Karači - Karachi

Karači^{[mrtva povezava]}, hrupno, živahno, vedno večje nemirno velemesto Pakistana leži na vzhodni obali Arabskega morja, tik severozahodno od delte reke Ind. Največje mesto in nedvomno najpomembnejše je bilo Karači prvotna prestolnica države. Ogromno velemesto je preraslo v trgovsko, prometno in politično središče države ter upravlja z največjimi in najbolj prometnimi pristanišči v državi. Stopnja rasti mesta ga spodbuja naprej na svetovni oder in Karachi je na poti, da postane močno vpliven igralec.

Karači ponuja izjemno raznolikost zanimivosti in dejavnosti - od sončnih peščenih plaž in starih kolonialnih zgradb, ki so še vedno ohranjene in v nekaterih primerih naseljene, do tradicionalnih bazarjev in sodobnih nakupovalnih središč. Razkošni luksuzni hoteli spregledajo modne restavracije z okusi iz cele države in večine sveta. Iz mesta postanejo vroča točka za lokalne in turistične dejavnosti.

Izjemno obzorje je le ena izmed čudovitih znamenitosti mesta in to veliko južnoazijsko mesto priredi veliko presenečenj za vse, ki se odločijo, da jih bodo poiskali. V Karačiju živi več kot 23 milijonov prebivalcev iz vse države in celo tujine in je živahen talilnik kultur in idej. Obiskovalce čaka novo in vznemirljivo doživetje za vsakim vogalom in ob vsakem obisku. Mesto je znano kot "mesto Quaid", ker se je tu rodil, vzgojil in preživel zadnja leta ustanovitelj Pakistana Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Poleg tega, da je Karači zaradi svoje 24-urne živahnosti zdaj bolj priljubljen in ljubkovan "mesto luči".

Najbolj raznoliko in svetovljansko mesto v Pakistanu, Karachi živi in ​​diha v svojem stilu. Najnaprednejše mesto države, ki pogosto plamti naprej kot primer Pakistana, ki prihaja, zaradi raznolike sestave pa je včasih opisano kot mini Pakistan, kjer lahko najdete predstavnike vseh pakistanskih kultur. Karači je tretje najbolj naseljeno mesto na svetu in največje med muslimanskim svetom. Zaradi tega in njegove narave, ki se tali, je življenjski tempo hitrejši in družbeni odnosi bolj liberalni kot drugod v državi, stopnja rasti mesta pa ga spreminja v središče, kjer se ljudje iz različnih okolij srečujejo in oblikujejo prihodnost mesto in Pakistan.

Razumeti

“	Še vedno boste slava vzhoda; bi želel, da bi lahko spet prišel, Karači, da te vidim v svoji veličini	”
—Charles James Napier, sindski komisar (1843–1847)

Karači, ki leži na jugu Pakistana, je večetnično, večjezično, večkulturno in večversko mesto in od sedemdesetih let glavno mesto province Sindh. Karači je eno najhitreje rastočih mest na svetu, najbogatejše in pomembno finančno in industrijsko središče Pakistana, ki upravlja večino čezmorske trgovine Pakistana in predstavlja levji delež BDP države. Po nekaterih podatkih naj bi bilo tudi med najcenejšimi mesti na svetu za življenje. Kljub svoji nemirni naravi, ki ji daje slab ugled, je še naprej živčni center državnega gospodarstva in finančne moči Pakistana. Mesto odlikuje arhitektura, glasbena scena, medijske povezave, finančna in komercialna proizvodnja, družbeni vpliv in prometne povezave. Danes ga je mreža svetovnih raziskav o globalizaciji in svetovnih mestih uvrstila med beta svetovna mesta.

Zgodovina

Karači: od mesta luči do mesta nočnih mor Nekoč veljalo za eno najlepših vzhodnih mest, kjer je bila nekoč mirna, urejena, modna, strpna in čista, danes pa je zaskrbljena, zastarela, pravoslavna in umazana. Takoj po neodvisnosti Pakistana je Karači veljal za progresivno in uspešno mesto mednarodnih standardov in postalo središče za tuje potnike v Pakistan. Mesto je v svojih zlatih dneh postalo prestolnica zabave, kjer je gostilo na stotine kinodvoran, desetine živahnih nočnih klubov ter številne bare in prodajalne alkoholnih pijač po mestu. Medtem ko so bile droge lahko dostopne, alkohol in igre na srečo pa zakoniti, je bilo kaznivih dejanj veliko manj kot danes: stopnja kriminala je bila zelo nizka in kriminala s pištolo ni bilo. Konec šestdesetih let je turistična industrija v mestu cvetila in postalo je vroča točka za mednarodne turiste, v katere se je v mesto podalo veliko mladih zahodnih popotnikov in "hipi". Sistem javnega prevoza je bil razmeroma dober. Po mestu so nekoč obratovali številni mestni tramvajski sistemi, pa tudi lokalna vlakovna služba, "krožna železnica Karachi". Delovala je tudi trajektna služba Karachi-Mumbai, medtem ko je letališče Karachi opravljalo storitve številnih večjih letalskih družb na svetu in je bilo tako uvrščeno med najbolj prometna letališča na svetu. Skratka, v odsotnosti političnega, sektaškega in etničnega nasilja je Karači projiciral podobo resnično mednarodnega mesta sveta, toda skozi čas se je podoba mesta drastično spremenila in postalo je čisto drugo mesto, kakršno je danes.

V 18. stoletju se je stara ribiška ženska Sindhi Balochi Mai Kolachi naselila na tem območju, danes znanem kot Karachi, da bi si ustvarila družino. Do takrat se je območje ustanovilo kot majhna ribiška skupnost in se začelo imenovati "Kolachi-jo-Goth" ("vas Kolachi"). Ko je mesto začelo trgovati z regijo Perzijskega zaliva čez Arabsko morje, je postalo pomembnejše in tako je bila za njegovo zaščito zgrajena majhna utrdba z blatom, ki je imela dve glavni vrati: Khaara-dar (Slana vrata), obrnjena proti morju kot okus podzemlja voda v bližini Arabskega morja je bila slana in Meetha-dar (Sladka vrata), obrnjena proti sosednji reki Lyari, katere ljudje so našli pitno vodo naravnega okusa. Lega teh vrat ustreza današnjim najdiščem Khaara-dar oziroma Meetha-dar.

