Pashawar is Pakistan’s third largest city and has experienced rapid industrial development as it has expanded into a major growth centre with high economic activity. Now you can discover this vibrant city for yourself with flights to Faisalabad with Qatar Airways. But while commerce may be the engine that powers this prosperous city, there is also plenty to see and do for visitors flying to Faisalabad. From its reputation as the ‘Manchester of Pakistan’ thanks to its textile industry, through to peaceful parks, busy markets and iconic landmarks, Faisalabad is an eclectic destination with plenty of surprises.
Home to no fewer than eight bazaars and the iconic clock tower, Ghanta Ghar is the main market in Faisalabad and a must-see during your trip to Faisalabad. It is also lined with a series of architecturally striking buildings dating back to the British Raj period that lasted until 1948. D Ground is Faisalabad’s second-busiest market and is open in the evening, making it a delightfully different shopping experience and well worth a look if you want to discover the real spirit of this bustling city. The Am Tex Waterfall is definitely worth a visit during your trip to Faisalabad. This man-made waterfall is distinctive and very different from the usual tourist attractions. Textile production played a hugely important part in the development of the city, and is still an active part of the economy.
If there’s one thing you must try during your trip to Faisalabad, it’s the samosas. Reported to be the best in Pakistan, Faisalabad’s samosas are spicy, delicious and sold as street food on nearly every corner. Gourmet versions are available in the more upmarket restaurants. Also try Dahi Bhalle (fried lentil balls served with yoghurt and chutneys) and Gol Gappe, which are flour balls filled with black grams, onions and potatoes, and then fried. International cuisine is also available, and Chinese food is a particular favourite in the city with plenty of restaurants serving good quality food. There are also plenty of fast food outlets for snacks on the go. Rabri is the favoured drink in Faisalabad – a mixture of peanuts, almonds and a selection of dried fruits in milk. Shopping in Faisalabad If you’re looking for textiles and good quality leather goods then Faisalabad is the place to head. Some of the more exclusive fashion outlets can be found around D Ground, while the markets and bazaars of Ghanta Ghar are a great place to look for bargains. Travel to Faisalabad and you’ll also discover a good selection of modern shopping malls to browse, including Hassan shopping mall, AL Fatah shopping mall and the University shopping mall.
