Unwanted Tour Guide in Lahore, Pakistan 🇵🇰
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 чер 2024
- I visited the bustling, hectic Anarkali Bazaar in the old town of Lahore, Pakistan.
There were two items that I wanted to buy in the market. First was a Jinnah cap, also known as a Karakul. It's a very distinctive type of hat that was popularised by the founding father of Pakistan, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
The second was a cricket shirt, for the local team, Lahore Qalandars.
I started exploring the bazaar, that's spilt into sections. In each section there's dozens of shops, all selling the same type of goods. This is good for the customer as you have a wide selection of the type of item you are looking to purchase. You also get a low price because the shops are having to compete with each other.
I started off my market adventure in a section where every shop was selling celebration items. Not what I was looking for but it was interesting to see.
I roamed around, asking people where the best place to buy a Jinnah hat was. I hoped to find a section where there were many shops selling hats. One man told me I must go to the Rang Mahal area.
On my way to the Rang Mahal I saw a crowd of men buying some sort of street food. Whatever it was, it seemed to be very popular. I asked a local gentleman, who told me it was pakora.
Pakora is type of fritter that's popular in India and Pakistan. It's also very popular in Scotland, at Indian restaurants, so I was aware of what it was.
Apparently the shop, Butt Pakora, is very famous in that area of Lahore, and popular, hence the huge crowd.
Whenever you see a massive crowd of local people excited to buy food, you really must try it because it's sure to be good.
I asked what the system was to order. Do I ask for how many pieces I want? Or for 1 portion, or what? I was informed that the pakora is priced based on weight, at 600 rupees per KG, but if I just give them some money, like 100 rupees, they will give me whatever weight in pakora that works out to be.
I handed over 100 rupees and asked for the vegetable pakora that I saw was being made fresh by the boss man, Mr Butt. He was mixing onion, spinach and red chili into a chickpea flour batter then throwing handfuls of it into the boiling oil.
I was given 50 rupees back by the staff, as they knew that I was trying to buy one portion for myself. A 50 rupee portion would be the correct size. And it sure was. I never through I'd get such a big bag of pakora for just $0.27 USD
The pakora was tasty. The batter was crispy with a lovely seasoning, but it wasn't fried for long, so the onion and spinach beneath the batter still tasted fresh.
With a belly full of pakora I continued my hunt for a Jinnah topi. Some friendly locals pointed me in the direction of where I should go, and a guy, who I though was one of them, started leading me. So I followed him.
After 10 minutes of him walking through the streets, pointing at things, I figured out that he was just some random guy that was trying to take me on a tour and earn some money from me.
It took me a while to realise that because the guy was deaf and mute. When I did realise, I gave him some money and gestured that I didn't need him anymore.
I feel like he tricked me into this tour. Looking back at the video footage, when the guys in the shop were pointing with their arm the direction I should go, he was standing beside them also pointing. So it was a bit of a scam and I hate to hand money over to a scammer but by the time I figured out what was happening it was a bit late. If I had figured it out in the first minute or so I would have lost the guy pretty quickly.
After getting rid of my unwanted guide, I found one shop selling the Jinnah hats. I got an idea of the different qualities available and their price but I decided to shop around before comfiting to one. This was the only shop in the area selling hats and I wanted to find the actual section where every shop is selling hats, or maybe even where they are being made.
After a lot more exploring, a pitstop for some fresh grapefruit juice, and a bit of bargaining, I eventually got the hat I was looking for at a price of 1,500 PKR ($8 USD) and I was happy.
The next task was to find the cricket t-shirt, but that was another huge mission, so you can watch that adventure on the next video.

Huge fan from india
You switched it up and posted this on fb first
Bro great video love from india
Im so impressed of how Dale knew and understood that he can’t enter the mosque with shorts. May god bless you Dale. Good man.
Yer man's been about he knows the script
what is the reason for that....?
and have u controlled your narrative yet ?
@@anonymousgaming5212 because its considered disrespectful as per the religion.. Man need to cover legs and look decent in order to pray.. U may not find it very scientific but its like that
@@kmc7876 oooh got it, that makes sense....
Anonymous Gaming the reasoning is that you need to be presentable in front of god.The same concept as if you were to wear shorts to a wedding it’d look ridiculous.