Mesto se je razvilo v pomembno pristanišče, ko je pritegnilo pozornost britanske vzhodnoindijske družbe, ki je po pošiljanju nekaj raziskovalnih misij v Sindh leta 1839 osvojila regijo in dobila nadzor tudi nad Karačijem. V zgodnjem pravilu čete je bilo prebivalcev mesta le 15.000. Pozneje leta 1843 je mesto postalo del britanske Indije, pozneje v poznih 1840-ih pa je postalo prestolnica Sindha. Britanci so spoznali pomen mesta kot vojaškega kantona in hitro razvili svoje pristanišče za ladijski promet ter začeli razvijati mesto. Začel se je obsežen razvoj infrastrukture, čemur so se začela odpirati nova podjetja in prebivalstvo mesta se je začelo hitro povečevati. Britanski kolonialisti so se lotili številnih javnih del na področju sanitarij in prevoza, Karachi pa se je hitro spremenil v mesto, kar je uresničilo znameniti citat Napierja, za katerega je znano, da je ob svojem odhodu leta 1847 dejal: "Ali bi lahko spet prišel k tebi? v svoji veličini! "

V času britanskega raja je bilo mesto največje urbano središče današnjega Pakistana in je bilo s preostalo britansko Indijo povezano z železniško povezavo. Do takrat je Karači užival gospodarski razcvet in odprtje Sueškega prekopa leta 1869 je pomenilo, da je mesto 200 morskih milj bližje Evropi za ladijski prevoz kot Bombaj (zdaj imenovan Mumbaj). Nenehno dogajanje v mestu je povzročilo velik pritok ekonomskih migrantov. Prebivalcev mesta je bilo konec 19. stoletja približno 105.000. Leta 1876 se je v mestu rodil Mohammad Ali Jinnah, ustanovitelj Pakistana.

Po krvavi razdelitvi britanskega Raja in neodvisnosti Pakistana je v mestu prišlo do hitre rasti, ki so jo muslimanski migranti iz Indije osredotočili na naselje. Na stotine tisoč muslimanskih beguncev iz Indije je poiskalo begunce v mestu, prebivalstvo pa je danes eksplodiralo s približno 450.000 na približno 23,5 milijona. Naselje beguncev v Karačiju je mestu dalo severno indijsko vzdušje, razširilo prebivalstvo mesta in spremenilo njegovo demografsko in gospodarsko pripadnost. Pred razdelitvijo leta 1947 je bilo v mestu 50% hindujskega prebivalstva, ki se je kasneje v desetletnem obdobju leta 1951 zmanjšalo na le 2%, medtem ko je število muslimanskega prebivalstva leta 1951 preseglo 95%, kar je bilo pred razdelitvijo podceline le 40% .

Karači je bil izbran za glavno mesto Pakistana med letoma 1947–1958 in je postal živahno velemesto z lepimi klasičnimi in kolonialnimi evropskimi stavbami, ki obdajajo mestne prometnice. V naslednjih nekaj desetletjih je bilo eno najhitreje rastočih mest na svetu. Leta 1958 so prestolnico iz Karačija preselili v Rawalpindi, nato pa leta 1960 v novozgrajeni Islamabad. Ogromna množica ilegalnih beguncev z vsega sveta se je še naprej zgrinjala v mesto, zaradi česar je prebivalstvo mesta še naprej naraščalo in presegalo zmogljivosti svoje škripajoče infrastrukture. V šestdesetih letih je bil Pakistan po vsem svetu obravnavan kot gospodarski vzor in to je bila zlata doba Karačija. Govori se, da so številne države poskušale posnemati pakistansko strategijo gospodarskega načrtovanja; ena izmed njih, Južna Koreja, je kopirala drugi "petletni načrt" države, Svetovni finančni center v Seulu pa je zasnovan in oblikovan po vzoru Karačija.

Konec osemdesetih in v začetku devetdesetih let se je v mesto zabeležil pritok nezakonitih afganistanskih beguncev iz sovjetske vojne v Afganistanu v Karači, ki je leta 2010 po ocenah znašal od 1,6 do 2 milijona ljudi, skupaj s tisoči državljani mnogih drugih držav, živijo nezakonito v Karačiju brez ustrezne dokumentacije. Po mestu so izbruhnile politične napetosti in etnično nasilje med muhadžirji in lokalnimi skupinami, kot so etnični Sindhi in Punjabi, mesto pa je bilo polno političnega nasilja. Posledično je bila pakistanska vojska razporejena za ponovno vzpostavitev miru v mestu. Obdobje od leta 1992 do leta 1994 velja za najbolj krvavo obdobje v zgodovini mesta, ko je vojska začela operacijo "Čiščenje" proti gibanju Mohajir Qaumi.

Podnebje

Karači ima razmeroma blago in sušno podnebje - čeprav zmerno različico tega podnebja - precej skozi vse leto, ker mesto počiva na obali. Karači ima dve glavni sezoni; poletje in zima, medtem ko sta pomlad in jesen zelo kratki. Mesto uživa tropsko podnebje, ki zajema topla in vlažna poletja, medtem ko so blage in suhe zime; Bližina morja ohranja raven vlažnosti na skoraj konstantni visoki in hladni morski vetrič razbremeni toploto poletnih mesecev, vendar poletna sezona traja najdlje med letom. Zaradi visokih poletnih temperatur (od 30 do 44 ° C od aprila do oktobra) je zimska sezona, ki traja od novembra do marca, najboljši čas za obisk Karačija. Največ padavin se pojavi v deževni sezoni monsuna, ki se pojavi poleti od julija do avgusta, občasno pa se pojavijo dolgotrajni uri neprekinjenega dežja. Najvišja doslej zabeležena temperatura v Karačiju je 47,8 ° C, najnižja pa 0 ° C.

Politika

Demografija Karačija je pomembna, saj večino politike v Karačiju vodijo in vplivajo etnične pripadnosti. Karači je bil tradicionalno trdnjava Jamaat e Islami do poznih sedemdesetih let. V osemdesetih letih je nova politična stranka z imenom MQM prevladala nad mestno politiko. Prvotno je bila ustanovljena kot študentska organizacija, ki temelji na etnični pripadnosti, leta 1978 na znani mestni univerzi v Karačiju, da bi zastopala skupnost Muhajir in jih zaščitila pred diskriminacijo in nepravičnostjo. Kasneje je začela delovati kot ustrezna politična stranka.

Stranka je zaradi obtoževanja bojevitosti in širjenja političnega nasilja v mestu pogosto označena kot protipakistanska in fašistična in ostaja četrta največja politična stranka v državi, toda tista, ki ima največ sedežev iz Karačija in je prevladujoča politična sila v mestu.

