Though I never had been fond of many civil engineering creations, but the fly-overs of Karachi are something that definitely got me attracted.
The Frere Hall, completed in 1865, is one of the most beautiful buildings in Karachi. Located near US Consulate and Sindh Club, this building's ground floor serves as the house of Liaquat Municipal Library.
Teen Talwar, translated as Three Swords, were built by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (Former Prime Minister of Pakistan) in Clifton Karachi. They represent the three principles presented to Pakistani Nation by Quaid-e-Azam; Unity, Faith, Discipline.
The Mohatta Palace was the last home for Mohtarma Fatima Jinnah, sister of our founder; Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. This palace was initially built by some Hindu Landlord in 1927. After the partition of sub-continent, government of Pakistan took charge of this building and then the palace served as the working chamber for Foreign Office. When the Capital shifted from Karachi to Islamabad, this palace was the residence of Fatima Jinnah till her death in 1967. Unfortunately, no belongings of her are preserved here rather this place is used to arrange various commercial exhibitions.
Most attractive object that Karachi offers to the people of her country is Sea and beaches. Following images are of Sea View; most famous beach at Karachi.
Hawks Bay, Paradise Point and Neelam Point are other famous tourist resorts in Karachi.
