The Attari-Wagah Border is a border crossing point between India and Pakistan. It is located near the town of Attari in the Indian state of Punjab and the Wagah village in Pakistan's Punjab province. The border is approximately 28 kilometers (about 17 miles) from the city of Amritsar in India and about 22 kilometers (about 13.6 miles) from Lahore in Pakistan.

The Attari-Wagah Border is famous for its daily ceremonial border closing ceremony, known as the "Wagah Border Ceremony" or "Beating Retreat Ceremony." This event involves elaborate and synchronized military drills and flag-lowering ceremonies by the border security forces of both India and Pakistan and is a popular tourist attraction. It symbolizes the friendly rivalry between the two countries and their efforts to maintain peace and cooperation along the border.