Kultura

Kdo so muhadžiri? Muhajir je izraz, ki izhaja iz arabske besede, ki pomeni "migrant". Izraz se v Pakistanu uporablja za opis muslimanskih priseljencev, ki so v času delitve britanske Indije med narodoma Indije in Pakistana leta 1947 prišli iz severne Indije in se odločili za naselitev v različnih delih države, vendar večinoma v Sindhu, zlasti Karači. Danes muhadžiri predstavljajo velik del prebivalstva Karačija, sledijo pa jim Punjabi, Pathani in Sindhi.

Biti gospodarsko središče Pakistan, Karači naseljujejo ljudje iz vse države. Na robu Indijskega oceana je mesto nedvomno raznolik talilni lonček Pakistana, ki se meša med staro in novo, vzhodno in zahodno - sotočje ljudi iz različnih delov Pakistana in z vsega sveta. Z rednim pritokom priseljencev iz preostalega Pakistana so prebivalci, ki jih imenujejo "Karačijci", pokazali izjemno strpnost do drugih kultur, zaradi česar je pravi kulturni talilni lonec, zato se vsakdanji življenjski slog Karačija bistveno razlikuje od življenja drugih mest v Pakistan. Za kulturo Karačija je značilno mešanje vplivov Bližnjega vzhoda, Srednje Azije, Južne Azije in Zahoda ter status mesta kot glavnega mednarodnega poslovnega središča. Kot celota je v kulturi precejšnja raznolikost in ta raznolikost je ustvarila edinstven kulturni amalgam svoje vrste. Mesto ima svetovljansko prebivalstvo, sestavljeno iz številnih etnolingvističnih skupin, in gosti največji sloj srednjega razreda v državi. Mesto pripisuje svoji rasti mešano prebivalstvo ekonomskih in političnih migrantov, skupaj z begunci različnih narodnih, provincialnih, jezikovnih in verskih porekel, ki se v mesto pripeljejo za stalno. V Karačiju živi veliko število nemuslimanov v primerjavi z drugimi pakistanskimi mesti.

Podjetniški duh in utripajoč tempo življenja sta močan kontrast večini Pakistana. Ameriški politolog in strokovnjak za južno Azijo Stephen P. Cohen, ki je bil osupnjen zaradi raznolikih demografskih značilnosti Karachija, je nekoč izjavil, da če bi se Karačijeve etnične skupine "dobro razumele, bi bilo to neverjetno zapleteno mesto, podobno kot New York". Lahko je primerljivo z drugim največjim azijskim mestom, Mumbaj, s katerim ima mesto veliko podobnosti, ker sta bili v preteklosti že britanski koloniji. Karači je bil zgrajen v zaporednih migracijskih valovih z vsako leto več kot milijonom novih prebivalcev, zato ni presenetljivo, da se strije kažejo v enem največjih in najhitreje rastočih mest na svetu. Soseske so svoj značaj dobile od skupnosti, ki so se tam najprej naselile. Teh sosesk je preveč, da bi jih lahko naštevali in ni splošno sprejetih načinov, da bi te soseske razvrstili v večja okrožja. Toda približno se je mesto razvilo od juga proti severu.

Karači se ponaša tudi z eno največjih podzemnih glasbenih scen v državi, kjer se tradicionalni glasbeni vplivi mešajo s sodobnim zahodnjaškim slogom in ustvarjajo edinstveno blagovno znamko fuzijske glasbe. Ta glasbeni slog je bil zelo priljubljen po vsem Pakistanu in ga uporablja večina glasbenih umetnikov v prihodnosti. Številni nastajajoči glasbeniki v državi so se nastanili v Karačiju zaradi odličnih zaposlitvenih možnosti v rastoči zabavni industriji Karačija. Pravzaprav je Karachi ustvaril tudi številne priznane umetnike. Mnoga sveža glasbena dejanja v državi najdete v kavarnah, restavracijah in koncertih po Karačiju.

Usmerjenost

Karači je ogromen mestni uradnik, razdeljen na šest okrožij in šest kantonskih mest, ki jih upravlja pakistanska vojska.

• Saddar pomeni, da je bilo "središče" središče Karačija v kolonialni dobi. Soseska je osrednje poslovno območje Karačija in vsebuje veliko najstarejših delov mesta, ki predstavljajo predkolonialno zgodovino Karačija. Veliko čudovitih primerov kolonialne arhitekture je mogoče najti na razpadajočih ulicah Saddarja. Tu večina obiskovalcev mesta na koncu preživi večino svojega časa, saj je tukaj skoncentriranih veliko zgodovinskih znamenitosti in restavracij. Saddar sestavlja več proračunskih trgov in bazarjev, kjer lahko kupite vse, od nakita in oblačil, elektronike do čevljev.
• Obramba in Clifton Obe soseski imata sloves premožnih, razkošnih stanovanj. Tu so navadno domovi, trgovine, nakupovalni centri in restavracije urejeni, nadstandardni in razkošni. Prvotno je bilo razvito za bivanje sedanjega in upokojenega vojaškega osebja, zdaj pa ga večinoma zaseda civilna elita mesta. Na splošno to velja za lepo območje, kjer lahko živite, jeste in kupujete. V teh dveh delih mesta je skoncentrirana večina vrhunskih restavracij in vrhunskih trgovin.
• Lyari je najstarejše mesto v mestu in vsebuje večino starega Karačija, Lyari je blizu glavnega poslovnega okrožja Karačija in več industrijskih območij, vključno z najbolj prometnim morskim pristaniščem v državi.

Vstopi

Z letalom

• 24.90666767.1608331 Mednarodno letališče Jinnah (KHI ^IATA). Je najbolj prometno in največje letališče v Pakistanu, ki opravlja mednarodne in domače lete. Letališče Karachi je bilo med šestdesetimi in osemdesetimi leti precej bolj prometno in je postajalo mesto za oskrbo več glavnih letalskih družb na svetu. Vendar pa je pojav letališča v Dubaju, večja uporaba letal z daljšimi razdaljami in pozneje slabo politično ozračje v Karačiju v devetdesetih letih privedlo do tega, da je več letalskih družb prekinilo svoje storitve. Je središče za Pakistan International Airlines, Pakistanski državni letalski prevoznik, ki leti na številne mednarodne destinacije, in vsa večja mesta v Pakistanu. Letališče je tudi središče Zračno modra in Shaheen Air, Drugi dve zasebni letalski družbi v Pakistanu letita na domačih in mednarodnih linijah.  

