The city is known as “the city of lights” where no one sleeps because of the ongoing activity at all times of the day and night.
In 1947, when Pakistan was formed Karachi was the capital of Pakistan. In the ’60s the capital city was shifted to Islamabad, as Karachi was extremely populated and the economic hub of the country. Karachi accounts for the largest share of Pakistan’s gross domestic product and generates about 65% of the national revenue.
It continues to grow, and in addition to being the host city to most multinational companies, the two largest and busiest ports of the region, Port of Karachi and Port Bin Qasim, were developed in Karachi. The busy and energetic feel of this metropolitan city reflects the lives of all those who live here – it is the home to those who enjoy constant activity and noise as there is a lot to do here.
