Peshawar's bazaars are the real event — Silk Road markets where you'll find hand-loomed shawls, Peshawari chappals, copperware, dry fruit and green tea, all wrapped in centuries of trade. For brands and air conditioning, a few modern malls do the job. Both reward an unhurried afternoon.
Here's where to start, from the lanes to the malls. Every one is a real, open listing on Mulk.
Qissa Khwani Bazaar
The Storytellers' Bazaar — green tea, dry fruit, textiles and copperware in a fragrant, historic maze. The definitive Peshawar shopping experience.
