Delve into the rich history and culture of Pakistan’s most populous city.
1 Mazar-e-Quaid
For a break from the organised chaos of Karachi, head for the Mazar-e- Quaid. The elegant structure, built from immaculate white marble and accented with Moorish arches and copper grills, is the tomb of Pakistan’s founding father, Mohammed Ali Jinnah, known as Quaid-i-Azam (Great Leader). Situated in the heart of the city, it was designed by Indian architect Yahya Merchant and has been an iconic symbol since its completion in 1970. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and fountains, the Mazar-e-Quaid is often used for governmental and military ceremonies. For visitors and residents, the mausoleum is a great place to take a step back from the commotion of the city, enjoy the greenery and perhaps reflect on how a single individual’s struggle for a shared vision can change history.
