Karachi - Karachi

Karachi^{[mrtva veza]}, bučna, užurbana, neprestano rastuća problematična metropola Pakistana, leži na istočnoj obali Arapskog mora, malo sjeverozapadno od delte rijeke Ind. Najveći grad, i nesumnjivo najvažniji, Karači je bio izvorni glavni grad države. Prostrana golema metropola prerasla je u komercijalno, prometno i političko središte zemlje i upravlja najvećim i najprometnijim lukama u zemlji. Stopa rasta grad tjera ga naprijed na globalnu pozornicu, a Karachi je na putu da postane izuzetno utjecajan igrač.

Karachi nudi nevjerojatnu raznolikost atrakcija i aktivnosti - od sunčanih pješčanih plaža i starih kolonijalnih zgrada prepunih šuma, još uvijek očuvanih i u nekim slučajevima nastanjenih do tradicionalnih bazara i modernih trgovačkih centara. Luksuzni hoteli s pogledom na moderne restorane s okusima iz cijele zemlje i većine svijeta. Od grada čine žarište lokalnih i turističkih aktivnosti.

Izvanredan horizont samo je jedna od prekrasnih atrakcija grada, a ovaj veliki južnoazijski grad priređuje mnoga iznenađenja za sve one koji ih odluče potražiti. U Karachiju živi više od 23 milijuna stanovnika iz cijele zemlje, pa čak i inozemstva, i živahna je tališta kultura i ideja. Posjetitelje će dočekati novo i uzbudljivo iskustvo iza svakog ugla i pri svakom posjetu. Grad je poznat pod nazivom "Grad Kvejda" jer je ovdje rođen, odrastao i proveo svoje posljednje godine osnivač Pakistana, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Osim toga, zbog svoje danonoćne živosti, Karachi se danas popularnije i više nježno naziva "Gradom svjetlosti".

Najraznolikiji i najsvjesniji grad Pakistana, Karachi živi i diše u svom stilu. Najnapredniji grad nacije, često plamti naprijed kao primjer Pakistana koji dolazi, a zbog svoje raznolike šminke ponekad se opisuje kao mini Pakistan, u kojem možete pronaći predstavnike svake pakistanske kulture. Karači je treći najmnogoljudniji grad na svijetu i najveći među muslimanskim svijetom. Zbog toga i njegove prirode koja se topi, tempo života je brži, a socijalni stavovi liberalniji nego drugdje u naciji, a stopa rasta grada čini ga središtem u razvoju u kojem se ljudi iz različitih sredina susreću i oblikuju budućnost budućnosti. gradu i Pakistanu.

“	Još ćeš biti slava Istoka; Želio bih da mogu ponovo doći, Karachi, da te vidim u tvojoj veličanstvenosti	”
—Charles James Napier, povjerenik Sind-a (1843–1847)

Smješten na jugu Pakistana, Karachi je multietnički, višejezični, multikulturni i multireligijski grad, a od 1970-ih glavni grad provincije Sindh. Jedan od najbrže rastućih svjetskih gradova, Karači je najbogatije pakistansko i važno financijsko i industrijsko središte i bavi se većinom inozemne trgovine Pakistana, a čini lavovski udio u BDP-u zemlje. Prema nekim izvorima, također je među najskupljim gradovima na svijetu za život. Unatoč svojoj problematičnoj prirodi koja mu daje lošu reputaciju, i dalje je živčani centar države i financijske snage Pakistana. Grad je poznat po svojoj arhitekturi, glazbenoj sceni, medijskim vezama, financijskim i komercijalnim rezultatima, društvenom utjecaju i prometnim vezama. Danas je mreža mreža za globalizaciju i svjetske gradove rangirana kao beta svijet.

