Karachi - Karachi

Karachi^{[surnud link]}, lärmakas, elav, pidevalt kasvav probleemne metropol Pakistan, asub Araabia mere idarannikul, Induse jõe delta äärest loodes. Suurim linn ja vaieldamatult kõige olulisem Karachi oli rahva algpealinn. Laiuv tohutu metropol on kasvanud riigi kaubandus-, transpordi- ja poliitiliseks sõlmpunktiks ning haldab riigi suurimaid ja tihedamaid sadamaid. Linna kasvutempo tõukab selle edasi globaalsele areenile ja Karachi on teel massiliselt mõjukaks mängijaks.

Karachi pakub märkimisväärset valikut vaatamisväärsusi ja tegevusi - alates päikeselistest liivarandadest ja harilikest vanadest koloniaalhoonetest, mis on endiselt säilinud ja mõnel juhul asustatud, kuni traditsiooniliste turgude ja moodsate kaubanduskeskusteni. Kõrgekvaliteedilistest luksushotellidest avaneb vaade moodsatele restoranidele, kus on maitsed üle kogu rahva ja suure osa maailmast. Nad muudavad linna kohalikuks ja turismialaseks tegevuskohaks.

Tähelepanuväärne siluett on vaid üks linna imelistest vaatamisväärsustest ja see suur Lõuna-Aasia linn pakub palju üllatusi kõigile, kes otsustavad neid otsida. Karachis elab üle 23 miljoni elaniku kogu riigist ja isegi välismaalt ning see on elav kultuuride ja ideede sulatusahi. Külastajaid ootab iga nurga tagant ja igal külastusel uus ja põnev kogemus. Linn on tuntud kui "Quaidi linn", kuna Pakistani asutaja Muhammad Ali Jinnah sündis, kasvas ja veetis siin oma viimased aastad. Lisaks ööpäevaringsele elavusele nimetatakse Karachit nüüd rahva seas ja hellitavalt kui "Tulede linn".

Pakistani kõige mitmekesisem ja kosmopoliitsem linn Karachi elab ja hingab oma stiiliga. Rahvuse kõige arenenum linn põleb tulevase Pakistani näitena sageli edasi ja seda mitmekülgse meigi tõttu kirjeldatakse mõnikord kui minipakistani, kust leiate iga Pakistani kultuuri esindajaid. Karachi on rahvaarvult kolmas linn maailmas ja moslemimaailma seas suurim. Selle ja selle sulamisahju olemuse tõttu on elutempo kiirem ja sotsiaalne suhtumine liberaalsem kui mujal rahvas ning linna kasvutempo muudab selle arenevaks sõlmpunktiks, kus erineva taustaga inimesed kohtuvad ja kujundavad linna tulevikku. linn ja Pakistan.

Saage aru

“	Sa oled veel ida au; kas ma saaksin uuesti tulla, Karachi, su suursugususes sind nägema	”
—Sindi volinikud (1843–1847) Charles James Napier

Pakistani lõunaosas asuv Karachi on paljurahvuseline, mitmekeelne, mitmekultuuriline ja religioosne linn ning alates 1970. aastatest Sindi provintsi pealinn. Üks maailma kõige kiiremini kasvavaid linnu on Karachi Pakistani jõukam ning oluline finants- ja tööstuskeskus, mis tegeleb suurema osa Pakistani väliskaubandusega ja moodustab lõviosa riigi SKPst. Mõnede allikate järgi on see elamine ka maailma kõige kallimate linnade hulgas. Hoolimata rahutust olemusest, mis annab talle halva maine, on see jätkuvalt riigi majanduse närvikeskus ja Pakistani finantsvõim. Linn on tähelepanuväärne oma arhitektuuri, muusikamaastiku, meediumilinkide, finants- ja kaubandusliku väljundi, sotsiaalse mõju ja transpordiühenduste poolest. Täna on see üleilmastumise ja maailma linnade uurimisvõrgustiku hinnangul beetamaailma linn.

Ajalugu

Karachi: valguslinnast õudusunenäodeni Kunagi peetud üheks kõige kaunimaks linnaks idas, kus varem oli rahulik, korrapärane, moekas, salliv ja puhas, on see nüüd rahutu, vananenud, õigeusu ja räpane. Kohe pärast Pakistani iseseisvumist nähti Karachit progressiivse ja jõuka rahvusvaheliste standarditega linnana ning sellest sai Pakistani välisreisijate keskus. Linn sai oma kuldsel ajal meelelahutuspealinnaks, kus ta võõrustas sadu kinosid, kümneid elavaid ööklubisid ning arvukaid baare ja alkoholipoode kogu linnas. Ja kuigi uimastid olid kergesti kättesaadavad ning alkohol ja hasartmängud olid seaduspärased, oli kuritegevust palju vähem kui tänapäeval: kuritegevuse määr oli väga madal ja relvakuritegevus puudus. 1960-ndate aastate lõpuks oli linna turismitööstus õitsemas ja sellest oli saanud rahvusvaheliste turistide leviala, kus paljud noored lääneriikide rändurid ja "Hippy" tüüpi linnad seiklesid. Ühistranspordisüsteem oli suhteliselt hea. Varem tegutsesid kogu linnas mitmed linnatrammiteede süsteemid ning kohalik rongiteenus "Karachi ringraudtee". Töötas ka Karachi-Mumbai praamiteenus, samal ajal kui Karachi lennujaama teenindasid paljud maailma suuremad lennufirmad ja seega kuulutati see maailma kõige tihedama liiklusega lennujaamade hulka. Lühidalt, poliitilise, usulahu ja etnilise vägivalla rohkuses projitseeris Karachi kuvandi tõeliselt rahvusvahelisest linnast maailmas, kuid aja möödudes muutus linnapilt drastiliselt ja sellest sai hoopis teine ​​linn, mis ta praegu on.