Glavni terminal je razdeljen na dve avli - vzhodno satelitsko igrišče, ki se uporablja za mednarodne lete, in zahodno satelitsko igrišče za domače lete, od katerih ima vsak mostove za nakladanje potnikov, ki segajo od vrat letališkega terminala do letala, kar potnikom omogoča, da vkrcati in izkrcati, ne da bi šli ven ali prestopili z avtobusi. Dva satelitska dvorana dopolnjujeta tudi odhodne salone stavbe terminala. Spodnja stopnja terminala je namenjena prihodom potnikov, kjer je poseben pas taksijev in velikanski McDonald tik ob izhodu iz terminala za prihajajoče potnike, medtem ko je zgornji nivo terminala namenjen potnikom, ki odhajajo.

Objekti v letaliških salonih za odhod vključujejo kioske s hrano, kot sta McDonald's in Butlers Chocolate Cafe. Obstajajo tudi številni bančni kioski, bankomati, števci denarja, brezplačni internetni kioski, mošeje, kavarne in številna darila, medicinska trgovina, trgovinice s sladkarijami, mobilne polnilnice in pulti za prigrizke. Obstaja velika trgovina brez carin, ki prodaja preproge, preproge, športno opremo, medicinske instrumente, oniks, dragulje in še veliko več po ugodnih cenah na mednarodnem območju odhoda. V terminalu so na voljo tudi prostori za prtljago za tiste, ki želijo shraniti prtljago. Brezplačni vozički in nosači so na voljo po 100 Rs za domače potnike in 200 Rs za potnike na mednarodnih letih. Pomoč za invalide je na voljo na zahtevo letalske družbe pred odhodom. Invalidske vozičke in pomoč za invalidske vozičke najdete na mizah v območjih prihoda in odhoda terminala. Letališki salon CIP Lounge lahko brezplačno uporabljajo vsi potniki prvega / poslovnega razreda in imetniki kreditnih kartic, vključno z njihovimi gosti na vseh odhodnih letih, medtem ko imata Barclays in UBL ločene salone za stranke svojih kreditnih kartic. Poleg CIP Loungea je tudi salon PIA Business Class Lounge. Objekti v letališkem CIP Loungeu vključujejo udoben dnevni prostor za sprostitev, dostop do vodilnih TV-kanalov, brezplačen wifi, široko paleto prigrizkov in pijač brezplačno, časopise, revije, tuš, faks, telefon in mobilne polnilnice. Restavracija McDonalds je tudi zunaj glavne stavbe terminala.

Postopki priseljevanja so na letališču v Karačiju pogosto dolgotrajni. Z dolgimi pasovi je vedno grozno, zlasti na okencih pakistanskih potnih listov, v konicah, ki so običajno v zgodnjih jutranjih urah, in lahko trajajo znano dolgo (več kot 30 minut). V priseljenski dvorani naj bi bile ločene čakalne vrste za tuje potnike; potniki z otroki in otroci brez spremstva; poslovni potniki. Vendar pa se pravila praviloma preprosto zanemarijo, da se pospeši postopek priseljevanja, in te vrstice zasedajo vsi brez razlikovanja - izčrpavajoča izkušnja.

Ko prispete do vrtiljaka za prtljago, boste našli proste vozičke in številne nosače, ki se bodo potegovali za vašo prtljago. Najbolje pa je, da konico poravnate, preden jo vključite. Običajno bodo Rs 100 zadovoljili večino. Če odhajate, bodite pripravljeni na dolge zamude zaradi varnosti. Če greste iz domačega v mednarodni ali mednarodni v domači kraj, vas popeljejo izven letališke stavbe in znova vstopite skozi mednarodne ali domače odhode.

Z avtobusom

Ker je Karači največje mesto v Pakistanu, je naravno vozlišče avtobusnih prevoznikov v državi in ​​ga dobro vozijo medkrajevni avtobusi z destinacij iz vse države. Veliko avtobusnih družb na dolge razdalje, tako zasebnega kot javnega sektorja, vozi 24 ur na dan v in iz mesta v vsa večja mesta Pakistana. Potovanje z avtobusom je pogosto najbolj poceni alternativa za vstop v mesto, vendar vam bo treba vložiti nekaj truda in časa. Tako običajni (neklimatizirani) kot luksuzni avtobusi (klimatizirani) vozijo v mesto in iz njega, vendar so luksuzni avtobusi Intercity ponavadi bolj moderni in urejeni. Služijo na lokacijah po vsej državi. Najbolj priljubljeni luksuzni avtobusi so operaterji Daewoo Sammi. Luksuzni avtobusi so klimatizirani, točni, vesoljski, imajo cestno hosteso za potnike in navadno tudi varnostnika na krovu. Poceni avtobusni prevoz do skoraj vseh delov države je zelo pogost. Vsi avtobusi se zdaj ustavijo za kosilo in prigrizke v vnaprej dogovorjenih restavracijah.

V mestu ni ustreznega avtobusnega postajališča, vendar je večina medkrajevnih avtobusov strnjenih na več avtobusnih postajališčih, nekateri največji pa so zunaj železniške postaje Cantonment, v Sohrab Gothu na M-9 in v Saddarju okoli cesarice Market. Ta avtobusna postajališča niso primerna za tiste s srcem, saj so izjemno gneča, hrup in zmeda brez ustreznih peronov. Vstopnice lahko v avtobusu kupite pri prodajalcu ali kiosku avtobusnih prevoznikov.

Potovanje do Karačija iz Hyderabada je stalo približno 200 Rs v klimatiziranih in 250 Rs v klimatiziranem avtobusu, pa tudi na kombiju Hiace, medtem ko je od Sukkurja 500 Rs na klimatiziranih in 700 Rs v klimatiziranih avtobusih in kombijih. Če boste morda želeli potovati s klimatiziranim avtobusom Daewoo, enosmerna voznina iz Sukkurja znaša 1500 Rs, avtobusi pa vozijo čez dan v enournih intervalih, vožnja pa traja sedem ur. In pot v notranjost Balochistana, kot je Gwadar in Turbat stane od 1200 do 2000 Rs z avtobusom mestnega avtobusa Inter v kraju Yousuf Goth, kjer je več kot 20 do 30 prevozov, glavna prevoza sta Al-Habib Travels in Jasum al Faisal. Ti avtobusi vsak dan vozijo od karačija do notranjega Balochistana.

Z vlakom

Prihod v mesto z vlakom je poceni in priročna alternativa, saj je država dobro povezana s preostankom države Pakistanske železnice. Mesto oskrbuje glavna in prometna železniška postaja Karachi Cantonment, kamor prihajajo vlaki iz vsega Pakistana.

