Section guidance
Karachi sightseeing must be grouped by geography. The strongest first-time route is: Mazar-e-Quaid, Frere Hall, Mohatta Palace, Clifton/Sea View and one food district. Serious guide coverage should also include old city heritage, museums, shopping streets, beach day trips, family parks, art galleries and external day trips such as Chaukhandi, Thatta and Makli.
Start at the white marble mausoleum of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, where ceremonial guards, lawns and a museum-like silence tell the story of Pakistan founding capital. Area: Central Karachi. Category: National mausoleum.
A pink-stone Rajasthani-style palace that now hosts exhibitions; its roofline, domes and gardens make it one of Karachi's most photogenic cultural stops. Area: Clifton. Category: Palace museum.
