Rural Sindh is conservative and travel here is by road only: go with a local driver, keep to daylight hours, dress modestly and ask before photographing people or the mosque. Summer heat above 45 °C (113 °F) is the main real risk; Jacobabad district has a history of unrest and kidnappings — check current government advice and your insurer before committing.Rural Sindh is conservative and travel here is by road only: go with a local driver, keep to daylight hours, dress modestly and ask before photographing people or the mosque.
