Karachi

As luck would have it, I may be going to Karachi for a few days within the next few weeks. I have never been to Karachi and the last time I went to Pakistan was about 15 years ago…so I am kind of excited.

I don’t suppose I will get any time for sight seeing or socialising. If I do get a couple of hours to myself…are there any exciting places in karachi that I must see!?

The most exciting place is Lahore :dhimpak:

Re: Karachi

True Lahore is a cool place but I am going to Karachi and Baluchistan for a couple of days each...I don't think there is anything exciting in Baluchistan but Karachi must have a few attractions.

Re: Karachi

omg yes you should be very excited! I do would do practically anything to be in Karachi right now (although, taking into consideration how hot it is right now, I think I might have second thoughts :P).

Anyways, well pretty much my favorite place in the world is in karachi. It's this beach in Clifton, Karachi. I don't know if it has a specific name, but I'm sure people will know what you're talking about if you mention it. I went there late at night on Saturday so there was a lot of people but I recommend you atleast go at night because they have these huge flood lights that shine on the samandar and it looks soooooo gorgeous mashaAllah. :) They also have camels and horses there that you can take a little ride on down the beach for a small fee...and they have a eat-out restaurant nearby as well.

I miss it so much. :(

I'll post the pictures I took in Karachi in images2 sometime soon.