18. sajandil asus Sindhi Balochi vana kalurist naine Mai Kolachi perekonda looma piirkonnas, mida tänapäeval nimetatakse Karachiks. Selleks ajaks loodi see piirkond väikese kalurikogukonnana ja seda hakati nimetama "Kolachi-jo-Goth" ("Kolachi küla"). Kui linn hakkas Pärsia lahe piirkonnaga üle Araabia mere kaubitsema, sai see tähtsuse ja seepärast ehitati selle kaitseks väike mudakindlus, millel oli kaks peamist väravat: Khaara-dar (soolane värav), mis oli mere poole kui maa-alune maitse. vesi oli Araabia mere lähedal soolane ja Meetha-dar (Magus värav), mis oli suunatud külgneva Lyari jõe poole, mille inimesed leidsid loodusliku maitsega joogivett. Nende väravate asukoht vastab praegustele Khaara-dari ja Meetha-dari paiknemistele.

Linn kujunes oluliseks sadamaks, kui see oli pälvinud Briti Ida-India ettevõtte tähelepanu, kes pärast paari uurimismissiooni saatmist Sindhi vallutas piirkonna 1839. aastal ja sai kontrolli ka Karachi üle. Varajase ettevõtte reegli ajal oli linna elanikke vaid 15 000. Hiljem 1843. aastal sai linn Briti India osaks ja hiljem 1840. aastate lõpus tehti sellest Sindi pealinn. Inglased mõistsid linna kui sõjalise kantsi tähtsust ja arendasid kiiresti oma sadamat laevanduse jaoks ning asusid linna arendama. Tehti ulatuslik infrastruktuuri arendus, millele järgnesid uute ettevõtete avanemine ja linna elanikkonna kiire kasv. Briti kolonialistid alustasid mitmeid avalikke kanalisatsiooni- ja transporditöid ning Karachi muutus kiiresti linnaks, tehes Napieri kuulsa tsitaadi, kes teadaolevalt ütles oma lahkumisel 1847. aastal: "Kas ma võiksin tulla uuesti teid vaatama oma suursugususes! "

Briti rajooni ajal oli linn praeguse Pakistani suurim linnakeskus ja raudteeühenduse kaudu ühendatud ülejäänud Briti Indiaga. Selleks ajaks nautis Karachi majanduslikku buumi ja Suessi kanali avamine 1869. aastal tähendas, et linn oli meretranspordiks 200 meremiili Euroopale lähemal kui Bombay (nüüd nimetatakse seda) Mumbai). Linna pidev areng tõi kaasa majandusmigrantide suure sissevoolu. Linna elanike arv oli 19. sajandi lõpuks umbes 105 000. 1876. aastal sündis linnas Pakistani asutaja Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

Pärast Briti Ravi verist jagamist ja Pakistani iseseisvumist toimus linnas kiire kasv ja see oli muutunud India moslemitest migrantide asustamise fookuseks. Sajad tuhanded Indiast pärit moslemipõgenikud otsisid linna põgenikke ja elanikkond plahvatas täna umbes 450 000-lt hinnanguliselt 23,5 miljonini. Karachi pagulasasustus andis linnale Põhja-India õhkkonna, samuti laiendas linna elanikkonda ning muutis selle demograafiat ja majandust. Enne jagamist 1947. aastal oli linnas 50% hindu elanikkonnast, mis hiljem vähenes kümne aasta jooksul 1951. aastal vaid 2% -ni, samas kui moslemite populatsioon ületas 1951. aastal 95%, mis oli enne mandri jagamist ainult 40% .

Karachi valiti aastatel 1947–1958 Pakistani pealinnaks ja temast sai elav metropol, mille kaunite klassikaliste ja koloniaalsete Euroopa stiilis hoonetega vooderdati linna maanteed. Järgmise aastakümne jooksul oli see üks kiiremini kasvavaid linnu maailmas. 1958. aastal viidi pealinn Karachist Rawalpindisse ja seejärel koliti 1960. aastal vastvalminud Islamabadisse. Suur hulk ebaseaduslikke pagulasi kogu maailmast voolas linna jätkuvalt, mis pani linna elanikkonna kasvama ja ületama oma kriuksuva infrastruktuuri läbilaskevõime. 1960. aastatel nähti Pakistani kogu maailmas majandusliku eeskujuna ja see oli Karachi kuldajastu. Väidetavalt püüdsid paljud riigid jäljendada Pakistani majanduse planeerimise strateegiat; üks neist, Lõuna-Korea, kopeeris riigi teise "viieaastase plaani" ning Soulis asuv Maailma finantskeskus on kujundatud ja eeskujuks Karachi järgi.

1980. aastate lõpus ja 1990. aastate alguses kolis linna Karachisse sisse ebaseaduslike Afganistani Nõukogude sõjast pärit Afganistani pagulaste arv, kes 2010. aastal oli hinnanguliselt 1,6–2 miljonit inimest koos tuhandete paljude teiste riikide kodanikega. elavad ebaseaduslikult Karachis ilma nõuetekohase dokumentatsioonita. Poliitiline pinge ja etniline vägivald Muhajiri ning kohalike rühmade, nagu etnilised sindid ja punjabid, vahel puhkesid üle kogu linna ja linna kimbutas poliitiline vägivald. Seetõttu paigutati Pakistani armee linna rahu taastamiseks. Ajavahemikku 1992–1994 peetakse linna ajaloo kõige verisemaks perioodiks, mil armee alustas Mohajir Qaumi liikumise vastu oma operatsiooni „Puhastus”.