Povijest

Karachi: od grada svjetla do grada noćnih mora Nekad smatran jednim od najljepših gradova na istoku, u kojem je neko vrijeme bilo mirno, uredno, moderno, tolerantno, a danas čisto, zastarjelo, pravovjerno i prljavo. Odmah nakon neovisnosti Pakistana, Karachi je viđen kao progresivan i napredan grad međunarodnih standarda i postao je središte za strane putnike u Pakistan. Grad je u svoje zlatne dane postao prijestolnica zabave, gdje je ugostio stotine kina, desetke užurbanih noćnih klubova i brojne barove i alkoholne piće po cijelom gradu. I dok su droge bile lako dostupne, a alkohol i kockanje legalni, kriminala je bilo daleko manje nego danas: stopa kriminala bila je vrlo niska, a kriminala iz oružja nije bilo. Krajem 1960-ih turistička je industrija u gradu cvjetala i postao je žarište međunarodnih turista s mnogim mladim zapadnim putnicima i "hipi" tipovima koji su ulazili u grad. Sustav javnog prijevoza bio je relativno dobar. Niz gradskih tramvajskih sustava, kao i lokalna željeznička služba, "Kružna željeznica Karachi", nekada su prometovale po cijelom gradu. Trajektna služba Karachi-Mumbai također je bila u funkciji, dok su zračnu luku Karachi opsluživale mnoge glavne svjetske zrakoplovne tvrtke, pa je svrstana među najprometnije zračne luke na svijetu. Ukratko, u odsutnosti političkog, sektaškog i etničkog nasilja, Karachi je projicirao sliku uistinu međunarodnog grada svijeta, ali kako je vrijeme prolazilo, slika grada se drastično mijenjala i postao je sasvim drugi grad kakav je danas.

U 18. stoljeću, stara ribarica Sindhi Balochi, Mai Kolachi, nastanila se u tom području, danas poznatom kao Karachi, kako bi zasnovala obitelj. Do tada se to područje uspostavilo kao mala ribarska zajednica i počelo se nazivati ​​"Kolachi-jo-Goth" ("Selo Kolachi"). Kako je grad počeo trgovati s regijom Perzijskog zaljeva preko Arapskog mora, dobio je na značaju i tako je za njegovu zaštitu izgrađena mala utvrda od blata koja je imala dva glavna vrata: Khaara-dar (Slana vrata) okrenuta moru kao okus podzemlja voda u blizini Arapskog mora bila je slana i Meetha-dar (Slatka vrata), okrenuta prema susjednoj rijeci Lyari od koje su ljudi pronašli pitku vodu prirodnog okusa. Položaj ovih vrata odgovara današnjim lokalitetima Khaara-dar i Meetha-dar.

Grad je razvijen u važnu luku kada je privukao pozornost britanske istočnoindijske tvrtke koja je, nakon slanja nekoliko istraživačkih misija u Sindh, osvojila regiju 1839. godine i stekla kontrolu nad Karačijem. Tijekom ranog Pravila čete, broj stanovnika u gradu bio je samo 15 000. Kasnije 1843. godine grad je postao dio Britanske Indije, a kasnije krajem 1840-ih pretvoren je u glavni grad Sindha. Britanci su shvatili važnost grada kao vojnog kantona i brzo su razvili njegovu luku za brodarstvo i počeli grad razvijati. Poduzet je masovni razvoj infrastrukture, nakon čega su se otvorila nova poduzeća i stanovništvo grada počelo je brzo rasti. Britanski kolonijalisti započeli su niz javnih radova na sanitaciji i prijevozu, a Karachi se brzo pretvorio u grad, istiniti čuveni citat Napier-a za kojeg je poznato da je na odlasku 1847. rekao: "Da li bih mogao ponovo doći da vas vidim u vašoj veličini! "

Za vrijeme Britanskog raja grad je bio najveće urbano središte u današnjem Pakistanu i željezničkom je vezom bio povezan s ostatkom Britanske Indije. Do tada je Karachi uživao ekonomski procvat, a otvaranje Sueskog kanala 1869. godine značilo je da je grad 200 morskih milja bliži Europi za brodarstvo od Bombaja (koji se danas zove Mumbaiju). Stalna zbivanja u gradu rezultirala su velikim prilivom ekonomskih migranata. Stanovništvo grada je do kraja 19. stoljeća bilo oko 105 000. 1876. godine u gradu je rođen Muhammad Ali Jinnah, osnivač Pakistana.

Nakon krvave podjele britanskog Raja i neovisnosti Pakistana, u gradu se dogodio brzi rast koji je postao žarište naseljavanja muslimanskih migranata iz Indije. Stotine tisuća muslimanskih izbjeglica iz Indije potražile su utočište u gradu, a danas je stanovništvo eksplodiralo s oko 450.000 na oko 23,5 milijuna. Izbjegličko naselje u Karachiju gradu je dalo sjevernoindijsku atmosferu, proširilo je gradsko stanovništvo i transformiralo njegovu demografiju i ekonomiju. Prije podjele 1947. u gradu je bilo 50% hinduističkog stanovništva, što se kasnije smanjilo na samo 2% u desetogodišnjem razdoblju 1951. godine, dok muslimansko stanovništvo premašuje 95% 1951. što je prije bilo samo 40% prije podjele potkontinenta .

