We navigated out of Multan and to the final stop before the Indian border: Lahore. It was the night of a huge religious festival; everywhere was a whirling tumult of sights and sounds, with men and women, and men dressed as women, spinning around to live music and dancing under showers of banknotes, thrown over them for luck. Hardly being inconspicuous, we were spotted by the organisers of the Suficelebration and ushered up to take pride of place on the large stage erected in the town centre. The Foreign Office advice for Pakistan – 'Avoid large gatherings, avoid religious celebrations and do not draw attention to yourself' – flashed through my head as we nervously sat down, in direct view of the thousands of attendees, but it was soon pushed to the back of my mind as we were immersed in the celebrations. It seemed a world away from the pious Islamic rules of Iran.