Kliima

Karachis on suhteliselt leebe ja kuiv kliima - ehkki selle kliima mõõdukas versioon - üsna aastaringselt, sest linn puhkab rannikul. Karachil on kaks peamist hooaega; suvi ja talv, samas kui kevad ja sügis on väga lühikesed. Linnas valitseb troopiline kliima, mis hõlmab sooja ja niisket suve, samal ajal kui pehme ja kuiv talv; mere lähedus hoiab niiskustaset peaaegu konstantsel kõrgel ja jahedad meretuuled leevendavad suvekuude kuumust, kuid suvehooaeg püsib aasta jooksul kõige kauem. Tänu suvistele kõrgetele temperatuuridele (aprillist oktoobrini vahemikus 30–44 ° C) on novembrist märtsini kestev talveperiood parim aeg Karachi külastamiseks. Enamik sademeid toimub mussooni vihmaperioodil suvel juulist augustini, aeg-ajalt esinevad pikad pideva vihma ilmad. Karachi kõigi aegade kõrgeim registreeritud temperatuur on 47,8 ° C, samas kui madalaim on 0 ° C.

Poliitika

Karachi demograafia on oluline, kuna enamikku Karachi poliitikat juhib ja mõjutab etniline kuuluvus. Karachi oli traditsiooniliselt Jamaat e Islami tugipunkt kuni 1970. aastate lõpuni. 1980. aastatel tõusis linna poliitikas domineerima uus poliitiline partei MQM. Ilmalikuks erakonnaks peetuna asutati seda 1978. aastal linna tuntud Karachi ülikoolis rahvuspõhise üliõpilasorganisatsioonina, et esindada Muhajiri kogukonda ja kaitsta neid diskrimineerimise ja ebavõrdsuse eest. Hiljem hakkas see töötama korraliku erakonnana.

Linnas süüdistati sõjakuse tekitamises ja laialdase poliitilise vägivalla tekitamises. Kriitikud nimetavad seda parteid sageli Pakistani-vastaseks ja fašistlikuks ning on endiselt riigi suuruselt neljas, kuid kõige rohkem kohti Karachist pärit erakond. on linnas domineeriv poliitiline jõud.

Kultuur

Kes on muhajirid? Muhajir on termin, mis pärineb araabiakeelsest sõnast, mis tähendab "migrant". Seda terminit kasutatakse Pakistanis moslemitest sisserändajate kirjeldamiseks, kes Briti India jagunemise ajal India ja Pakistani riikide vahel 1947. aastal tulid Põhja-Indiast ja otsustasid elama asuda riigi eri piirkondadesse, kuid enamasti Sindhi, eriti Karachi. Tänapäeval moodustavad muhajirid suure osa Karachi elanikest, neile järgnevad punjabid, pataanid ja sindid.

Olles Madalmaade majanduskeskus Pakistan, Karachis elavad inimesed üle kogu riigi. India ookeani äärealal on linn vaieldamatult Pakistani mitmekesine sulatusahi, vanade ja uute, ida ja lääne segunemine - inimeste ühinemine nii Pakistani erinevatest osadest kui ka kogu maailmast. Kuna mujalt Pakistanist saabub regulaarselt sisserändajaid, on elanikud, keda kutsutakse karahhiitideks, üles näidanud märkimisväärset sallivust teiste kultuuride suhtes, muutes selle tõeliseks kultuuriliseks sulatusahjuks ja seetõttu erineb Karachi igapäevane eluviis oluliselt teiste linnade omast Pakistan. Karachi kultuuri iseloomustab Lähis-Ida, Kesk-Aasia, Lõuna-Aasia ja Lääne mõjude segunemine ning linna kui rahvusvahelise ärikeskuse staatus. Tervikuna on kultuuris märkimisväärne mitmekesisus ja see mitmekesisus on andnud ainulaadse omalaadse kultuuriliidu. Linnas elab kosmopoliitne elanikkond, mis koosneb paljudest etnolingvistilistest rühmadest ja kus asub riigi suurim keskklassi kiht. Linn panustab oma kasvu majanduslike ja poliitiliste sisserändajate segapopulatsioonile koos erineva rahvusliku, provintsilise, keelelise ja usulise päritoluga pagulastega, kes tulevad linna alaliselt elama. Karachis elab teiste Pakistani linnadega võrreldes palju mittemoslemeid.

Ettevõtlusvaim ja pulseeriv elutempo on terav vastand suurele osale Pakistanist. Karachi mitmekülgsest demograafiast hämmastades väitis Ameerika politoloog ja Lõuna-Aasia ekspert Stephen P. Cohen kord, et kui Karachi etnilised rühmad "saavad hästi läbi, oleks see hämmastavalt keeruline linn, palju nagu New York". See võib olla võrreldav Aasia teise suurima linnaga, Mumbai, kellega linn jagab palju sarnasusi, kuna mõlemad on varem olnud Briti kolooniad. Karachi ehitati järjestikuste migratsioonilainetega, kus igal aastal voolas üle miljoni uue elaniku, pole üllatav, et venitusarmid ilmuvad ühes maailma suurimas ja kiiremini kasvavas linnas. Naabruskonnad omandasid oma iseloomu kogukondadelt, kes sinna esimesena elama asusid. Neid naabruskondi on loetlemiseks liiga palju ja pole ühist aktsepteeritud viisi nende naabruskondade suuremateks rajoonideks rühmitamiseks. Kuid laias laastus arenes linn lõunast põhja.

Karachi uhkuseks on ka üks riigi suurimaid põrandaaluseid stseene, kus traditsioonilised muusikalised mõjutused segunevad moodsa lääne stiiliga, et luua ainulaadne fusion-muusika kaubamärk. See muusikastiil on olnud väga populaarne kogu Pakistanis ja seda kasutavad enamus kogu riigi esilekerkivaid muusikakunstnikke. Paljud riigi esilekerkivad muusikud on asunud Karachisse suurepäraste töövõimaluste tõttu Karachi kasvavas meelelahutustööstuses. Tegelikult on Karachi tootnud ka palju tunnustatud artiste. Paljusid rahva värskeid muusikalisi sündmusi võib leida kogu Karachi kohvikutest, restoranidest ja kontsertidest.

