Multan is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in South Asia, and its dense concentration of Sufi shrines has earned it the nickname "City of Saints", a different kind of Pakistan travel experience centred on devotional culture and centuries-old craft traditions rather than mountains or Mughal grandeur.

How many days: 1-2 days covers Multan itself well, the shrines of Shah Rukn-e-Alam and Bahauddin Zakariya, the old city, and a blue pottery workshop visit. It combines naturally with Bahawalpur (2-3 hours away) for a fuller southern Punjab heritage circuit.

When to go: November through February, without real exception. Multan is one of the hottest cities in Pakistan in summer, regularly exceeding 45°C from May through August, this isn't a season to visit unless unavoidable.

Getting there: Domestic flights connect Multan to Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad; it's also reachable by road or rail from Lahore, roughly 4-5 hours.

What it costs: A private 2-day Multan and Bahawalpur combined tour runs roughly PKR 25,000-35,000 per person including hotel, transport and guide.

One thing people underestimate: Multan's blue pottery (kashi kari) is a genuine centuries-old craft tradition, not tourist-shop souvenir work, watching it hand-painted is worth building into your itinerary, not just buying the finished piece.
