Peshawar is located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in Pakistan. Outsiders normally don’t think of it as a safe place, but as far as I know, one can have many privileges compared to other cities. Locals, called the Pashtuns, are renowned for their hospitality. Inhabitants do enjoy access to better education, electricity, Natural Gas and other natural resources. Life here is actually pretty good, considering better living conditions, residential places etc.

This city is absolutely beautiful, but because of the pollution here and most people being illiterate, i would recommend not moving to this city. The people here can be friendly if your behavior with them is good, but that is not always the case as many people here are greedy for money and some can actually cross the boundaries to earn money which leads to you getting scammed.