Orienteerumine

Karachi on tohutu linnaametnik, mis on jagatud kuueks rajooniks ja kuueks kantonilinnaks, mida haldavad Pakistani sõjavägi.

• Saddar tähendab, et "keskus" oli koloniaalajal Karachi keskus. Naabruskond on Karachi keskne äripiirkond ja sisaldab paljusid vanimaid linnaosi, mis tutvustavad Karachi eelkolonialistlikku ajalugu. Paljusid koloniaalarhitektuuri näiteid võib leida Saddari rabavatelt tänavatelt. See on koht, kus enamik linna külastajatest veedavad suure osa ajast, kuna siia on koondunud paljud ajaloolised vaatamisväärsused ja söögikohad. Saddar koosneb mitmest eelarveturust ja turust, kus saab osta kõike alates ehetest ja rõivastest, elektroonikast kuni kingadeni.
• Kaitse ja Clifton Mõlemad linnaosad tunnevad end jõukana, uhke eluasemega. Siin on kodud, kauplused, kaubanduskeskused ja restoranid tavaliselt korras, ülimalt kvaliteetsed ja luksuslikud. Algselt töötati välja praeguste ja pensionil olevate sõjaväelaste majutamiseks, kuid praegu on selles peamiselt hõivatud linna tsiviileliit. Üldiselt peetakse seda toredaks piirkonnaks, kus elada, süüa ja osta. Enamik linna luksuslikest restoranidest ja tipptasemel kauplustest on koondunud nendesse linnaosadesse.
• Lyari see on linna vanim paikkond ja sisaldab suurt osa vanast Karachist. Lyari asub Karachi peamise äripiirkonna ja paljude tööstuspiirkondade, sealhulgas riigi kõige tihedama meresadama lähedal.

Tule sisse

Lennukiga

• 24.90666767.1608331 Jinnahi rahvusvaheline lennujaam (KHI ^IATA). Kas Pakistani kõige tihedam ja suurem lennujaam tegeleb nii rahvusvaheliste kui ka siselendudega? Aastatel 1960–1980 oli Karachi lennujaam palju tihedam ja peatus mitmete maailma suurte lennufirmade tankimiseks. Dubai lennujaama esilekerkimine, pikamaalennukite kasutuse suurenemine ja hiljem Karachi kehv poliitiline õhkkond 1990. aastatel põhjustasid mitme lennuettevõtja teenuse katkestamise. See on keskpunkt Pakistan International Airlines, Pakistani riigile kuuluv riiklik lennuettevõtja, mis lendab arvukatesse rahvusvahelistesse sihtkohtadesse, ja kõik Pakistani suuremad linnad. Lennujaam on ka sõlmpunkt Õhusinine ja Shaheen Air, Pakistani kaks ülejäänud eralennufirmat, mis mõlemad lendavad sise- ja rahvusvahelistel liinidel.  

Peamine terminal on jagatud kaheks - rahvusvaheliste lendude jaoks mõeldud East Satellite Concourse ja siselendudeks mõeldud West Satellite Concourse, kus mõlemal on reisijaid laadivad sillad, mis ulatuvad lennujaama terminali väravast lennukini, võimaldades reisijatel pardale ja maha, ilma õue minemata või süstikutega ümber istudes. Kaks satelliitkonkursi täiendavad ka terminalihoone väljumissalonge. Terminali alumine tasand on saabuvatele reisijatele, kus saabuvate reisijate jaoks on terminalihoone väljapääsu juures spetsiaalne taksode rada ja hiiglaslik McDonald, samal ajal kui terminali ülemine tasand on väljuvatele reisijatele.

Lennujaama väljumissalongide sees on sellised toidukioskid nagu McDonald's ja Butlers Chocolate Cafe. Lisaks on seal mitmeid panga kioskeid, sularahaautomaate, rahavahetuse lette, tasuta Interneti-kioskeid, mošeesid, kohvikuid ja palju kingitusi, meditsiinipoodi, lähikauplusi, magusapoode, mobiilseid laadimispunkte ja suupistete lette. Rahvusvahelises väljumispiirkonnas on suur tollimaksuvaba pood, kus müüakse odavate hindadega vaipu, vaipu, spordikaupu, meditsiiniriistu, oonüksit, kalliskive ja palju muud. Terminalis on pagasiruumid saadaval ka neile, kes soovivad pagasit hoida. Tasuta kärude ja porterite teenused on saadaval siseriiklike lennureisijate jaoks 100 ja rahvusvaheliste lennureisijate jaoks 200 rubla. Puuetega inimestele osutatav abi on lennufirmalt enne väljumist saadaval. Ratastooli ja ratastooli abi leiate terminali saabumis- ja väljumisaladest. Lennujaama CIP Lounge'i saavad tasuta kasutada kõik esimese / äriklassi reisijad ja krediitkaardi omanikud, sealhulgas nende külalised kõigil väljuvatel lendudel, samas kui Barclays ja UBL on oma krediitkaardi klientidele eraldi salongid. CIP Lounge'i kõrval on ka PIA äriklassi salong. Lennujaama CIP Lounge'is on mugav istumisnurk lõõgastumiseks, juurdepääs juhtivatele telekanalitele, tasuta wifi, lai valik suupisteid ja jooke tasuta, ajalehed, ajakirjad, dušš, faks, telefon ja mobiilsed laadimisvõimalused. Kohapeal on ka McDonaldsi restoran, mis asub ka peamise terminalihoone kõrval.

Sisserändeprotseduurid on Karachi lennujaamas sageli pikaajaline protsess. Pikkade sõiduradadega on see alati ärev, eriti Pakistani passilettides, tipptundidel, mis on tavaliselt varahommikul, ja see võib võtta märkimisväärselt kaua aega (rohkem kui 30 minutit). Sisserände saalis peaksid välisreisijatele olema eraldi järjekorrad; lastega reisijad ja saatjata lapsed; ärireisijad. Tavaliselt eiratakse sisserändeprotsessi kinnitamiseks reegleid otsekoheselt ja kõik need liinid on valimatult hõivatud - kurnav kogemus.