Vlakov je v Karačiju na pretek, zato vam ne bi bilo težko najti tistega, ki vam najbolj ustreza. Če potujete iz severnega Pandžaba s prednostjo tako hitrosti kot udobja, oba Pakistan Business Express^{[prej mrtva povezava]} in Karakoram Express sta dobri izbiri. Vsak dan vozijo brez postankov med Lahorejem in Karačijem in so hitrejši od drugih vlakov, saj si vzamejo manj kot 20 ur potovanja, saj se ustavijo le malo, drugi vlaki pa se ustavijo na vsaki večji postaji na progi in običajno tudi zamujajo. . Pakistan Business Express je zasebni vlak poslovnega razreda in ima v kabinah LCD televizor ter ponuja brezplačen čaj, večerjo, zajtrk in pijače med potovanjem. Vstopnice lahko rezervirate po spletu in jih lahko prevzamete prek možnosti dostave na dom, kjer lahko vozovnico plačate s plačilom po povzetju. Karakoram Express nudi nastanitvene enote v ekonomskem in klimatskem razredu. Vstopnica (privez) za Karakoram Express in Pakistan Business Express od Lahora do Karačija v klimatiziranem razredu ne bo stala več kot 5000 Rs.

Z avtom

Avtocesta M-9 splošno znana kot Super Highway, je 136 km dolga avtocesta, ki Karači povezuje s preostalo državo. Najdaljša avtocesta v Pakistanu Državne ceste N-5 Karači povezuje tudi s preostalim delom države preko Hyderabada, vendar se ga običajno izogne ​​v korist krajšega M-9.

Državna avtocesta N-25 (Avtocesta RCD) izvira iz Chamana (pakistansko-iranska meja) in prek Quette, Kalat, Khuzdar in Bela doseže mesto in se priključi na prehod KPT v pristanišču Karachi. Če prihajate iz Gwadarja, vzemite Državna avtocesta N-10 (Obalna avtocesta Makran), ki se kasneje združi z N-25 za Karači. Je slikovita avtocesta, ki sledi obali Arabskega morja.

Obiti

Ko enkrat obesite potovanje v Karačiju, postane to zelo zabavno doživetje. Spoznaš nove ljudi in vidiš nepričakovane stvari. Ni težko najti načina prevoza in če veste, kaj počnete, ga je zelo enostavno obiti. Premikanje po Karačiju ni težko in prevoz ni drag v primerjavi z drugimi mega mesti po svetu, zato morate samo upoštevati ustrezna navodila, da prihranite svoj dragoceni čas in denar. Večina prebivalcev Karačija se zanaša na javni prevoz do svojega delovnega mesta in z njega ter se vsaj enkrat v mestu vozi s taksijem in avto-rikšo. Če niste vajeni pakistanskih cest, lahko vožnja z avtorikšo zaustavi srce, kljubuje smrti in upogne zakone fizike. Začutite pravo pustolovščino v vozilu, ki se mu zdi, da bi lahko razpadlo s hitrostjo več kot 30 km / h z voznikom, ki misli, da je Schumacher.

Potovanje znotraj mesta v času konic (08: 00-10: 00 in 17: 30-19: 00) traja veliko časa, s pogostimi zaporami cest in prometnimi zastoji, vendar še vedno obstajajo stranske ceste in križišča, ki so lahko koristna za izogibajte se blokadam prometa.

Peš

Velik del Karačija je precej sovražen do pešcev z redko označenimi prehodi v mestu in tudi cestni znaki niso dobri. Če pa se res želite sprehajati, vedno poskrbite, da hodite po pešpoti ali če je ni na voljo, kolikor je le mogoče ob cesti in na desni strani nasproti vozečega prometa. Karači je velik in razdalje so dolge, zaradi česar so zanimivi kraji razpršeni daleč naokoli po mestu, toda včasih je sprehod po soseskah dejansko najhitrejši način, da pridemo od točke A do točke B, zlasti v gosto nabitih središčih mesto, kot je Saddar, in ozke ulice starih delov mesta, kjer je hoja dejansko najljubši način za obhod. Cesta sicer ni tako nevaren kraj v Karačiju, a marsikateri pešec je pogosto poškodovan zaradi neprevidnih voznikov - še posebej, če so ceste ozke. Those who are squeamish about pollution or have asthma may need to wear a mask; the air pollution from passing trucks and buses, combined with the searing heat and humidity can be overwhelming at times. And don't expect driver will give you way even if you will have right of passage on pedestrian crossings. Crossing the road can be very dangerous too and it is important to stay alert for erratic driving.

Z rikšo

Rickshaws are a popular method of travelling in Karachi, they're cheap, flexible and are everywhere in the city at any time of day. If you need to travel shorter distances, go by rickshaw. They're small three-wheeled vehicle powered by a two-stroke or four-stroke engine, partially enclosed contraptions (no doors), run on CNG and can seat three people in the back. You can find them everywhere. Set prices beforehand since most are not equipped with meters and if you're over quoted, don't be afraid to walk away. It's usually easy to find another one soon, usually with a driver who won't rip you off. They don't usually follow traffic guidelines, so some might think it's dangerous, but they're perfectly safe and a cheap way to get around, at-least much cheaper than taxis. Pregnant ladies are most strongly advised not to travel by auto-rickshaws since the combination of rash driving, poor suspensions, and horrible road conditions have quite often led to serious complications. The auto-rickshaw is a slow and uncomfortable vehicle and not recommended for very long distances. The rickshaw drivers are generally helpful and If a rickshaw driver offers to show/drive you to some great places to shop, firmly refuse.

If you want a cheap yet effective travel solution then you can try Bike rides offered by Bykea where a bike rider can take you where ever you want to go.

Z avtobusom

Karachi is dominated by jingle minibuses which move back and forth around Karachi and are extremely cheap but they’re a confusing bet for the visitors, with numbers, destinations and stops poorly marked, and buses are horribly crowded and noisy. Outsiders might be put off by the cramped conditions in the buses, and might prefer travelling in taxis or rickshaw, but the most common method of travelling in Karachi is by bus as they're very cheaper, and less than Rs 50 should be enough to take you from one end of the city to the other. For lack of space, people often sit on the roof, or hang from bars, and are jam-packed inside the bus. They are often operated by reckless drivers who do not follow the rules of the road, endangering many. Women have reserved a separate sitting area in the front of the buses near driver. Apart from the main bus stops, buses are usually hailed from street-level. Buses are seldom marked with destination, instead conductor shout out their destinations. Travellers unfamiliar with Karachi can ask conductor or passengers to let them know where there stop is. Simply politely blurt out the name of your destination to the bus conductor or a friendly looking passenger and they will take care of you. Buses will stop anywhere along the route for you and all have conductors, ask either the conductor of tap on the bus door to signal that you wish to stop.

