Subjects : Peshawar is the oldest living city in South Asia, where different cultures and religions evolved and traces of this rich history are still visible. You can photograph both historical sites and people. In addition, Peshawar, near the border with Afghanistan, is the capital of the province of the tribal areas administered by the federal government and an important cultural and economic center, so it is a very lively city where you can meet many people of different ethnicities and origins. Walking in the old town you have numerous opportunities for interesting meetings to be able to make portraits set and reportage of everyday life.

Recommended equipment : Using the tripod can be difficult, the narrow streets are narrow and the heavy traffic. For reportage photography fixed and bright optics are ideal. Lightweight and handy equipment allows you to capture scenes of everyday life and at the same time take home beautiful portraits.

Best months : The best time to visit Peshawar is between October and March, when the weather is generally cool. In summer it is very hot, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees.

How to get there : Several airlines arrive in Peshawar, making a stopover in Doha, Dubai or Islamabad. Otherwise you can reach Peshawar by bus or car from Islamabad: the two cities are 186 km away, which are covered with about 3 hours by car. Renting a car with a driver is simple and cheap.

Visits : The three markets "Khyber Bazaar", "Qissa Bazaar" and "Chitrali Bazaar" have shops and stalls open all day, unless it is Ramadan time. The "Mahabat Khan" mosque is open from 8 am to 9 pm, but women are not allowed to enter during the Islamic liturgy. "Sethi House" is open from 9 am to 4 pm and the entrance costs 500 rupees, but you have to pay another ticket to have permission to photograph inside the structure. "Balahisar Fort" is a historic fortress with limited access, so I recommend inquiring directly on the spot. "All Saints Church" is a Christian church open from 9 am to 3 pm. "Peshawar Museum" is open from 9 am to 4 pm, the ticket costs 500 rupees but also in this structure you have to add a small fee to bring the camera.