Karachi je odabran za glavni grad Pakistana od 1947–1958 i postao je živahna metropola, s prelijepim klasičnim i kolonijalnim europskim stilskim zgradama koje okružuju gradske prometnice. Tijekom sljedećih nekoliko desetljeća bio je jedan od najbrže rastućih gradova na svijetu. 1958. godine glavni grad preseljen je iz Karachija u Rawalpindi, a zatim je preseljen u novoizgrađeni Islamabad 1960. Ogromna gomila ilegalnih izbjeglica iz cijelog svijeta nastavila se slivati ​​u grad zbog čega je gradsko stanovništvo i dalje raslo i premašivalo kapacitet svoje škripave infrastrukture. Tijekom 1960-ih Pakistan je u svijetu bio viđen kao ekonomski uzor i to je bilo zlatno doba Karačija. Kaže se da su mnoge zemlje nastojale oponašati pakistansku strategiju ekonomskog planiranja; jedna od njih, Južna Koreja, kopirala je drugi "petogodišnji plan" te zemlje, a Svjetski financijski centar u Seulu dizajniran je i oblikovan po uzoru na Karachi.

Krajem 1980-ih i početkom 1990-ih, grad je zabilježio priljev ilegalnih afganistanskih izbjeglica iz sovjetskog rata u Afganistanu koji su se preselili u Karachi, koji je 2010., prema procjenama, bio između 1,6 i 2 milijuna ljudi, zajedno s tisućama državljana iz mnogih drugih zemalja žive ilegalno u Karachiju bez odgovarajuće dokumentacije. Političke tenzije i etničko nasilje između muhadžira i lokalnih skupina poput etničkih Sindhija i Pandžabija izbile su cijelim gradom i grad je bio pretrpan političkim nasiljem. Kao rezultat toga, pakistanska vojska raspoređena je kako bi uspostavila mir u gradu. Razdoblje od 1992. do 1994. godine smatra se najkrvavijim razdobljem u povijesti grada, kada je vojska započela svoju "operaciju čišćenja" protiv Mohajir Qaumi pokreta.

Klima

Karachi ima relativno blagu i suhu klimu - iako umjerenu verziju ove klime - prilično tijekom cijele godine, jer grad počiva na obali. Karachi ima dvije glavne sezone; ljeto i zima, dok su proljeće i jesen vrlo kratki. Grad uživa tropsku klimu koja obuhvaća topla i vlažna ljeta dok blage i suhe zime; blizina mora održava razinu vlažnosti na gotovo konstantnom visokom i hladnom morskom povjetarcu ublažava vrućinu ljetnih mjeseci, međutim ljetna sezona zadržava se najdulje razdoblje tijekom godine. Zbog visokih temperatura tijekom ljeta (u rasponu od 30-44 ° C od travnja do listopada), zimska sezona koja traje od studenog do ožujka, najbolje je vrijeme za posjet Karachiju. Većina padalina dogodi se tijekom kišne sezone monsuna koja se javlja ljeti od srpnja do kolovoza, povremeno sadrži duge periode kontinuirane kiše. Najviša ikad zabilježena temperatura u Karachiju je 47,8 ° C, a najniža 0 ° C.

Politika

Demografija Karačija važna je jer većinu politike u Karačiju vode i utječu etničke pripadnosti. Karachi je tradicionalno bio uporište Jamaat e Islami tijekom kasnih 1970-ih. Osamdesetih godina nova politička stranka nazvana MQM ustala je kako bi dominirala politikom grada. Smatrana sekularnom političkom strankom, prvotno je osnovana kao studentska organizacija sa sjedištem na nacionalnoj osnovi 1978. godine na poznatom gradskom sveučilištu Karachi kako bi predstavljala muhadžirsku zajednicu i štitila ih od onoga što oni smatraju diskriminacijom i nepravdom. Kasnije je počela raditi kao odgovarajuća politička stranka.

Optužena za izazivanje militantnosti i stvaranje široko rasprostranjenog političkog nasilja u gradu, kritičari stranku često označavaju kao antipakistansku i fašističku i ostaje četvrta najveća politička stranka u zemlji, ali ona koja ima najveći broj mjesta iz Karačija i je dominantna politička snaga u gradu.