S taksijem

There are plenty of black and white taxis in Karachi. They are convenient, comfortable, and safer than auto rickshaws but cheap by Western standards. If you are alone or going to an unknown destination, this is a good option, even though the rates will be double that of rickshaws. Unlike in most countries, most Black and Yellow taxis in Karachi are not usually marked with "taxi" signs on the top, and do not have even meters inside the cab as well, so you should first fix the charge and the location with the driver before getting in. The official rate per kilometre is less than Rs 10 but expect to pay around double. But taxis are cheap and plentiful (Rs 1,000-1,500 should be enough to take you from one end of the city to the other). Most taxis in Karachi are small-medium sized cars (non air-conditioned), run by their own owners, painted black-and-yellow or only black or only yellow. You can hail a cab off the streets. However, old modelled taxis are quite rickety and dirty so prefer to get one which looks fine from exterior. The cab drivers are possibly reliable and will take passengers to any destination required. Seat belts are not mandatory for taxi passengers and most standard black and yellow taxis will not even have them installed, though expect them in the branded ones.

If you have extra pieces of luggage, the boot (i.e. trunk) of the taxi will not provide sufficient space – one large suitcase is all that will fit there. Hiring a taxi with a top carrier will be better. Top carriers can accommodate up to three large suitcases. Before starting the journey, ensure that the luggage is securely fastened to the carrier.

Generally, the only way to call for the standard taxi is to hail one on the street. This will not be a problem if you are inside city limits but If you are in the suburbs, it will be difficult to find a taxi as they have been out-competed by the cheaper auto-rickshaws. The maximum number of passengers allowed for a trip officially is four — three in the back seat and one in the front.

If you want a more comfortable and air-conditioned ride, it's best to travel by branded cab services (such as Karachi Cab, Metro Radio Cab, Sky Cab^{[mrtva povezava]}, White Cab and many others) that operate with government-approved tariffs so no need to negotiate prices, as they follow fixed rates. These services operate modern fleets with well trained drivers. There are two type of taxi services, regular and call taxis. Regular taxis are normally available at designated taxi stands, at the airport, and at train station while call taxis can be called anywhere in the city and they're available with 30-60 minutes notice. Mostly cars are white Toyota Corolla, they're clean; air-conditioned; equipped with digital, tamper-proof meters; punctual; honest and GPS-equipped and monitored (which makes them far more secure at any time). Respected firms include:

If you want to travel luxury, Travel agents and hotels can arrange private chauffeur driven car of your choice. They are expensive compared to private taxis; however, they are the most trusted, secure, and comfortable way to travel around the city. But the cars provide through hotels for their guests can be charged slightly higher than elsewhere.

Uber in Careem private taxi services are also available in Karachi. You can find the ride though their Mobile Apps and book the trip for your favourite destination. The rates are quite reasonable and drivers are trained to provide a good experience for passengers.

Z avtom

Unless you are into adventure seeking or used to South Asian roads, self-drive in Karachi is not recommended as driving discipline is almost non-existent. Driving is on the right side and the speed limit is 40 km/h in residential areas and usually 80 km/h on arterial roads, but this is only sporadically and capriciously enforced. Driving in Karachi can be a bit difficult and very stressful because of poor driver discipline such as lane discipline is practically non-existent, excessive honking, high vehicle density, lack of regard for traffic law, combined with razor thin passing margins are common, One ride in a taxi will most likely convince you that driving yourself is not worth the risk, so if you do want to arrive by car, you will probably want to hire a car with a driver. which will be better.

Many local and a few international car rental companies (most notably Avis, Europcar, Hertz, and Sixt) operate in the city. Renters will need to provide a valid credit card, a passport or Pakistan national identity card, a cash deposit and their driving licence. Most of the car rental is not so popular among visitors and many car rental companies refuse to provide self-drive cars to visitors unless it chauffeur-driven.

Renting a self driven cars is expensive as well on the Pakistani standard and cars are mostly compact car with Toyota Corolla most popular and rental cost for a day with fuel can be less than Rs 10,000. Parking in the city is not a problem at all since you can park them anywhere but still there which are congested and busy areas, you'll not get parking.

At the southeastern end of Manora island is the tallest lighthouse (28 m high) in Pakistan, which was erected by the British after they captured Karachi's Talpur rulers. The access to lighthouse is unfortunately restricted due to its presence inside the military protected area. Private boats can be hired for around Rs 500-3,000 per hour according to size of boat. If you are also interested in eating fish or crabs, ask the boat owner to arrange some and have a cookout on the boat while you travel. Please avoid taking photographs as it is prohibited when you're touring near the harbour due to its proximity to a Naval base, and other sensitive installations around. Even the boats crew will discourage you to take photos. Aside from the wooden trawlers, ferries are also available. Some captains of boats and ferry offers sea fishing, or even just crabbing but within the harbour. You can spend a romantic evening crabbing in Karachi's coastline beginning at sunset and ending with a delightful crab and seafood feast under the stars in evening.

You can also rent larger boats from Kiamari boat harbour for longer duration to go further away to other islands such as Bundle Island or Buddo Island but you'll have to heavily negotiate to get a better rate, and try to avoid the touts who would be lurking outside in the parking area.

Izdelki, ki jih kupci lahko kupijo v Karačiju, prihajajo iz najrazličnejših virov, od ene od številnih domačih industrij do verodostojnih blagovnih znamk priznanih mednarodnih oblikovalcev. Ne glede na to, ali vas vznemirijo preproste drobnarije, prijetne obrti ali butiki visoke mode, Karachi je raj za kupce in v Karačiju lahko najdete vse, če le vprašate. Na voljo je ogromno zelo dostopnih izdelkov do te mere, da lahko nakupovanje preplavi obisk, če mu dovolite! Po mestu se pojavljajo nakupovalni centri in nakupovalni centri, vendar ne pričakujte tradicionalnih ali edinstveno pakistanskih nakupovalnih izkušenj v nakupovalnih središčih. V mestu je veliko lokalnih sodobnih nakupovalnih središč, kot so Park Towers, The Forum in Dolmen Mall, poleg lokalnih tradicionalnih bazarjev in množice prodajalcev na ulici. Ti lahko trgovina po srcu, na množici trgov in bazarjev, ki pikajo mesto, ali pa lahko kupujete in uživate v enem izmed številnih sodobnih nakupovalnih središč, ki jih najdemo v bolj bogatih mestnih sektorjih, in sicer obrambi in Cliftonu. In ne skrbite preveč za svoj proračun; Karači je poceni mesto za izseljence.