Pagasikarussellile jõudes leiate nii tasuta kärusid kui ka hulga pordimehi, kes soovivad teie tähelepanu pagasi kandmiseks. Parim on siiski jootraha lahendada enne, kui sellega tegelete. Tavaliselt rahuldab enamus neist Rs 100. Kui lahkute, olge valmis pikaks viivitamiseks turvalisuse kaudu. Kui sõidate kodumaisest rahvusvaheliseks või rahvusvahelisest kodumaiseks, viiakse teid väljaspool lennujaama hoonet ja sisenete uuesti rahvusvaheliste või kodumaiste väljumiste kaudu.

Bussiga

Pakistani suurim linn on Karachi riigi bussifirmade loomulik sõlmpunkt ja seda teenindavad hästi linnadevahelised bussid kogu riigist. Palju nii era- kui ka avaliku sektori kaugbussifirmasid sõidavad ööpäevaringselt linnas ja väljaspool kõiki Pakistani suuremaid linnu. Bussireis on linna sisenemiseks sageli kõige odavam alternatiiv, kuid see võtab veidi aega ja aega. Nii tavalised (konditsioneerimata) kui ka luksusbussid (konditsioneeriga) sõidavad linnast sisse ja välja, kuid Intercity luksusbussid kipuvad olema moodsamad ja hästi hoitud. Nad teenivad asukohti, mis on punktiiritud üle kogu riigi. Kõige populaarsemad luksusbussid on operaator Daewoo Sammi. Luksusbussid on konditsioneeritud, täpsed, ruumikad, neil on reisijate teenindamiseks tee-perenaine ja tavaliselt on pardal ka turvatöötaja. Odav bussiliiklus peaaegu kõikidesse riigi osadesse on samuti väga levinud. Kõik bussid peatuvad nüüd lõunatamiseks ja suupistete jaoks eelnevalt kokku lepitud restoranides.

Linnas pole korralikku bussipeatust, kuid enamik linnadevahelisi busse on koondatud mitmesse bussipeatusse, mõned suuremad neist asuvad väljaspool Cantonmenti raudteejaama, M-9 Sohrab Gothis ja Keisrinna turu ümbruses Saddaris. Need bussipeatused pole sugugi nõrga südamega, olles äärmiselt rahvarohked, lärmakad ja segadust tekitavad, ilma korralike platvormideta. Pileteid saab bussis osta bussioperaatorite konduktorilt või kioskist.

Sõit Karachisse Hyderabadist maksis umbes 200 Rs konditsioneerimata ja 250 Rs konditsioneeritud bussis, samuti Hiace kaubikuga, Sukkur Rs 500 aga konditsioneerimata ja 700 Rs konditsioneeritud bussi ja kaubikuga. Kui soovite reisida Daewoo konditsioneeritud bussiga, on Sukkurist ühesuunaline hind 1500 Rs ja bussid sõidavad kogu päeva tunniste intervallidega ja sõit võtab seitse tundi. Ja reis Balochistani sisemusse nagu Gwadar ja Turbat maksis Inter-bussiterminaliga Yousuf Goth, kus on rohkem kui 20 kuni 30 transporti, 1200–2000 Rs, põhitranspordid on Al-Habib Travels ja Jasum al Faisal. Need transpordibussid sõidavad igapäevaselt Karachist Balochistani sisemusse.

Rongiga

Rongiga linna jõudmine on odav ja mugav alternatiiv, kuna riigi omandis on see ülejäänud riigiga hästi ühendatud Pakistani raudteed. Linna teenindab suur ja hõivatud raudteejaam Karachi Cantonment, kuhu saabuvad rongid kogu Pakistanist.

Ronge on Karachi jaoks palju, nii et teil ei tohiks olla raskusi endale sobivaima leidmisega. Kui reisite Punjabi põhjaosast prioriteedina nii kiiruse kui mugavuse poolest, siis mõlemad Pakistani äriekspress^{[varem surnud link]} ja Karakorami ekspress on head valikud. Nad sõidavad Lahore ja Karachi vahel iga päev vahetult ja on kiiremad kui muud rongid, võttes vähem kui 20-tunnise sõiduaja, sest nad teevad vaid mõned peatused, samas kui teised rongid peatuvad marsruudi igas suuremas jaamas ja hilinevad tavaliselt ka . Pakistan Business Express on eraõiguslik äriklassi rong, mille kajutites on LCD-televiisor. Kogu teekonna vältel pakutakse tasuta teed, õhtusööki, hommikusööki ja jooke. Pileteid saab broneerida veebis ja neid saab kätte kojuvedu kaudu, kus saate pileti eest tasuda järelmaksuga. Karakorami ekspress pakub majutust nii turistidele kui ka õhuklassidele. Karakoram Expressi ja Pakistan Business Expressi pilet (kai) Lahorest Karachisse konditsioneeritud klassis maksab mitte rohkem kui 5000 Rs. Pakistani raudtee Green Line teenus Islamabadi ja Karachi vahel pakub reisijatele tasuta WiFi-ühendust, sealhulgas tasuta hommikusööki.

Autoga

Karachi on mitmerealiste kiirteede võrgu kaudu hästi ühendatud ülejäänud Pakistaniga ja sinna pääseb hõlpsasti autoga sõites. Karachile on kaks suurt maanteede lähenemist: M-9 ja N-25.

Kiirtee M-9 üldiselt tuntud kui supermaantee, on 136 km pikkune kiirtee, mis ühendab Karachit ülejäänud riigiga. Pakistani pikim maantee Riigimaanteed N-5 ühendab Karachi Hyderabadi kaudu ka ülejäänud riigiga, kuid tavaliselt välditakse lühema M-9 kasuks.

