Pakistan's Tallest for a LONG time! MCB Tower, which is 5m taller now takes the title, though this is still my favorite!
Karachi is a city in southern Pakistan, and the capital of Sindh Province, on the Arabian Sea, at the northwestern edge of the Indus River delta. The hub of a sprawling metropolitan area, Karachi is the nation's largest city and its chief transportation, financial, commercial, and manufacturing center. Most of the international trade of Pakistan and landlocked Afghanistan pass through the city's busy modern port, centered on the island of Kiamari. Major highways and railroads focus on the city, and the modern airport here is a stopover and refueling point for intercontinental flights to more than 40 airlines. Among the many products of Karachi are steel, textiles, chemicals, refined petroleum, footwear, machinery, handicrafts, and processed food. The city also is an important banking center and has a stock exchange. The University of Karachi (1951) and NED University of Engineering and Technology (1922) are here. The tomb of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, founder of Pakistan, is a landmark.
An old settlement, Karachi was a small fishing and trade center when captured by the British in 1839 and annexed three years later. Under British rule, it became the chief outlet for Indus Valley cotton and grain exports. After Pakistan became independent (1947), Karachi was the new nation's capital until it was replaced by Rawalpindi in 1959. During the early years of independence it grew rapidly as the chief port and industrial center of West Pakistan, and many Muslim refugees from India settled here.
