A Russian travel blogger visited Pakistan and talked about the requirements for the appearance of women in this Muslim country. He shared his story on a personal blog called TravelManiac on the Zen platform.
The author of the publication noted that the degree of strictness and closeness of women’s clothing differs greatly in different cities. “For example, in Peshawar, you rarely see not only a woman’s face, but even her eyes. They are dressed as strictly as possible,” the Russian described local customs in these words, adding that women in this city wear headscarves with a dense mesh over their eyes.

According to the blogger, in other Pakistani cities, such as Islamabad and Rawalpindi, women may have clothes with only an eye slit or with a completely open face. He stressed that not all hijabs are strictly black: there are light-colored fabrics and even bright ones.
In addition, the traveler noticed that in some cities of this country you can meet girls with their heads uncovered. “And none of the men reproach them, do not tsk, do not look at them with disapproving glances,” he was surprised.
Earlier, the same travel blogger talked about tuning Pakistani minibuses. He explained that local residents are converting their vehicles, for example, into rockets with tanks on the roof.