Kultura

Ko su muhadžiri? Muhajir je izraz koji potječe od arapske riječi koja znači "migrant". Izraz se u Pakistanu koristi za opisivanje muslimanskih imigranata koji su u vrijeme podjele Britanske Indije između nacija Indije i Pakistana 1947. godine došli iz sjeverne Indije i odlučili se nastaniti u različitim dijelovima zemlje, ali uglavnom u Sindhu, posebno Karachi. Danas muhadžiri čine veliki dio stanovništva Karačija, a slijede ih Pandžabi, Pathani i Sindhi.

Budući da je ekonomsko središte Pakistan, Karachi naseljen je ljudima iz cijele zemlje. Na rubu Indijskog oceana, grad je nedvojbeno raznolik pakistanski lonac za topljenje, miješanje starog i novog, istoka i zapada - stjecište ljudi iz raznih dijelova Pakistana, kao i iz cijelog svijeta. Redovitim prilivom imigranata iz ostatka Pakistana, stanovnici koji se nazivaju "Karachiites" pokazali su izuzetnu toleranciju prema drugim kulturama, čineći je istinskim kulturnim topljenjem, pa se svakodnevni životni stil Karachija bitno razlikuje od načina života ostalih gradova Pakistan. Karachi kulturu karakterizira miješanje utjecaja Bliskog Istoka, Srednje Azije, Južne Azije i Zapada, kao i status grada kao velikog međunarodnog poslovnog središta. U cjelini postoji značajna raznolikost u kulturi, a ta je raznolikost stvorila jedinstveni kulturni amalgam vlastitog tipa. Grad ima kozmopolitsko stanovništvo sastavljeno od mnogih etnolingvističkih skupina i domaćin je najvećeg sloja srednje klase u zemlji. Grad svoj rast pripisuje mješovitom stanovništvu ekonomskih i političkih migranata, zajedno s izbjeglicama različitog nacionalnog, provincijskog, jezičnog i vjerskog podrijetla, koje u grad dolaze trajno se nastaniti. Veliki broj nemuslimana živi u Karachiju u usporedbi s drugim pakistanskim gradovima.

Poduzetnički duh i pulsirajući tempo života oštar su kontrast velikom dijelu Pakistana. Zapanjen raznolikim demografskim podacima Karachija, američki politolog i stručnjak za Južnu Aziju Stephen P. Cohen jednom je izjavio da bi se Karačijeve etničke skupine "dobro slagale, to bi bio nevjerojatno složen grad, sličan New Yorku". Može se usporediti s drugim najvećim azijskim gradom, Mumbaiju, s kojim grad dijeli mnoge sličnosti zbog činjenice da su obje u prošlosti bile britanske kolonije. Karachi je sagrađen u uzastopnim migracijskim valovima s više od milijun novih stanovnika koji se slijevaju svake godine, ne čudi što se strije pokazuju u jednom od najvećih i najbrže rastućih gradova na svijetu. Kvartovi su svoj karakter stekli iz zajednica koje su se tu prvo nastanile. Ove su četvrti previšebrojne da bi ih se moglo navesti i ne postoji uobičajeno prihvaćen način grupiranja tih četvrti u veće četvrti. Ali otprilike, grad se razvijao od juga prema sjeveru.

Karachi se također može pohvaliti jednom od najvećih underground glazbenih scena u zemlji, gdje se tradicionalni glazbeni utjecaji stapaju s modernim, zapadnjačkim stilom stvarajući jedinstvenu marku fusion glazbe. Ovaj je glazbeni stil vrlo popularan u cijelom Pakistanu, a koristi ga većina glazbenih umjetnika u budućnosti. Mnogi glazbenici u nastajanju u zemlji nastanili su se u Karachiju zbog izvrsnih prilika za zapošljavanje u rastućoj industriji zabave u Karachiju. U stvari, Karachi je također dao mnoge poznate umjetnike. Mnoga svježa glazbena djela mogu se naći u kafićima, restoranima i koncertima širom Karačija.

Orijentacija

Karachi je ogroman gradski dužnosnik podijeljen u šest okruga i šest gradova u kantonima, kojima upravlja pakistanska vojska.

