About this place
Sheikhupura is an industrial city in the heart of Punjab, known primarily as a major center for rice production and as the home of a large Nestlé factory. Located a short distance from Lahore, it serves as a convenient secondary hub connected by road and rail to several of Pakistan's major cities.
While its economic profile is prominent, the city also holds a unique place in Punjabi culture as the birthplace of the legendary Sufi poet Waris Shah. This blend of industry and literary heritage gives visitors a glimpse into a working Punjabi city with a distinctive historical footnote.
