Despite a rich history, Multan is a gritty, practical city with a population of 1.827 million as of 2017. The tax burden is heavy, and bureaucracy is a persistent headache, while the climate features scorching summers that can reach 50°C. However, the city remains an important trading and commercial hub, thanks to its strategic location and well-developed transportation network. Multan is best suited for those seeking economic opportunities, not an idyllic tourist destination.