Riigimaantee N-25 (RCD Highway) pärineb Chamanist (Pakistani-Iraani piir) ning Quetta kaudu jõuavad Kalat, Khuzdar ja Bela linna ning ühinevad Karachi sadamas KPT Flyoveriga. Kui tulete Gwadarist, võtke Riigimaantee N-10 (Makrani ranniku magistraal), mis hiljem ühineb N-25-ga Karachi jaoks. See on maaliline maantee, mis kulgeb Araabia mere rannikul.

Kaugused Pakistani suurematest linnadest Karachisse on: Hyderabad - 160 km, Islamabad - 1480 km, Lahore - 1240 km, Peshawar - 1380 km ja Quetta on 700 km.

Liigu ringi

Kui olete Karachis reisimise hõlma saanud, saab sellest väga lõbus kogemus. Kohtute uute inimestega ja näete ootamatuid asju. Liikumisviisi pole väga raske leida ja kui teate, mida teete, on liikumiseks väga lihtne. Karachis liikumine pole keeruline ja transport ei ole kallis võrreldes teiste maailma megalinnadega ning peate oma väärtusliku aja ja raha säästmiseks järgima vaid õigeid juhiseid. Enamik Karachi elanikest loodab ühistransporti oma töökohta ja tagasi ning sõidab linnas vähemalt korra taksoga ja rikšaga. Kui te pole Pakistani teedega harjunud, võib automaatriksiga sõitmine olla südant peatav, surma trotsiv, füüsikaseadusi painutav. Tunne tõelist seiklust sõidukis, mis tundub, et see võib üle 30 km / h kiirusel laguneda koos juhiga, kes arvab, et ta on Schumacher.

Tipptundidel linnas (08: 00-10: 00 ja 17: 30-19: 00) reisimine võtab palju aega, sageli esinevad ummistused ja liiklusummikud, kuid siiski on kõrvalteid ja ristmikke, mis võivad olla kasulikud vältida liiklusblokeeringuid.

Jalgsi

Suur osa Karachist on üsna jalakäijavaenulik, linnas on harva tähistatud ülekäigurajad ja ka liiklusmärgid pole head. Kuid kui soovite tõesti ringi jalutada, veenduge, et kõnnite jalgteel või kui seda pole, siis võimalikult kaugele tee äärde ja paremale vastassuunas liikuva liikluse poole. Karachi is big and distances are long which makes places of interest scattered far and wide all over the city but sometimes, walking in the neighbourhoods may actually be the fastest way to get from point A to point B particularly in the densely packed downtown areas of the city such as Saddar and the narrow streets of the old parts of the city where walking is actually a favoured way to get around. The road is not that dangerous a place in Karachi, but many pedestrians are often injured by careless drivers – especially when the roads are narrow. 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.

By rickshaw

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.

Bussiga

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.

Taksoga

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^{[surnud link]}, 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 ja 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.

Autoga

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.

Rongiga

Part of the Karachi Circular Railway, a railway ring around the central parts of the city, reopened in late 2020 after having been dormant for almost two decades. The line is mostly aimed at commuters with a limited number of departures. Frequency are however projected to increase when the full ring is completed around 2022.

Vaata

There is a lot to see in Karachi, but the typical "tourist" sights are concentrated in downtown district of Saddar which is fairly spread out and where there's a collection of buildings and structures of varied architectural styles. The British built variety of private and public buildings during British Raj from 1858 to 1947 in Karachi, many of which colonial buildings and landmarks still remains today. Saddar is a chaotic tumble of goods, people, and vehicles and getting lost in Saddar can make for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. According to some reports, the city possesses over 600 protected buildings dating largely to the British period. Few of fine examples colonial buildings still remain today but unfortunately not well preserved and most of them deteriorated over time due to lack of heritage preservation. On the other hand, Karachi is undergoing a construction boom and hold a number of buildings whose height exceeds 100 metres.

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. There are also two ferry boats run by government, which run twice daily and can take you to Manora island free of charges. 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. One of the best ways to see Karachi coastline is from the waters of Karachi.

Osta

Karachi on riigi ostupealinn ja karachiidid on innukad ostjad. Sellisena uhkeldab Karachi ostude osas uskumatult mitmekülgselt, kohandades kellegi eelistusi ja eelarvet. Tooted, mida ostjad saavad osta Karachist, pärinevad paljudest allikatest, alates ühest paljudest kohalikest kodutööstustest kuni tunnustatud rahvusvaheliste disainerite autentsete kaubamärgiriietusteni. Olgu need lihtsad nipsasjakesed, kena käsitöö või kõrgmoe butiigid, mis teid sisse lülitavad, Karachi on poeskäijate paradiis ja Karachist võib leida kõike, kui te seda lihtsalt palute. Pakutakse tohutut valikut väga taskukohaseid tooteid sinnamaani, et ostlemine võib külastuse üle jõu käia, kui lubate! Lääne stiilis kaubanduskeskused ja ostukeskused ilmuvad üle linna, kuid ärge oodake kaubanduskeskustes traditsioonilist või ainulaadset Pakistani ostukogemust. Linnas on palju kohalikke kõrgekvaliteedilisi kaubanduskeskusi, nagu Park Towers, The Forum ja Dolmen Mall, lisaks kohalikele traditsioonilistele turgudele ja hulgaliselt tänavaäärseid müüjaid. Sa saad pood oma südameasjaks on tohutult palju linnu tähistavaid turge ja turge, või saate osta ja nautida ühte paljudest kaasaegsetest kaubanduskeskustest, mida leidub kogu linna jõukamates sektorites, nimelt Defense ja Clifton. Ja ärge muretsege oma eelarve pärast liiga palju; Karachi on odav linn väliseestlaste jaoks.

