Raja Bazaar is in Rawalpindi. Seething with people, you will discover ally ways stacked with good things to buy: Flowers, fabric, pots and pans, food, sewing machines, and anything your heart desires. Its the atmosphere which is intoxicating. I could have bought 12 tea cups for $1 Australian dollar - but alas i couldnt carry them home.
karachi and the lahore bazzaar anarkali is the place to shop however every city or town has all goods on sale the main ones are the best. avoid copy dvds as the customs will take them off you and copy watches as the u.k immigration will take them off you

I adore flowers and in Islamabad I found this wonderful flower market. Naturally all the vendors vie for your business but that is half the fun. These bunches of flowers were huge and soooo cheap. This bunch i am holding was $3AUD and in my home city of Sydney I would have paid $70AUD for the same size. So, if you are staying in ISB for more than a week do yourself a favour and purchase some gorgeous flowers.
I love pashminas and have a nice collection, so when in Pakistan i have a ball searching for more. Any market or bazaar will have more than enough to choose from and the attendants are only too happy to open every one and spread them for you to see.I bought mine in Jinnah markets in Islamabad.
I took my spectales prescription with me to Islamabad and purchased 2 pairs of glasses (frames and lenses) for $28AUD - a saving of $600AUD, yes $600AUD ready in 24 hours. Also 2 pair of sunglasses for under $20 AUD. Masoods in Melody Market, Islamabad.

Handi crafts of different regions of Pakistan are unique in the world and must to buy while visiting Pakistan. Leather garments, pottery, shawls, traditional shoes, brass crafts, marble pieces, ceramics, embroidered clothes, sindhi ajrak, jewellary, wooden crafts, embriodary, etc. etc.
While in the city Multan, the Mangoes of Shujabad district are the best in the world. Apart from this, Multani khussa (shoes); embroidered clothes for ladies; embroidered cholas for men; earthenware pottery, painted potter, camel skin ware (e.g. lamps); carpets wooden products, especial lacquered wood are all best buys for tourists.
In Lahore the Anarkali Bazaar is the most fascinating. The alleys and lanes of this bazaar are full of exciting wares, especially traditional crafts like leatherwear, embroided garments, glass bangles, beaten gold and silver jewelry, creation in silk- anything that you wish to bargain. It is named after the Akbar's Courtesan called Anarkali, Who, according to legend was put to death by Emperor Akbar for having a love affair with prince Salim, Later known as Jehangir. Old brass and copper are another good buy from the shops around the Charing Cross. Some good buys can be found in the brass bazaar in the old city but it is difficult to find and is usually unpolished or still coated in tin. Brass is poisonous and cannot be used for food until tinned. Other Shopping areas in Lahore may include the Sarafa Bazaar, Copper and Brass Bazaar, Kashmiri Bazaar, Liberty Market etc.