• Saddar znači da je "središte" bilo središte Karačija tijekom kolonijalne ere. Četvrt je središnje poslovno područje Karačija i sadrži velik dio najstarijih dijelova grada koji predstavljaju pretkolonijalnu povijest Karačija. Mnogo lijepih primjera kolonijalne arhitekture može se naći na ulicama Saddara koje propadaju. Ovdje većina posjetitelja grada provodi veći dio svog vremena jer su ovdje koncentrirane mnoge povijesne atrakcije i restorani. Saddar se sastoji od nekoliko proračunskih tržnica i bazara na kojima se može kupiti sve, od nakita i odjeće, elektronike do cipela.
• Obrana i Clifton Obje četvrti imaju reputaciju imućnih, otmjenih stanova. Ovdje su kuće, trgovine, trgovački centri i restorani obično uredni, vrlo luksuzni i luksuzni. Izvorno razvijen za smještaj sadašnjeg i umirovljenog vojnog osoblja, danas ga uglavnom zauzima civilna elita grada. Sve u svemu, ovo se smatra lijepim područjem u kojem se može živjeti, jesti i kupovati. Većina gradskih otmjenih restorana i vrhunskih trgovina koncentrirana su u ova dva dijela grada.
• Lyari to je najstarije mjesto u gradu i sadrži velik dio starog Karachija, Lyari je u blizini glavne poslovne četvrti Karachi i nekoliko industrijskih područja, uključujući najprometniju morsku luku u zemlji.

Avionom

• 24.90666767.1608331 Međunarodna zračna luka Jinnah (KHI ^IATA). Je li najprometnija i najveća zračna luka u Pakistanu rukuje i međunarodnim i domaćim letovima. Između 1960-ih i 1980-ih, zračna luka Karachi bila je puno prometnija i bila je stanica za nekoliko glavnih svjetskih zrakoplovnih kompanija za punjenje gorivom. Međutim, pojava dubajske zračne luke, povećana uporaba zrakoplova duljih linija, a kasnije i loša politička klima u Karachiju tijekom 1990-ih doveli su do toga da je nekoliko zrakoplovnih kompanija prekinulo svoju uslugu. To je središte za Pakistan International Airlines, Pakistanski državni prijevoznik koji leti do brojnih međunarodnih odredišta i svi veći gradovi u Pakistanu. Zračna luka je također središte za Zračno plava i Shaheen Air, Druge dvije pakistanske privatne zrakoplovne kompanije koje lete na domaćim i međunarodnim linijama.  

Glavni terminal podijeljen je u dva dvorana - East Satellite Concourse koji se koristi za međunarodne letove i West Satellite Concourse za domaće letove, od kojih svaki ima mostove za utovar putnika, koji se proteže od vrata aerodroma do aerodroma, što putnicima omogućava da ukrcajte se i iskrcajte bez izlaska van ili prebacivanja brodom. Dvije satelitske dvorane također dopunjuju polazne salone zgrade terminala. Donja razina terminala namijenjena je dolaznim putnicima, gdje se posebna traka taksija i divovski McDonald nalazi na samom izlazu iz zgrade terminala za dolazne putnike, dok je gornja razina terminala za putnike koji odlaze.

Sadržaji unutar salona za polijetanje zračne luke uključuju kioske s hranom poput McDonald'sa i Butlers Chocolate Cafea. Tu su i brojni kiosci za banke, bankomati, šalteri za razmjenu novca, kiosci s besplatnim Internetom, džamije, kafići i mnogi pokloni, medicinska trgovina, prodavaonice slastičarnica, punionice za mobilne uređaje i šankovi. Postoji velika bescarinska trgovina koja prodaje prostirke, tepihe, sportsku opremu, medicinske instrumente, oniks, dragulje i još mnogo toga po povoljnim cijenama u međunarodnom području polaska. U terminalu su dostupni i prostori za prtljagu za one koji žele spremiti prtljagu. Besplatna kolica i nosači dostupni su po cijeni od 100 Rs za putnike u domaćem letu i 200 Rs za putnike u međunarodnim letovima. Pomoć invalidima dostupna je na zahtjev zrakoplovne tvrtke prije polaska. Invalidska kolica i pomoć u invalidskim kolicima možete pronaći na stolovima u dolaznom i odlaznom dijelu terminala. CIP Lounge u zračnoj luci mogu besplatno koristiti svi putnici prve / poslovne klase i vlasnici kreditnih kartica, uključujući njihove goste na svim dolaznim letovima, dok Barclays i UBL imaju odvojene salone za korisnike svojih kreditnih kartica. Tu je i PIA Business Class Lounge uz CIP Lounge. Sadržaji aerodromskog CIP Loungea uključuju udoban prostor za sjedenje za opuštanje, pristup vodećim TV kanalima, besplatni wifi, široku paletu grickalica i pića besplatno, novine, časopise, tuš, faks, telefon i mobilne uređaje za punjenje. Restoran McDonalds na licu mjesta nalazi se i ispred glavne zgrade terminala.

