Rabwahربوہ
Spend a half‑day in Rabwah to see the Ahmadiyya sites; add a full day if you want sports or river activities.
Rabwah (Chenab Nagar) is a small town in Punjab, home to the Ahmadiyya community headquarters and several religious and sports sites. Most attractions are within walking distance, so a half‑day covers the main mosques and library; a full day allows sports, river rowing and local market visits.
