Not much if you are not accompanied by locals, locals know there way around so it’s safe with them. There are a lot of safe neighbourhoods, you just need to know and have knowledge about where you are going

Karachi is well not safe that way, especially for women. You cannot walk outdoors at any time. You need to find people you are comfortable with and feel safe around, mostly other girls/women. If you have a higher budget, hiring or being in safe spaces is easier.

I gave a pretty poor rating to my city but it is not all bad and I would like to elaborate why. The threat varies from area to area and on how you are living your life. I am a 21 year old woman and I go to and from university in an auto alone almost everyday and I feel 100% safe. I always return around 8-9pm which is pretty dark and do not try to cover myself or anything due to any fears. This is because majority of the auto drivers in Karachi have been providing this service for women who are not able to drive their own cars for DECADES and most of them try to make the passengers feel safe....

About me

Hi y'all. This is waniya this side. I have joined this community as a travel begginer. I haven't been to a lot of places, just Saudia Arabia twice, but I had stayovers at Bahrain and Qatar airports and hotels for a day or so. However, I have a lot of places on my travel list, that I hope on travelling to in the coming years. I hope I can make friends and contacts with loads of girlies here, and try hosting them as well as becoming their guests.
