Karachi
Karachi is the capital of Sindh Province. It is a busy centre of commerce and industry. It has a big port and is the largest city of Pakistan having International airports. It has many pleasant attractions like sunny sandy beaches, deep-sea fishing, yachting and golf and horse racing etc. Besides rush-taking shopping markets, you can buy indigenous handicrafts, beautifully woven hand made rugs / carpets, jewellery, garments, cloth, pottery and a lot more.
The mausoleum of Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah is yet another monumental palace situated in the east of M. A. Jinnah Road. The marble work on the tomb offers a great luminous scene at dusk, while the recently built garden is a good example of modern architectural planning resulting in fast completion here. There are also graves of his sisters, Shireen Jinnah and Fatima Jinnah, and his right hand, Liaquat Ali Khan.
National Museum
The National Museum is situated off I.I Chundrigar Road, the busiest commercial hub of the city. Here one can see the rich collection of items in galleries named after the Indus Valley Civilization, Gandhara sculpture, Islamic art, besides rare manuscripts, ancient coins and paintings.
About 27 Km out of Karachi on the National Highway on a high ground area is a cluster of an un-usual grave built in the shape of slabs upon slabs of rectangles, hence the name "four sided". These date back to 16th-18th century A.D. The distinguishing feature of these graves is the superb carving and engraving of the sandstone slabs with various floral motifs and designs of jewellery for females and of horses and swords for males.