V Karačiju je veliko nakupovalnih mest, od tradicionalnega bazarja do sodobnih nakupovalnih središč. Obiskovalec, ki prvič obišče, naj poskusi obiskati bazarje. Bazarje običajno sestavlja veliko majhnih prodajalcev, ki prodajajo različne izdelke, od dodatkov do oblačil do hrane in pijače. Poleg tega obstajajo večje trgovine, ki so bolj specifične pri svojih izdelkih. Ugotovili bi tudi, da so bazarji kulturno bolj bogata izkušnja. Ena težava je, da ko bodo trgovci ugotovili, da ste izven mesta, vam bodo zaračunali dvojne / trojne cene. Poskusite iti z nekom lokalnim, če lahko, da dobite ugodno ceno.

Nakupovalna izkušnja v mestu je študija v nasprotju. Na spodnjem koncu spektra so ulični prodajalci. Obstoječe na meji zakonitosti so bile tem kramarjem predane celotne ulice in marsikje je po pešpoteh nemogoče hoditi, ker so jim oviro ovirali. Po drugi strani pa vam ti prodajalci pogosto ponujajo odlično ponudbo, vendar se boste morali veliko barantati in paziti, kaj kupiti. Nič ni tako, da vzamete s seboj kakšnega lokalca, ki kupuje za vas.

Karači je verjetno vreden ogleda samo zaradi uličnih tržnic, vrveža prodajalcev in norosti množic. Dobra mesta so kjer koli v Saddarju. Če ste prišli v Karači in niste obiskali tega zelo gostega in natrpanega območja, to pomeni, da niste srečali pravega Karačija. Hawkers in ulični kupci ne prosijo za pravno dovoljenje, nato pa stojnice postavijo na mesta, kjer vidijo največjo možno stopnjo. Od elektronskih predmetov do sveže hrane lahko vse dobite kjer koli.

Večina prodajalcev v Karačiju je odprtih za pogajanja, kar je običajen prizor na večini bazarjev in med prodajalci. Posledično se cene izdelkov zelo razlikujejo med vsemi prodajalci, z izjemo vrhunskih nakupovalnih središč, ki imajo običajno fiksne cene. V Karačiju je tudi splošno znano, da bodite previdni pri pogajanjih s prodajalci, zlasti na bazarjih in s kramarji, saj nenavadnim kupcem pogosto prodajo podstandardno blago po visokih cenah.

Na kuhinjo Karačija močno vpliva mestno muhadžirsko prebivalstvo, ki ima tradicionalno sedež v Karačiju, zato je mesto znano po muhadžirskih okusih v svoji kuhinji, vendar se kuhinje glede na raznolikost etničnega izvora razlikujejo od ene soseske do druge. obstajajo v tem velikanskem velemestu. Biryani je nedvomno najbolj priljubljena hrana med Karačijci s številnimi različicami. Lepota hrane v Karačiju je, da boste verjetno našli kulinariko za vsak okus. Medtem ko je jedilnica v vrhunski restavraciji v Karačiju bolj ali manj enaka kot kjer koli drugje na svetu. Če boste dovolj trdo iskali, boste našli kulinariko s skoraj vseh koncev sveta, ki so zastopani v mestu. Da pa boste resnično okusili tisto, kar je značilno za Karachi, se boste morali spustiti nekoliko nižje po lestvici in preizkusiti ulično hrano. Le nekaj vrhunskih restavracij je v večjih razkošnih hotelih v mestu (Sheraton, Pearl Continental, Mövenpick Hotel in Avari Towers). Za obiskovalca je velika naloga najti "pravi kraj" za jesti v Karačiju, predvsem zato, ker ima, tako kot v vsakem velikem mestu, dobesedno na tisoče prizorišč, od restavracij s hitro prehrano do običajnih verig. do nekaterih najbolj ekskluzivnih restavracij na podcelini, ki privabljajo tiste stranke, ki jim ni treba vprašati za ceno.

Čeprav je zaradi velikih razdalj med restavracijami ne moremo imenovati prehrambena ulica, je obramba sila pomembna. Obstaja nekaj območij, kjer je večina gostov Karačijev in ne turistov, na splošno pa boste tam dobili boljšo hrano in vrednost. Toda mesto ima tudi številne prehrambene ulice, ki so namenjene posebej prehranjevanju. Obloženi so s stojnicami za hrano, restavracijami in drugimi trgovinami s hrano in so običajno pešci.

Čoln Basin ponoči resnično zaživi. Lokalni zajtrk (na primer halwa puri in anda paratha) postrežejo v bazenu Boat-Basin že ob 06:00. Za večino restavracij bo 500 Rs na osebo več kot dovolj.

Higiensko to morda ni najčistejši del mesta, toda če ste ljubitelj hrane in resnično želite okusiti resnično Karachi hrana potem resno je to kraj, kamor se lahko odpravite.

Med kraje, kamor se lahko odpravite sem, spadajo hiša Punjab Lassi za najboljšega Lassija v mestu, Food Center in Sabri Nihari. Poleg teh je po tej ulici raztresenih še veliko več restavracij. Večina restavracij in restavracij sprejema samo gotovino. Številni kraji na ulici so odprti podnevi, toda tako kot Karachi tudi Burns Road ponoči resnično zaživi. 
• Naredi Darjo. Sosednja, a daleč stran od plaže Sea View je edinstvena prehrambena ulica Do Darya, ki leži ob slikoviti morski obali Arabskega morja in hitro postaja zelo znano jedilnico v mestu. Ima edinstveno ugledno ulico hrane v državi, to je edina tovrstna ulica v državi, kjer vas bodo na robu Arabskega morja pričakale orjaške restavracije.

Kljub temu, da ima Karači največ vinotočev, je iskanje novega lahko še vedno težavno, saj večina voznikov taksijev in rikš preprosto zanika, da bi vedela, kje je, saj alkohol v družbi velja za tabu.

Nightlife exists in Karachi and has become the envy of the region.

Karachi has a glut of hotels. Prices range from Rs 1,500 to Rs 95,000 (USD15-1,000). As in any other destination, you get what you pay for!The majority of hotels of interest to visitors from outwith Pakistan are located in the Saddar where both the business district and the heavily touristed areas are.

