Local Tips
Carry cash as most places do not accept cards. Dress modestly, especially in public places. Public transport options are limited, so consider using taxis.
Cultural Etiquette
Dress code is conservative: long sleeves and trousers for men, headscarf and loose clothing for women. Tipping is not obligatory but appreciated in restaurants and taxis. Always greet with 'Salam' and respect local customs.
Safety Warnings
Exercise caution near the border areas due to smuggling activity. Avoid isolated areas at night and secure valuables at all times. Some regions may have a stronger military or police presence.
Hidden Gems
Visit the historic Qanat wells outside the city, shop for traditional Baluchi embroidery at local markets, and explore the old caravanserai ruins nearby.
