A travel journal to Karachi by salsabeel
Quote: Karachi is the largest and most populated city in Pakistan. It has over 10 million residents! The city is known for it's night life and for business, but it does not have too many tourist spots for daytime activities (other than shopping areas). Just like most other big cities (Cairo or NYC come to mind) people either love this city or hate it.
Overview
Juma Bazar: a very "traditional" open air market is the Juma(friday bazar)- you can get EVERYTHING there but beware of pickpockets Urdu Bazaar: a wonderfully huge bazaar for books. The collections there are wonderful, though about 80% are in Urdu or Arabic Sadar: ahh, the true flavor of shopping/haggling in Karachi. Don't forget to visit the jewelry stores Tariq Road: Something for everything kind of shops Try and go crabbing or for camel rides on the beaches. There are private beaches available for non-Pakistanis [or for very wealthy Pakistanis!]
