Rubal is a quiet town in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, situated in the mountains at an altitude of about 1,200 meters, about 60 kilometers from the provincial capital of Peshawar, and known for its pleasant climate and deep Pashtun cultural heritage. The local economy is based on agriculture, producing wheat, corn, apples and apricots, and the residents are mostly engaged in farming and cottage industries, with traditional woolen carpets and wood carvings as specialties.
