The place
Karachi
Pearl Continental Hotel Karachi stands in the centre of Karachi, about 1 km straight-line from Saddar. Karachi sits at about 10 m above sea level on the Arabian Sea. In Karachi, the old colonial core around Saddar holds stone buildings from the British period, while the waterfront runs south and west towards Clifton and the beaches beyond. The city is Pakistan's largest and its main port, spread along the coast in southern Sindh. It is a place of districts rather than a single centre, so the old town, colonial quarter, beaches and markets each feel separate.
In Karachi, distances are long and traffic is heavy, so plan on covering one or two areas a day rather than trying to see everything. The city has roughly 20 million people and is the capital of Sindh as well as the country's financial and industrial centre. From this central base near Saddar, the main districts are spread out, and guest reviews describe the location as perfect with easy access to major attractions. Expect to use transport for most outings rather than walking between areas.
