Saidpur Village
سیدپور
A Mughal-era village at the foot of the Margalla Hills. Restored old houses now host restaurants and handicraft shops, and the village still has a Hindu temple and a Sikh temple.
Saidpur Village has a history of several centuries and is said to be named after a 16th-century lord. The village has a Hindu Ram temple, the remains of a Sikh gurdwara and a mosque, reflecting the history of different faiths coexisting here. It was restored in the 2000s. Along the flagstone lanes, traditional-style houses now hold restaurants, cafés and handicraft shops, and the village is backed by the green Margalla Hills. Dining here in the evening has a lovely atmosphere. The village is free to visit. It is located near E-7 sector, about 4 km from Faisal Mosque.
