Other Tourist Scams in Lahore

Photography Bribe Demand at Historical Sites

Unofficial individuals positioned at entrances to Lahore Fort, Badshahi Mosque, and Wazir Khan Mosque demand payment to allow photography or claim that a special photography permit is required beyond the standard admission ticket. Official rules at these WCLA-managed sites do not prohibit visitor photography for personal use. The demand is a fabrication designed to extract small bribes from tourists.
