Customs in Pakistan

In addition to white trousers and various coats, Pakistani men wear a fur hat called "Jinnahao" in winter. Women dress up according to the requirements of Islam and cover their whole bodies with robes, trousers and blouses.

Most Pakistani women wear headscarves differently from Arab women. They don't wrap their ears and hair tightly with headscarves, just put a thin scarf loosely on their heads and put the hanging part on their shoulders or chest.

Only women in backward and very conservative families, such as some mountainous areas, will wear the kind of "mask" that only leaves a few holes in their eyes or looks like a knitted "mesh" when they travel.

Pakistanis like to eat spicy food, and their curry food made of pepper and turmeric is famous all over the world. Most Pakistani dishes, whether meat, fish, beans or vegetables, are spicy, and kimchi is also spicy. They don't have the habit of cooking, whether beef, mutton, fish or all kinds of beans and vegetables are cooked thoroughly.

The staple food of Pakistanis is flour and rice, and a kind of coarse flour cake called "Chabati" is the most popular, as well as oil cake and fried potato stuffing "triangle". People usually eat western snacks and bread, too. Rice is often mixed with various seasonings to make butter pilaf and meat pilaf.

The state religion of Pakistan is Islam, and Muslims account for 95% of the country's total population. A few people believe in Christianity, Hinduism and Sikhism.
