Must-see attractions

Karachi & Sindh

　　Manora Island sits a short ferry ride from Keamari Harbour, the entrance to Karachi's busy port. The island was the site of the fort where Karachi's Talpur rulers surrendered to the British, who later erected a (still-intact) lighthouse in its place. The island has a small beach overlooked by the...

Karachi & Sindh

　　Clifton Beach is Karachi's busiest beach, although here you'll want to take a stroll rather than a swim. The beach itself is nothing special, made of mud-grey sand, but it's fun for people-spotting.

This includes the palatial Karachi Metropolitan Development Corporation Building, which was built in 1935 to mark George V's Silver Jubilee. It incorporates pointed Oriental cupolas at its...

Defence Housing Authority Mosque (Masjid-i-Tuba)

Karachi & Sindh

　　Surely Pakistan's most eccentric mosque, the Defence Housing Authority Mosque is a truly odd structure that was built in the late 1960s. The low-slung mosque is contained under one vast dome with no supporting columns or vaults. With a diameter of 72m, the tentlike dome claims to be the world's...
