Very secure and well kept. Great for late afternoon or early evening visits, Tombstone is kept well and has a small museum featuring the Qaid’s belongings. Must buy fresh lime juice from the stall near the parking area - just delicious

This market never fails to impress! I always end up buying something, be it my own clothing, or my daughter's or for a friend, Over the years, the market has expanded with more shops, adjacent buildings turning to the ready-made garments of export quality. My sister-in-law from US bought a horde of things, giveaways on her recent trip. She had visited the place 10 tears as well. So it continues to thrive.

Mohatta Palace takes you back to a royal time. We toured the palace and it was a great historical experience. Exhibits change every so often. There is a small gift shop inside as well! We also attended a private musical event (pre-Covid). The site is very well maintained.

I’m so happy for Karachi to having such wonderful place. This is must go place for family and couple. Entry ticket is little high but trust me services and entertainment they offer its worth it. Clean and well organized place. From live music concerts to life instrumentale performance what els we want with such picturesque view. Where we could have great heritage from British period. I simply love it ????. Street food was good and well organized along with open street where we enjoyed desi food. other side of the street there are plenty of good choices restaurants, in fact we did not tried restaurants food but I heard they are good in quality but I must say view is lovely while having food. Great thing is they offer valet service for car parking ????. Take plenty of pictures and make memories. Recommendations: wear comfortable cloths “do check weather first” and ???? sneakers or comfortable shoes. Keep cash in hands its better option. Have to go before sunset otherwise you will miss some thing you won’t even imagine.