Postupci imigracije često su dugotrajan postupak u zračnoj luci Karachi. Uvijek je užurbano s dugim trakovima, posebno na šalterima pakistanskih putovnica, tijekom vršnih sati koji su obično u rano jutro i mogu trajati notorno dugo (više od 30 minuta). U imigracijskoj dvorani trebali bi biti zasebni redovi za strane putnike; putnici s djecom i djecom bez pratnje; poslovni putnici. Međutim, obično se pravila otvoreno ignoriraju kako bi se ubrzao proces imigracije, a te redove svi zauzimaju bez razlike - iscrpljujuće iskustvo.

Kad stignete do vrtuljka za prtljagu, pronaći ćete besplatna kolica, kao i mnoštvo vratara koji se bore za vašu pažnju da nose vašu prtljagu. Međutim, najbolje je riješiti vrh prije nego što ga pritisnete. Obično će Rs 100 zadovoljiti većinu njih. Ako odlazite, budite spremni na velika odgađanja zbog osiguranja. Ako idete iz domaće u međunarodnu ili međunarodnu u domaću zemlju, odvest ćete se ispred zgrade zračne luke i vratit ćete se kroz međunarodne ili domaće polaske.

Autobusom

Budući da je najveći grad Pakistana, Karachi je prirodno središte autobusnih kompanija u zemlji, a dobro ga opslužuju međugradski autobusi s odredišta iz cijele zemlje. Dosta autobusnih kompanija na daljinsko putovanje, privatnog i javnog sektora, prometuje 24 sata dnevno u i izvan grada do svih većih gradova Pakistana. Putovanje autobusom često je najjeftinija alternativa za ulazak u grad, ali trebat će vam malo truda i vremena. I normalni (neklimatizirani) i luksuzni autobusi (klimatizirani) voze se iz grada i iz njega, ali luksuzni autobusi Intercity obično su moderniji i dobro održavani. Opslužuju lokacije punu cijele zemlje. Najpopularniji luksuzni autobusi su operateri Daewoo Sammi. Luksuzni autobusi su klimatizirani, točni, prostrani, imaju hostesu koja će služiti putnicima, a obično je i zaštitar na brodu. Također su vrlo česte jeftine autobusne linije do gotovo svih dijelova zemlje. Svi autobusi sada se zaustavljaju na ručku i međuobrocima u unaprijed dogovorenim restoranima.

U gradu ne postoji odgovarajući autobusni kolodvor, ali većina međugradskih autobusa skupljena je na nekoliko autobusnih stajališta, neka od najvećih su izvan željezničke stanice Cantonment, u Sohrab Gothu na M-9 i u Saddaru oko Carice Market. Ova autobusna stajališta nisu za one koji pate od srca, jer su izuzetno pretrpana, bučna i zbunjujuća bez odgovarajućih perona. Karte se u autobusu mogu kupiti kod konduktera ili u kiosku autobusa.

Putovanje do Karačija iz Hyderabada koštalo je oko 200 Rs u klimatiziranim i 250 Rs u klimatiziranom autobusu, kao i na kombiju Hiace, dok je od Sukkura 500 Rs na neklimatiziranim i 700 Rs u klimatiziranim autobusima i kombijima. Ako možda želite putovati Daewooovim klimatiziranim autobusom, jednosmjerna cijena vožnje od Sukkura iznosi 1500 Rs, a autobusi prometuju tijekom cijelog dana u jednosatnim intervalima, a vožnja traje sedam sati. A putovanje do unutrašnjosti Balochistana poput Gwadara a Turbat je koštao 1200 do 2000 ruskih autobusnih linija gradskog autobusa Inter u vašem mjestu, gdje se prevozi više od 20 do 30, glavni prijevoz su Al-Habib Travels i Jasum al Faisal. Ovi autobusi za prijevoz svakodnevno prometuju od karachija do unutrašnjosti Balochistana ..

