Multan is also famous for its blue pottery, sohan halwa and shrines, and the Cantt area has the city's more modern shopping. Here is where to go and what to bring home.

Hussain Agahi Bazar Multan

Hussain Agahi is Multan's oldest and busiest bazaar, a maze of lanes near the Ghanta Ghar selling clothes, fabric, shoes, bangles and household goods at bazaar prices. It is the best place in the city to shop for Multani khussa. There is also a landa (second-hand clothes) section that gets busy in winter.

What is Multan famous for?

Multan's crafts and food are known across Pakistan.

Multani khussa — embroidered leather shoes in bright colours.
Blue pottery (kashi) — hand-painted tiles, plates and vases in blue and white.
Camel-skin lamps — painted lamps that glow warm when lit.
Sohan halwa — the city's famous sweet.
Shrines and architecture — the tile work of the old shrines inspired the blue pottery.

Buying Multani khussa

A good khussa is soft leather inside, with neat, tight embroidery. Try both shoes on — handmade pairs can differ slightly — and expect them to feel snug at first; leather khussa softens and stretches with wear. Ask whether the sole is leather or synthetic, since that changes comfort and price.

Buying blue pottery

Real hand-painted blue pottery has small variations in the brushwork; perfectly identical pieces are usually printed. Check the glaze for cracks, tap gently to hear a clear ring, and wrap pieces well for travel.

dapxop's Pottery & Ceramics section lists handmade pieces from small makers.

Before you go

Multan is hot for much of the year.

Shop the old city in the morning, before the heat.
Carry water and small notes.
Bargain politely in the bazaar.

⚠️ Careful here

Market timings in Pakistan change — city governments set closing times, many markets close one day a week, and Ramadan and Eid change everything. Check the day before you go (a quick call to a shop you know works best), rather than relying on a timing printed online.

Shop online from anywhere
