Karachi
A cosmopolitan melting pot of eastern and western influences, different ethnicities and cultures, Karachi will enrapture all those who visit. With the warm waters of the Arabian sea lapping at its shores, a breathtaking mix of architectural styles and the warm welcoming hospitality of its people, Karachi will uplift the spirits and infuse you with an all over glow that gives credence to its nickname as the “City of Lights”.
The City
Saddar the commercial heart of the city is where visitors will undoubtedly be drawn. The wide boulevards and narrow side streets are home to all manner of markets and bazaars where you will find Karachi street life at its most colourful. Along Zaibunnisa St there are also some fine examples of Victorian architecture, a relic from colonial times, whilst on MA Jinnah Rd you will find Karachi’s most famous landmark the Quaid mausoleum. Saddar is also a good place to head for if you’re looking for budget accommodation and for cheap eats head for the famous Burns Rd.
South of Saddar and hugging the coastline is the upmarket neighbourhoods of Clifton and DHA (Defence Housing Association). Clifton’s marine promenade is a popular evening hangout for Karachiite’s, who come to eat in one of the numerous restaurants dotted around the boatyard or simply just to walk and talk and admire the latest Karachi landmark...the world’s tallest water fountain.
In the adjoining neighbourhood of DHA, Zamzama Boulevard has a range of designer boutiques, coffee shops and stylish restaurants that attract a well heeled crowd. Read more about Karachi:
