that you will find the best.  They are mostly hand carved and designed with special calligraphy that will be a lovely adornment to your home.

  • Embroidered kurtas and khussas.  Traditional clothings finely embroidered by hand are likewise available when you go shopping in Pakistan.  They are beautiful especially if you combine them with equally embroidered shawls.
