Ormara is a town in Gwadar District in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. It is a port city (25° 16′ 29N 64° 35′ 10E) located in the Makran coastal region. It is located 360 kilometers (220 mi) west of Karachi and 230 kilometers (140 mi) east of Gwadar on the Arabian Sea. This port is also mentioned in Periplus of the Erythraean Sea as Oraea Going towards Gwadar through the Makran Coastal Highway, Ormara comes in midway between Karachi and Gwadar. Its historical routes are linked with Alexander the Great, who stayed there with his army for a few days on his way back from the Indus region after conquering the lands of Sindh, Punjab, and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa regions of modern-day Pakistan in 400 BC.

One of his generals, Ormoz, died there, and the present-day city was named after him. For a few centuries, Ormara remained a battlefield between the Baloch Sardar (local feudal) and foreign aggressors. Before independence, it was part of the state of Las Bela and afterward, it became part of the Makran Division. Being an isolated town, it remained undeveloped; however, after the construction of the Makran Coastal Highway and Jinnah Naval Base, life has taken a positive change for the locals with many local industries and the resultant increase in jobs available for the locals
