Larkana,
Nawabshah
Hyderabad
Avoid Europe as much as possible, that is if you want some peace of mind.
Why?? Istanbul is a Muslim city....There will probably be a less crowd over there at that time because Christmas is not celebrated there.
and i assure you, you wudnt regret it. i went there for my honeymoon. everything aside, the weather is just gorgeous.. i loved it to death. the places are nice.. go to blue mosque and grand bazaar... must c. ure goin in dec, itll b quite chilly. i went in Nov last year and had to wear 2 shirts and a coat on top but i lovvvvvvvvvvvvvved it.... enjoy!
Yeah, I checked their average temperatures in Dec and found out that it will be a little chilly but it's fine coz we are used to a lot more colder weather. But I read in dec it is very rainy in Istanbul and the best time to go there is April.

Jeddah, Makkah, Madina, Dubai/Abu Dhabi, Doha
During december, only middle eastern cities, like Jeddah/Dubai/Doha/ etc will have reasonable temperature and all airlines Saudi Airlines, Emirates/Etihad and Qatar airways will give you good connections from Major cities of US. Rest all European cities will be freezing and then their airlines are damn unncessarily expensive. Try Saudia Airlines, Emirates or my favorite Etihad.
Hi umer this is moon. Long time no see. so u now in dubai. I m in KSA now.
hmmm,, KSA... and Riyadh....
I am also in Riyadh.
Re: Possible stopovers while going to Karachi
dubai and istanbul would be the best bet with the most to see
frankfurt not really anything much
from my experience avoid any connections in the middle east as they screw up your flights
Re: Possible stopovers while going to Karachi
I am going to Istanbul for my honeymoon in 2 weeks time!

Makka, Madina and Jeddah are out of question as it will be Hajj season during the time we are going.
We booked the tickets already with a stay in Istanbul. We actually don't mind cold weather as Chicago is much more colder and windy then most European destinations.