Karachis on palju ostukohti, alates traditsioonilisest basaarist kuni moodsate kaubanduskeskusteni. Esmakordne külastaja peaks proovima turge külastama. Bazaarid koosnevad tavaliselt paljudest väikestest müüjatest, kes müüvad mitmesuguseid tooteid alates aksessuaaridest kuni rõivaste ning söögi ja joogini. Lisaks on suuremaid kauplusi, mis on oma toodetes täpsemad. Samuti võib järeldada, et turud on kultuuriliselt rikastavam kogemus. Üks probleem on see, et kui poepidajad saavad teada, et olete linnast väljas, küsivad nad teilt topelt- / kolmekordset hinda. Hea hinna saamiseks proovige minna kellegi kohaliku elanikuga.

Linna ostukogemus on kontrastide uuring. Spektri alumises otsas on tänavakaupmehed. Seaduslikkuse piiril on nendele röövikutele antud terved tänavad ja paljudes kohtades on võimatu kõndida jalgteedel, sest nad on tee blokeerinud. Teisest küljest pakuvad need müüjad teile sageli head tehingut, kuigi peate palju ostma ja olema ettevaatlik, mida osta. Ei ole midagi sellist, nagu võtaksite kohaliku kaasa ostmiseks.

Karachit tasub külastada ilmselt vaid tänavaturgude, müüjate sagimise ja rahvahulga hulluse pärast. Head kohad on kõikjal Saddaris. Kui tulite Karachisse ja külastasite seda väga tihedat ja rahvarohket piirkonda, tähendab see, et te ei kohtunud tõelise Karachiga. Hawkers ja tänavaostjad ei küsi seaduslikku luba ja seavad seejärel oma kioskid kohtadesse, kus nad näevad maksimaalset jala. Alates elektroonikaseadmetest kuni värske toiduni saate kõike, kuhu iganes.

Enamik Karachi müüjaid on avatud läbirääkimistele, mis on tavaline vaatepilt enamikul turgudel ja kaubaaluste seas. Seetõttu varieeruvad toodete hinnad igal müüjal tohutult, välja arvatud tipptasemel kaubanduskeskused, kus on tavaliselt fikseeritud hinnad. Karachis on ka üldteadmine olla ettevaatlik müüjatega läbirääkimisi pidades, eriti turgudel ja kaubitsejatega, kuna nad müüvad teadmatutele ostjatele sageli kõrgekvaliteedilisi kaupu. Eelkõige nähtavaid välismaalasi riisutakse sageli ära.

Eid-hooajal jõuab ostmine oma haripunkti, sest mitte ainult loodud ettevõtted, vaid ka müüjad üle kogu riigi tulevad linna oma kaupu müüma linna suurele elanikkonnale, kellest enamus on keskklassi ja enamusega võrreldes enam-vähem kindlustatud. mujal riigis.

Kaubitsemine on enamikus Karachi turgudes väga levinud - seega ärge kartke hindade osas läbirääkimisi pidada. Üldiselt on Karachis ostlemine huvitav, virgutav, kuid sageli väsitav kogemus.

Sööma

Karachis on palju restorane, alates kiirtoidust, kiirest juhuslikust, juhuslikust söögikohast kuni peene õhtusöögini, samuti mitmetest fantastilistest tipptasemel restoranidest, kus pakutakse tohutut ja laia valikut kohalikke ja rahvusvahelisi roogasid, näiteks (Itaalia, Hiina, Jaapani, Araabia, Korea, Lõuna-India jne). Karachi kööki mõjutavad tugevalt linna muhajirlased, kes on traditsiooniliselt asunud Karachis, seega on Muhajiri poolest tuntud linn oma köögi maitsega, kuid köögid varieeruvad piirkonniti, arvestades etnilise päritolu mitmekesist olemust. eksisteerivad selles hiiglaslikus suurlinnas. Biryani on karahhiitide seas vaieldamatult populaarseim toit, millel on arvukalt variante. Toidu ilu on Karachis see, et tõenäoliselt leiate kööki igale maitsele. Kui einestamiskogemus Karachi kõrgekvaliteedilises restoranis on enam-vähem sama mis mujal maailmas. Piisavalt otsides leiate kööki praktiliselt igast linna esindatud linnast. Kuid Karachi ainulaadse maitse tõelise maitse saamiseks peate minema skaalal veidi madalamale ja kogema tänavatoitu. Vähesed tipptasemel restoranid asuvad linna suuremates luksushotellides (Sheraton, Pearl Continental, Mövenpick Hotel ja Avari Towers). Külastaja jaoks on tohutu ülesanne leida Karachist "õige söögikoht" suuresti seetõttu, et nagu igas suures linnas, on sõna otseses mõttes tuhandeid kohti, kust valida, alates kiirtoiduliidest, peavoolukettidest kuni lõpuni kuni mõnede subkontinendi kõige eksklusiivsemate restoranideni, mis meelitavad sellist klientuuri, et pole vaja hinda küsida. Teiselt poolt võib hõlpsasti leida rahvusvaheliste kiirtoidukohtade frantsiisi nagu KFC, McDonalds, Subway, Papa Johns, Mr Cod, Henny's, Pizza Hut, Domino's, Penny Pizza.

