Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, or Pukhtunkhwa, has a vast potential for religious tourism, offering a multi-million dollar opportunity. The region boasts numerous archaeological sites from the ancient Gandhara civilization, including significant Buddhist ruins and stupas. These sites attract global interest from scholars, pilgrims, and tourists.
These archaeological treasures are crucial for connecting modern Pakistan to its rich cultural heritage, promoting intercultural dialogue and understanding.

Under Dr. Samad’s leadership, efforts are underway to preserve these ancient sites and enhance their accessibility. This initiative not only promises economic benefits but also ensures the preservation of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's historical and spiritual legacy for future generations.
