Rabwah

Rabwah is a city in Punjab province that sits along the banks of the Chenab River. It spreads across hilly terrain with residential areas, railway lines, and various facilities woven into the landscape.

The city was founded in 1948 when a religious community purchased land and began establishing settlements. What started as an undeveloped area gradually developed into an organized urban space over the following decades.

The city was built as a community project and you can still see how this shared vision shapes daily life. Schools and educational spaces are woven throughout the city, reflecting the importance placed on learning within the community.

The city is well connected by railway and bus services reaching major cities in the region. Visitors will find shops, schools, and healthcare facilities scattered throughout that serve everyday needs.

The land was initially considered barren and unsuitable for settlement, but early planners transformed it into a working community through careful design and irrigation. This intentional development remains visible in how the city is organized today.
