Book Flights to Karachi

Magnificent monuments

Stop by one of Karachi’s most sensational landmarks, the Tooba Mosque.

This stunning piece of architecture is famous for its large white marble dome design, and inside you’ll find ornate decorations that take the breath away. Visitors are usually welcome to enter until half an hour before prayer time – just check ahead and be mindful of local restrictions. You should also dress modestly, covering your head, shoulders and knees.

After your flight to Karachi, be sure to visit Mazar E Quaid too. This is the resting place of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. It features an impressive tombstone and museum, displaying the leader’s belongings.

Adventure island

The small and uninhabited Churna Island is located in the Arabian Sea. Spend the day sitting on the golden beach or out in the sparkling ocean among the vivid coral reefs and teeming marine life.

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can try wake tubing, snorkelling or scuba diving. About an hour’s boat ride from Mubarak Village, its sandy beach is perfect for a delicious picnic in a secluded setting.

A shopper's paradise

Karachi is well-known for its bustling markets. Empress Market is the oldest of all – here, the scent of fragrant spices adds to the vibrant atmosphere.

For unusual and charming trinkets, drop by Zainab Market. From clothes, handicrafts, carpets and leather goods, to bags, decorations and shawls, it offers a treasure trove of unique souvenirs. The fabric here is often of superb quality, and the clothes tend to be great value for money.

Popular with locals as well as visitors, bilingual vendors are on hand to help, and it’s usual practice to haggle when purchasing. So be sure to brush up on your bargaining skills after you book plane tickets to Karachi.