This guy's confidence and bravery is off the charts
Well not only Pakistanis but the whole subcontinental countries
It's a bit irritating when loads of unknown people stare at you for no reason
@@anhad_3230it gives me anxiety fr
@@hamna266 same man 💀
Curious people 😅
he's naive and embarrasing makes Brits look like mugs don't see how this helps anything but youtube viewers armchair voyeurism! Brave, yeah I'll give him that, or maybe foolish I guess, but he at least unlike us is out there doing something different and making money!
That vegetable pakoda guy who was guiding you was so sweet when you offered him that you will pay for him❤
Yeah it's odd..so many people trying to scam and others won't accept anything from you
Holy Moly what a nice Place to Relax on Vacation, enojying Holidays in these Countrys is a must!!!
This guy gives you 2 choices:
1.let him be your tour guide .
2.let him guide you in your tour
👂👈👉👈👉👏💸😁😍
In both India and Pakistan, the word “No” is just the beginning of negotiations.
@@rubyparchment5523 🤔😆😂
G Oye gulu butt
@@rubyparchment5523 👀😂😂😂😂😂😹
Dale I just wanted to say, thank you for the kindness you showed towards the young deaf man, I know the tour was not what you wanted, but still you gave him an opportunity to make some money, you are a man with a big heart 🙏💖💕
Odds are that he wasn't dead at all but wants tourists to pity him. Either way, dale was very generous.
@@hughmongus1813 Hahaha your right, he wasn't dead! 😂😂😂
@@SamSam24270 I'm an idiot. 😂😂🤦🏻♂️
@@thetruepatriot7733 listen little girl no one cares about your poisonous opinions! 🦧
@@thetruepatriot7733 I mean either way he showed you around a bit might as well give him some change. He didn’t seem deaf but he might’ve been mute or something
Such a fascinating video wow.
salute to see you appreciate the culture on how to enter the mosque
The child who was guiding you in 23:03 so adorable 💕
Facts!
Boy can be a model in the future
is my little brother 😊
@@user-my1qy4ob4y 😎
He is munni bajrangi bhaijan boy version
Yes he's so handsome.
Guy with the juice ripped you off ridiculously. He was extremely two faced
Dale Philips takes you directly into the streets of Pakistan. It's like you are actually there. Like an interactive 3D walkthrough. Very enjoyable!
Watching to see Dale negotiate prices. Awesome, just like my mum 😁
The guy's who were selling Orange Juice are very inresponsible , tried to do adult discussion in front of little kids but Dale Change the conversation quickly and also they ripped him with extra charges. 😡😡😡
It’s what I think but the dale give extra tipping too
@@naveedafzal3183 Dale scared
Mainly that sweeper guy was playing an self styled Pakistani tout between Dale and the juice seller, he who declined salted juice glass initially but drank it anyways! Over smart.
What was their adult discussion?
@@declan2151 Aathe
30:10 I like how he just gives the 360 camera view while tanking the juices everytime in his videos😂
🤣👍
😂😂😂
Too bad they scammed him
wow interesting street vibe and people
Really love your videos Dale, I can’t travel, but by watching, you take me around the world with you!
I am a pakistani living in Australia, but even I am thoroughly enjoying your videos and finding them as interesting as other non pakistani viewers. Keep up the good work, enjoy and be safe!
U shud move back to pakiland . It's not the same w/o u. No need to be islamophobic
The kid who tried to help you was soo adorable 23:06
Yes..he is so cutee with that dashing hair he has
Nice sharing gud vlog
Plz come to Karachi
We need a Dale and Luke travel series! That would be the most epic vlog, lets make it happen fellas!!
They have already done it
That was so wholesome when the guy wanted to show you his cat 😄
The cat was posing too!
The whole hat searching is so entertaining yet I know I'd be mega frustrated if I were in your shoes. 😂
Big Fan
Amen
Hi Dale,Am your huge fan from Bhutan 🇧🇹.I just wanted you to visit our small kingdom.
Stay safe and have fun mate

