About Russia

For Pakistani travellers, Russia is a unique and rewarding destination. Moscow and St Petersburg have Muslim communities and halal options, and Kazan, in Tatarstan, is widely known for its Muslim heritage. A high-speed train makes it simple to move between the two main cities.

The most popular route is the classic combination of Moscow and St Petersburg, covering Red Square, the Kremlin, royal palaces and canals in one itinerary. If you have more time, you can add Kazan, the Golden Ring, the Black Sea resort of Sochi, or the winter scenery of Lake Baikal.

SaffarGuru handles visa guidance, flights, hotels, internal transfers and local arrangements so you can enjoy the trip without the stress. Every package can be adjusted to your dates, budget and group size.
