The largest city in Pakistan and located in the southeastern part. Its an industrial centre and seaport on the Arabian Sea; former capital of Pakistan. The cosmopolitan city of Karachi is a Pakistani favourite for its scenic location on the eastern coast of the Arabian Sea. Karachi is the capital of the province of Sind and the former capital of Pakistan; it is also the country’s largest city. The narrow, winding alleys of the old city run alongside the wide, modern roads and elegant high-rises. This is the financial and commercial hub of Pakistan, but is still quite scenic, with two rivers (the Malir and Liyari) passing through it. The National Museum is one of the few well-kept museums in Pakistan and contains many artefacts from the Indus Valley civilisation and later eras.
