Mianwali is the capital city of Mianwali District in Punjab, Pakistan. Located to the east of the Indus River, the city is irrigated by the Thal Canal.
== Etymology == The name Mianwali literally means the "Land of the Mian". According to the local tradition, this name was originally given to a hamlet by a Sufi Qadiriyya saint Shaikh Mian Ali, who migrated from Baghdad and settled in the area in the 16th-century. Gradually the town, originally known as Kachchi, came to be known as Mianwali.
