« on: April 01, 2019, 12:22:23 PM »I've never personally been there but husband stayed there for months with a bunch of other young Jewish boys, as he was waiting for refugee status from the UN office there, after being smuggled out of Iran over their border into Pakistan. Many of the cities he traveled through have now been taken over by the Taliban. Also, from what he said, it's just SO poor and chaotic and smelly and gross. If you want that environment you could go to India and at least they have cool cultural stuff. As far as my husband is concerned, he says you should consider traveling there just like you would Afghanistan...there was a reason Osama Bin Laden was safe there! Remember Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded in Pakistan. Someone would just need to pull you into a car and drive a couple hours to Taliban country. I would consider Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iran much safer than Pakistan because davka they have big tourism sectors and have authoritarian governments that seem to have better security control.Thank you!
If you are going for business reasons and only in Islamabad, have your business contact hire you a trustworthy driver, bodyguard, etc., you could probably make it work but be forewarned about how it is there.
I didn't know it was that terrible
