Sindh is Pakistan's southeastern coastal province, anchored by the sprawling port megacity of Karachi and stretching north along the Indus River to the ancient ruins of Mohenjo-daro. The province blends a major commercial capital with Sufi shrine culture, desert landscapes in the Tharparkar region, and some of South Asia's most significant archaeological and funerary sites, including the UNESCO-listed Makli Necropolis near Thatta.