Vlakom

Ulazak vlakom u grad jeftina je i prikladna alternativa jer je u državnom vlasništvu dobro povezan s ostatkom zemlje Pakistanske željeznice. Grad opslužuje glavna i prometna željeznička stanica Karachi Cantonment gdje vlakovi stižu iz cijelog Pakistana.

Automobilom

Karači je dobro povezan s ostatkom Pakistana mrežom autocesta s više trakova i do njega je lako doći automobilom. Postoje dva glavna prilaza autocestama Karachi: M-9 i N-25.

Autocesta M-9 obično poznat kao Super Highway, autocesta je duga 136 km koja povezuje Karachi s ostatkom zemlje. Najduža autocesta u Pakistanu Nacionalne autoceste N-5 također povezuje Karachi s ostatkom zemlje preko Hyderabada, ali se obično izbjegava u korist kraćeg M-9.

Nacionalna autocesta N-25 (Autocesta RCD) potječe iz Chamana (pakistansko-iranska granica), a preko Quette, Kalata, Khuzdara i Bele stiže do grada i spaja se na KPT prelet u luci Karachi. Ako dolazite iz Gwadara, uzmite Nacionalna autocesta N-10 (Obalna magistrala Makran) koja se kasnije spaja s N-25 za Karachi. To je slikovita autocesta koja prati obalu Arapskog mora.

Udaljenosti od glavnih pakistanskih gradova do Karačija su: Hyderabad - 160 km, Islamabad - 1.480 km, Lahore - 1.240 km, Pešavar - 1.380 km i Quetta je 700 km.

Zaobiđi se

Jednom kad steknete putovanje u Karachiju, to postaje vrlo zabavno iskustvo. Upoznajete nove ljude i vidite neočekivane stvari. Nije jako teško pronaći način prijevoza, a ako znate što radite, vrlo je jednostavno zaobići ga. Obilazak Karačija nije teško, a prijevoz nije skup u usporedbi s drugim mega gradovima svijeta, a samo morate slijediti odgovarajuće upute kako biste uštedjeli svoje dragocjeno vrijeme i novac. Većina stanovnika Karachija oslanja se na javni prijevoz do i sa svog radnog mjesta te se barem jednom u gradu vozi taksijem i auto-rikšom. Ako niste navikli na pakistanske ceste, vožnja autorikšom može zaustaviti srce, prkositi smrti, zakone fizike. Osjetite pravu avanturu u vozilu koje se osjeća kao da bi se moglo raspasti brzinom većom od 30 km / h s vozačem koji misli da je Schumacher.

Putovanje unutar grada u vrhuncu (08: 00-10: 00 i 17: 30-19: 00) oduzima puno vremena, uz česte blokade cesta i zagušenja prometa, ali još uvijek postoje sporedne ceste i raskrsnice koje mogu biti korisne za izbjegavajte blokade prometa.

Pješice

Velik dio Karačija prilično je neprijateljski nastrojen prema pješacima, a rijetko su obilježene i pješačke staze u gradu, a ni putokazi nisu dobri. Ali, ako stvarno želite hodati okolo, uvijek osigurajte da hodate pješačkom stazom ili ako nije dostupna, što dalje uz cestu i s desne strane okrenute prema nadolazećem prometu. 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.

Autobusom

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.

Taksijem

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^{[mrtva veza]}, 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 i 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.

Automobilom

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.

Vlakom

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.

Vidjeti

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. Boats in Kiamari may offer marvellous tour and views of the Karachi beach and Port of Karachi of varying durations and prices.

Kupiti

Karachi je trgovačka prijestolnica zemlje, a Karachiites su strastveni kupci. Kao takav, Karachi se može pohvaliti nevjerojatnom raznolikošću u pogledu kupovine, udovoljavajući nečijim željama i budžetu. Proizvodi koje kupci mogu kupiti u Karachiju dolaze iz širokog spektra izvora, od jedne od brojnih domaćih kućnih radinosti do autentične odjeće poznatih međunarodnih dizajnera. Bilo da vas uzbuđuju jednostavne sitnice, lijepa rukotvorina ili butici visoke mode, Karachi je raj za kupce i u Karačiju se može pronaći sve ako samo pitate. Ogroman niz vrlo pristupačnih proizvoda nudi se do te mjere da kupnja može nadvladati posjet ako mu dopustite! Širom grada pojavljuju se trgovački centri u zapadnom stilu i trgovački centri, ali ne očekujte tradicionalno ili jedinstveno pakistansko iskustvo kupovine u trgovačkim centrima. Grad ima mnogo modernih, vrhunskih trgovačkih centara kao što su Park Towers, The Forum i Dolmen Mall, uz lokalne tradicionalne bazare i mnoštvo prodavača na ulici. Možeš dućan do mile volje, na masivnom spektru tržnica i bazara koji okružuju grad, ili možete kupovati i uživati ​​u jednom od brojnih modernih trgovačkih centara koji se nalaze u bogatijim gradskim sektorima, naime u Defenseu i Cliftonu. I ne brinite previše o svom budžetu; Karachi je jeftin grad za iseljenike.

