About 200 miles east of Quetta, this city is just plain hot. Theres always a tussle between Jacobabad and Sibbi as to which one is the hottest city in Pakistan, but from what Ive experienced, the entire belt stretching from Sibbi to Jacobabad, (about 200+ miles in between), is just as hot as anything on any given summer day. Temperatures in the mid 40s are considered pleasant.
Sibbi is a small town, dominated by hindus, and tribals. Theres not much to see in the city, rather nothing to see, except for those who are into peeri faqeeri. Some Pir Lal Shah (or something similar) is buried in Sibbi, and draws lots of devotees from all over Baluchistan.
Due to tribal customs, you will rarely see women outdoors. If at all, they will be covered in burqas.
There are probably more hindus in Sibbi than muslims. Most of the businesses are run by the jagdeesh lals, and tulsi chands.
The desert terrain of Sibbi and its surroundings means, theres everything here that you would find in a desert. Finding a scorpions nest in your backyard is not an uncommon sight. Iguanas roam in and out of their holes all over. Mosquitos make the sky look black at times. Sandflies have the ability to kill, with their silent attacks. Cobras, among other snake species, live close enough to intrude every now and then. This is where you find 4-6 inch long cockroaches, and crickets that hop around like theres no tomorrow.
The main reason for the presence of all these pests is that humans have invaded their habitat, and it always takes a long time for such pests to relocate. But for now, the people of Sibbi just take most of them in stride.