Kaitse- ja Cliftoni linnaosades on sadu restorane, nii väikseid kui ka suuri, mis on täis peeneid einestamisvõimalusi, trendikaid ja rõõmsamaid restorane, söögikohti ja kohvikuid. Kuigi restoranide vaheliste suurte vahemaade tõttu ei saa seda nimetada toidutänavaks, on Defense siiski arvestatav jõud. On piirkondi, kus enamus sööjaid on karahhiidid, mitte turistid ja üldiselt saate seal paremat toitu ja väärtust. Kuid linnas on ka palju toidutänavaid, mis on pühendatud spetsiaalselt väljas söömisele. Need on vooderdatud toiduputkade, restoranide ja muude toidupoodidega ning on tavaliselt jalakäijatega. Neist on saanud sotsiaalne norm, kus inimesed kasutavad neid ametlike ja mitteametlike kohtumisaladena. Neid kohti saab külastada isegi päeval, kuid kõige paremini külastatakse neid õhtul. Mõned kõige populaarsemad toidupiirkonnad on:

• Paadibassein. Miilipikkune vabaõhusööklate ja restoranide gastronoomiline naudinguriba. Paadibassein on koht, kus lõpetavad peaaegu kõik Karachi hilja pidutsevad kodanikud, sest siin on sageli toitu kuni viie või kuueni hommikul ja mõned restoranid pakuvad ööpäevaringselt. Saadaval vabas õhus einestamisvõimaluse tõttu muutub see koht linna populaarseimaks hangouti kohaks. Nagu Burns Road, pakub ka see elav tänav tohutult erinevaid kohalikke toite, jooke ja kõrbe. Öö saab tõeliselt elama paadikauss. Kohalikus stiilis hommikusööki (näiteks halwa puri ja anda paratha) serveeritakse paadibasseinis juba kell 06:00. Enamikus söögikohtades on 500 Rs inimese kohta enam kui piisav. Kui te pole eksperimenteeriv tüüp, on alati olemas rahvusvaheline kiirtoiduvõimalus lisaks autentsele ja traditsioonilisele toidule. 
• Burns Road (Saddar). Burns Road on ajalooline traditsiooniline ja elav toidutänav, mis pakub tohutut valikut kohalikke toite ja jooke. Igasuguse eelarvega autentsete ja traditsiooniliste toitude jaoks on see koht. Tänavamajas on lugematu arv kuulsaid ja ainulaadseid söögikohti, kus pakutakse oma eriroogasid. Rahvarohke Burn Road on uudishimulikele sööjatele ja toidusõpradele kohustuslik vaatamisväärsus. Parima maitsega Nihari, Sajji, Bottis ja Tikkas leiate sellest vana Karachi ülekoormatud nurgast. Enamik siin asuvaid restorane on ehitatud tõeliselt vanadesse iseseisvuse-eelsetesse viktoriaanlikesse hoonetesse, mis annavad justkui tunde, et olete Delhi vana rahvarohkes osas. Hügieeniliselt ei pruugi see olla linna puhtaim osa, kuid kui olete suur toidutegija ja soovite tõesti maitsta päris Karachi toit siis tõsiselt on see koht, kuhu suunduda. Kui toidu valmistamise hügieen on teie jaoks tõesti probleem, siis on parim võimalus pöörduda Toidukeskusesse. Siia suunduvad kohad hõlmavad Punjabi Lassi maja linna parima Lassi jaoks, toidukeskust ja Sabri Niharit. Peale nende on tänaval palju rohkem söögikohti. Enamik restorane ja söögikohti aktsepteerib ainult sularaha. Paljud tänava kohad on päeval avatud, kuid nagu Karachi ise, ärkab Burns Road öösel tõeliselt ellu. 
• Tehke Darja. Merevaate rannast kõrval, kuid kaugel on ainulaadne toidutänav Do Darya, mis asub Araabia mere maalilises meres ja on kiiresti muutumas linnas väga tuntud söögikohaks. Selle maine on riigi üks uhke toidutänav, see on ainus omataoline toidutänav riigis, kus teid tervitavad hiiglaslikud restoranid, mis asuvad Araabia mere ääres. Siin on mitu restorani, kus pakutakse einestamisvõimalusi sise- ja välistingimustes. Siin pakub kivine kallas krevette, mida kasutatakse söödaks kala püüdmiseks. Võite tunda jahedat, lõõgastavat meretuult, nautida mõnusat õhkkonda ja ranna kohal olevaid onnid, mis pakuvad täisväärtuslikku elamust. Restoranide valik on siin lõputu.

Juua

Alkoholi hankimine on lihtsam ja vähem ahistav kui mujal Pakistanis, kuid siiski on avalikes kohtades, sealhulgas restoranides, alkoholi joomine keelatud ja tungivalt keelatud ning alkoholi müüa tohib ainult legaalsetes veinipoodides. Veinipoodide sildid on tavaliselt tähistatud siniste ja punaste triipudega (mis näitab, et need on legaliseeritud), neil pole ala istumiseks ja joomiseks, enamasti müüakse kohalikult toodetud kaubamärke nagu Murree Brewery ja reedeti on need tavaliselt suletud. Ehkki Karachis on kõige rohkem veinipoode, kuid siiski võib selle leidmine uustulnukale tülitseda, sest enamik takso- ja rikšajuhtidest lihtsalt eitavad kaupluse asukoha teadmist, kuna alkoholi peetakse ühiskonnas tabuks.

Kohvikukultuur on linnas tõusuteel ja seal on arvukalt suurepäraseid kohti istumiseks ja õhtute veetmiseks. Kohvipoode, sigarite salonge, mahla- ja jäätisesalonge on palju ja neid on kogu linnas laiali, enamasti kaitse- ja Cliftoni piirkondades. Ööelu on Karachis elavam kui teistes Pakistani linnades, kuigi ööklubisid ei saa hõlpsasti leida (välja arvatud mõned üksikud, mis on üle linna hüpanud, kuid on väga privaatsed), on mõned fantastilised restoranid, mis pakuvad igapäevaselt muusikalisi ja teatrietendusi. .

Nightlife exists in Karachi and has become the envy of the region. Bars, nightclubs and dance halls have sprouted across the city and some people have also made entertainment venues in their own homes, but these are not easy to find. There are no open 'night clubs' in the city; however, periodic special events are organised in various venues about once every two months – spread by word-of-mouth.

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 budget 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.

Kuritegevus

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.

Police

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.

Traffic

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 peaks 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.

Ühendage

The area code 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.

Internet Access, 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.

Wi-Fi, 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.

Cope

• 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.