Nice aunty market dresses Mohammad Ali Jinnah cap wonderful beautiful super dresses marvelous market beautiful super speech super videosmarkets Pakistan peoples rice thank you nice day vanakkam
As a word of fairness and JUSTICE to that "unwanted" tour guide - he is really one of the much BETTER and good human being. That individual has his limitations but he was actually very sincere in trying to point you in the direction that you wanted - IMPORTANTLY when you said to stop he did not press or negotiate more money from you and he respectfully went his own way and stopped. I just give my cheers to that individual. Its not easy over there and if you gave him that much i really hope it helps him.
❤❤❤
100% ❤❤❤❤
lol stop trying to defend him, Dale did not wanted the tour, that's what unwanted means
@@creepybucket8738I live there he wasn't trying to get money but rather was helping him
Found your channel about 2 weeks ago and i binge watched so many videos, absolutely love your style of vlogging the journey, no unnecessary editing

Ive watched so many of these vlogger videos in Pakistan and I have to say the Pakistani hospitality is amazing. The people are so helpful, friendly and generous. Amazing people!
You don't know how much hateful criticism he got from certain Pakistanis for exposing that camel ride scammers...
most welocome if you want come in pakistan and visit all city of pakistan its so beautiful and gorgeous and friendly peoples
@@AneesRehman57 lol
I think you should have to watch full video because you don't know everyone was trying to scam with him
i've watched the vlog. Only the juice sellers were looking to scam him. Of course an Indian would type this comment@@adityaff7861
Love your videos Dale. Love the way you interact with people. You are amazing ❤️. My 7 year old daughter imitates how you vlog 😁and she absolutely loves your videos. Always waiting for your new videos. Good job 👍
So glad you visited our country warm welcome stay blessed dear
Omg pakistan is soo wonderfull i wanna visit there
Wow another Amazing Vlog. Love the Content. Awesome Video. Enjoy and be Safe.🇨🇦👌👍😁👍
I loved this video and your quest for Jinnah cap and finally you were successful in getting one. Old man was quite passionate about Jinnah and that shows how much we love our independence thanks to our Quaid. I would love to see you in swat, hunza and skardu.
This is the first video I have watched of yours. Great video, alot of details without too much editing. Your parents/ family should be proud of you. Look forward to seeing your videos in islamabad 😁 England 🇬🇧
Nice velog brother 🥰
I love how Dale just strolls past a random Canadian guy who recognises him in the middle of his vlogs haha

@@JUUJJII his life is sad :(

Great video! You're so friendly and kind-hearted man, Mr. Dale!
Thank you so much for exploring Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️
Just started watching him. He is a great person. He can handle any situation with patience. Great work Dale!
Great vlog as always... Happy Eid to those celebrating! 🙌🏽❤️
Perfect eid gift from dale to his subscribers 😃 .
#happyeid everyone
The thing I like about dale is his respect to the people who live where he goes to visit. There’s many popular travel UA-camr’s who disrespect others. Other youtubers would assume right away that the deaf guy was a scam artist and would try to get rid of them right away. Dale went along and never misjudged the guy.
Glad to see you in Pakistan
Eid Mubarak To All In Pakistan 🇵🇰🌙✨💚🤗 With Love From The UK 🇬🇧
謝謝分享, thanks for sharing！👍😄👏
Very nice vlog dale! Keep up the good work. Good to know you had fun in Pakistan. and apologies for the horse scam. That guy has been caught though.
Nice vlogs really enjoyed 😊
What an insane place, and I love it! My friends want to go to California for vacation. I want to go to Pakistan! Love that dude around 30 minutes trolled with "long live Pakistan" 😂. That shopkeeper gave you that hat basically. They're expensive!
Ha! Here within 2 minutes of the video being uploaded. Jumped out of my seat with excitement when I saw that you posted a new video. Looking forward to the 40 minutes of Dale in Pakistan, cheers mate!
I'd probably get some hobbies if that's the case
Great Dale and fantastic.
You are doing Amazing work..great energy and positive vibes ❤
You're connecting people from everywhere with your videos mate! Sending love from England.
Haven't even watched it fully but I can already assure that my night is going to be sorted with this another adventure vlog🔥✌️😎
what an amazing life you have