There are hundreds of proračun hotels and dormitories to sleep in, scattered throughout Saddar, most dotted around Dr Daud Pota Road, south of Empress Market. For USD30 per night you can get a very decent room, with private bathroom, cable TV and air conditioning. Please remember that the cheaper budget hotels often don’t have their own electric generators – a real problem in the oppressive heat of summer during one of Karachi’s many power cuts. Even within the same budget hotel there will often be a range of rooms with varying facilities and prices, but breakfast is not usually provided. Room amenities such as bed linen, soap and even toilet paper may only be provided on request. Budget hotels here are generally male dominated and solo women or couples may feel uncomfortable staying at them. Some places won't even accept women travelling without men at all and it is particularly important for women and couples to personally inspect accommodation first, to make sure it meets their needs.

Ostani varen

Zločin

Since the late 2000s, Karachi has seen many bombings and attacks as well as political and ethnic tensions, since the city has a conspicuous history of problems with terrorism, violent demonstrations, street crime, kidnappings and other negative effects of Islamic fundamentalism, and has become one of the most crime-infested and troubled cities of the region. Several countries started to order their citizens to register with their consulate to receive contact details during extreme situations. Check with your consulate before you travel, if you are required to register, too.

Street crime in Karachi is about what you'd expect in a huge city. Use common sense and avoid dangerous areas such as slums and suburbs with bad reputation such as Orangi town, Malir, New Karachi, and North Karachi where gun crime is getting common, however, there should be no serious danger in the affluent parts of the city. Defence, Nazimabad, Gulshan Lyari and Clifton are regarded as the safest neighbourhoods of Karachi and will offer the most "tourist-friendly" experience of Karachi, given that there will be no language barrier (most Pakistanis can speak some English, and many people in these districts will be completely fluent). Most visitors will find there is a large degree of cultural understanding and compatibility between the residents of Karachi and western tourists.

The people of Karachi are very hospitable. They tend to welcome any foreigner very warmly, but regardless of how nice someone seems you should remain aware and alert at all times.

Women are usually stared at in certain parts of the city, so they should bring along a male relative or friend, to be safe. Women should never ever take lifts from strangers and should be careful not to go out alone at night.

In general, in Karachi, if you are ever worried about your safety, make a loud scene. It is an extremely crowded city, and somebody is always around and willing to help. Keep your money and credit cards safe at all times. Always carry some cash as many places won't take cards. Do not display 5,000 rupee notes in public. Also beware of mobile, chain, or bag snatchers.

Policija

Police can sometimes be almost as shady as criminals in Karachi. Some police officers may be corrupt and unhelpful, while others are very honest and helpful. Surprisingly, it's fine to offer bribes to a police officer in case you violated a traffic rule but possession of firearm, drugs can lead you into trouble.

Karachi has mostly been spared the attacks that have happened in the rest of the country, but "mostly" is a relative term. You should always keep handy the emergency telephone contact numbers of your country's consulate in Karachi.

Promet

Traffic jams are a major hassle in Karachi. Although the city government has built dozens of underpasses and flyovers to get rid of the overflow of the traffic, it is a good idea to keep a look for any rallies/protests and check out alternate routes while travelling in the city. Because it is Pakistan's biggest city, it's the area most affected during strikes and you should do your best to keep a low profile during times of political unrest. Avoid any sort of large gatherings, even positive ones, as there's a good chance you'll become the centre of attention and you probably don't want that from a group of raucous chanters.

Try not to drive in Karachi if you are new to the city since drivers are aggressive and undisciplined and traffic is chaotic. Pollution levels (like most other cities in the subcontinent) are high. It's not common to see local people with face masks on, but at the very least you bi morali carry a handkerchief with you to cover your mouth and nose, especially during rickshaw rides.

Pedestrians should be careful while crossing roads as some drivers will neither slow down nor sound a horn to warn of an impending collision. This also applies when getting out of the car on the traffic side; look both ways until you are off the road and don't hesitate to run if you sense a car barrelling towards you. Minibus drivers are particularly notorious.

Never bribe a police officer or a traffic sergeant if they refuse the offer. Never let any bikers get closer to you, even if they ask for directions. They could be muggers, and you could lose you valuables as the crime rate in Karachi is significant, especially in abandoned or dark areas. While driving, beware of chingchis, rickshaws and motorbikes as they can literally emerge from anywhere right in front of you, and if any accident happens, you will be blamed because you or your car is deemed to be stronger than they or their vehicle. Even worse, irate crowds gather in such situations.

The območna koda for Karachi is 21. (International code 92 if calling from outside Pakistan). Karachi phone numbers are eight digits long.Public Call Offices (PCO), can be found all over the city although they're not so popular nowadays as they once used to be because of vast use of mobile phones now but still you can find a PCO in general or convenience stores; there is usually someone who operates the phone and fax unlike coin operated telephone booths. Rates are usually cheap and will be charged according to the time spent, and you will pay when you have finished your call. Often it is difficult to find one that is open early in the morning or late at night.Cell phone, coverage in the city is excellent.

Cybercafes, locally known as "Internet cafes" can be found on virtually every street corner and the rates at around Rs 50 per hr. They usually don't have a very fast operating system nor good internet speed so don't be too impatient. Theyhey have probably not kept pace with advances in hardware or software, so if you find yourself in one of them, don't be surprised if you are stuck with a really small monitor, Windows XP, and Internet Explorer 5.0. Also data security could be an issue. As a caution, change your password after you use it at a cybercafe or do private/incognito browsing. Most of the cafes in downtown area have a decent speed internet connection with good operating systems.

Dostop do interneta, can be obtained easily on notebook computers with the help of GRPS/3G enabled mobile connections, supported by almost all of the 5 mobile operators. The standard cost of GPRS/EDGE/3G usage is PKR 15-Rs 20/MB of data download with no charges on uploads, Although some provide prepay Unlimited daily/weekly packages, however if you wish to download much more you may want to use unlimited packages, provided by all of the 5 mobile operators. PTCL, Mobilink Infinity, WorldCall, Wateen, Qubee are WiMax internet providers and Wi-Tribe offers USB internet. PTCL 3G/4G evo is also a good highspeed and budget option for internet.

Wifi, Finding Wi-Fi in Karachi is very difficult. However there are several Wi-Fi Hotspots in hotels, malls and cafes/restaurants. If you are in a business district like Shahra-e-Faisal or I.I.Chundrigar Rd, or Malls in Clifton then most of the area will have Wi-Fi.

• Aga Khan Hospital, Stadium Rd. This hospital is by far the best and biggest private hospital in the city, with world class medical care at an affordable cost. However, the free, government hospitals aren't up to par with what some visitors may be used to.