U Karachiju postoje mnoga mjesta za kupnju, od tradicionalne čaršije do modernih trgovačkih centara. Prvi posjetitelj trebao bi probati posjetiti bazare. Bazar se obično sastoji od mnogih malih prodavača koji prodaju razne proizvode, od pribora do odjeće, hrane i pića. Uz to, postoje veće trgovine koje su specifičnije u svojim proizvodima. Također bi se moglo utvrditi da su bazari kulturno obogaćujuće iskustvo. Jedan je problem u tome što će vam trgovci, kad otkriju da ste izvan grada, naplatiti dvostruke / trostruke cijene. Pokušajte otići s nekim mještanom ako želite da biste postigli dobru cijenu.

Shopping iskustvo u gradu studija je na kontrastima. Na donjem kraju spektra nalaze se ulični prodavači. Postojeći na granici zakonitosti, cijelim su ulicama predane ovim sokolarima, a na mnogim mjestima je nemoguće hodati pješačkim stazama, jer su im preprečili put. S druge strane, ovi dobavljači često vam daju odlične pogodbe, iako ćete se morati puno cjenkati i paziti što kupiti. Nema ništa poput povezivanja lokalnog kupca da kupuje umjesto vas.

Karachi vjerojatno vrijedi posjetiti samo zbog uličnih tržnica, gužve prodavača i ludila gužve. Dobra mjesta su bilo gdje u Saddaru. Ako ste došli u Karachi i niste posjetili ovo vrlo gusto i gužvo područje, znači da niste upoznali pravi Karachi. Sokolovi i ulični kupci ne traže nikakvo zakonsko dopuštenje, a zatim postavljaju svoje štandove na mjestima na kojima vide maksimalni hod. Od elektroničkih predmeta do svježe hrane, sve možete dobiti bilo gdje.

Većina dobavljača u Karachiju otvorena je za pregovore, što je uobičajena pojava na većini bazara i među kramarima. Kao rezultat toga, cijene proizvoda izuzetno se razlikuju kod svakog dobavljača, osim u luksuznim trgovačkim centrima visoke klase, koji obično imaju fiksne cijene. U Karachiju je također opće znanje biti oprezan kada se cjenkate s dobavljačima, posebno na bazarima i s kramarima, jer nesvjesnim kupcima često prodaju nekvalitetnu robu po visokim cijenama. Prividne strance, posebno, često otimaju.

Vrhunac kupovine doseže tijekom bajramske sezone, jer u grad dolaze ne samo etablirane tvrtke već i dobavljači iz cijele zemlje kako bi prodali svoju robu velikom broju stanovnika grada, od kojih je većina srednja klasa i relativno bogata u odnosu na većinu drugim dijelovima zemlje.

Isjeckan je vrlo čest na većini barata u Karačiju - zato nemojte se ustručavati pregovarati o cijenama. U cjelini, kupovina u Karachiju zanimljivo je, uzbudljivo, ali često zamorno iskustvo.

Piće

Dobivanje alkohola je lakše i manje uznemirujuće nego u ostatku Pakistana, ali ipak je pijenje alkohola na javnim mjestima, uključujući restorane, zabranjeno i strogo obeshrabreno, a samo legalne vinoteke smiju prodavati alkohol. Znakovi vinoteka obično su označeni plavim i crvenim prugama (što znači da su legalizirani), nemaju prostor za sjedenje i piće, uglavnom prodaju lokalno proizvedene marke poput pivovare Murree i obično su zatvoreni petkom. Iako Karachi ima najveći broj vinoteka, no pronalazak jedne može za njega biti gnjavaža jer većina taksista i rikša jednostavno poriče da zna gdje se trgovina nalazi, jer se alkohol u društvu smatra tabuom.

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.

Crime

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 treba 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.

Spojiti

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.