Great content love your attitude and respect towards others where you go 💯👍
I like how he does all these side quests as he trying to get a hat
Very entertaining as well as motivating for us to travel ....God bless you #Dale :)
Love your videos Dale, keep the great work up 😃👍
You and harald are my favorite travel vloggers. Very genuine vlogs of real people and real situations. I love the hat.
Looking awesome in Zinah cap !
Great vlog mate. You even looked like Muhammed Ali Jinnah when you wore the cap. Love your attitude and friendliness.I could smell those delicious pakaros from here.
Love these vlogs👌
Yer man keeps it interesting as always👍👍👍
your Vlogs + dinner 👌👌👌 best combination
Wow what an amazing place . Chaotic but clean people look friendly and not pushy (except the juice guy).
Lahore is the most cultural part of Pakistan and pakistani culture it self is Lahore 🇱🇦
Amezing vlog. keep it up 😀
Hi Dale. Just want you to know your incredible videos have brought my British-Pakistani family in London great joy over Ramadan. Eid Mubarek! You're a legend!
British Pakistani you mean your wife is british?
@@gayalien88 Yes his wife is British Christian
@@shakerashakeelahmed4895 how you know?
@@gayalien88 I have seen his comment many times I know this guy by his profile picture many people have asked this same question to him
No guys. I was born in the UK but ethnically my family is from Pakistan. So we're British-Pakistani.
lol what a great video, thank you !
U r a nice hearted person..salute brother
always success for the content my friend greetings from Indonesia
I would describe this video as insanely chaotic! Lol or at least that's the case for the first 20 mins it's super crowded with people walking and cars driving all over the place dodging each other on the streets and sidewalks and even in the market lol I don't know how Dale is managing to walk through all this chaos while holding his camera properly and talking without any issues lol another great video though!
Love u Dale. Thanks for taking me around the streets of Lahore and showing honest interactions with the local people. I am totally addicted to your blogs and feel like I am actually on tour with you in these countries. I can stay right here in my bed and travel lol ❤
I saw your video, often visiting places that are not usually visited by foreign tourists. But you go to it, and it adds information to the conditions and situations in the place or country visited. we as people who like to travel, it is very helpful with your video
Instantly when he said he was “deaf” i thought “then how did he know you were looking for a hat?”… makes sense now, he didn’t 😂
You know it's a good city and place to be when shop owners guide you to a other shop where the vendors sell the same products
amazing video! hopefully you can find that cricket jersey!
Love your videos 🔥🔥👍❤️
I love watching his vlog videos you made my day ❤️
Dale Philip, your as mad as a box of frogs, 😂love your content and look forward to more of your videos 👍🏻🇬🇧
Dale I really like you are videos so much my friend
Awesome video 🔥🔥👍❤️
Hi Dale, it was a really genuine market hunt for an exclusive Jinnah hat and it was worth fighting for. People amaze me with their openness and the overwhelming hospitality. I love Pokoras they are delicious, this famous fast food restaurant is probably very good at making fresh delicacies. It was really impressive to see your interaction with the locals. Thanks for a happy video that I enjoyed watching. Be safe brother !!🙏🙏💗💗💗
Oh wow!! Lahore is just like old Delhi. So similar. Only difference street signs are in Urdu in Lahore and Hindi in Delhi lol.
OMG !!!! Dale hearted my comment!! Feel famous now
There is literally a Delhi gate in Lahore which leads to Delhi in pre-partition
@Aoun Muhammad ท
@@owaistahir5370 lol that’s awesome brother. I thought I they named that gate just because.
@Aoun Muhammad punjabi is spoken and all signs across Pakistan are written in Urdu, obviously all Sikh holy sites have Punjabi writing they are not killing a script that the majority of Lahoris can't even read. 😂😂
Looking very good
9:35 love how his smile and facial gesture that said it all..
18:10 u made his day happy !!
I wish you to be a successful man. Love from Mumbai India. I know people from the UK are very polite and thankful.
Good bargainer, keep up
Hii Dale come to Peshawar you well realy enjoy the hospitality
I laughed so hard at Butt Pakora🤣🤣🤣OMG Dale as usual your videos are full of entertainment and knowledge 😅 I didn't even know this channel existed a week ago and now here I'm,have almost watched all your videos.😅
I had seen all of your videos in India
And I love that type of vlogs
Where the real atmosphere comes out
Amazing that the people there speak such a good english. Even the older guys.
I think the man who laughed at you about the sheep being dyed thought you meant, did the sheep die for it to give wool 😂 he thought of "died" haha his laugh was contagious I replayed it a dozen times 🤣
