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.

Foodie tips
Get more out of every meal.
Sindh has few organized, bookable food-tour operators compared to Lahore; most food exploration here is self-guided, on foot or by rickshaw/ride-hailing app between stalls
Nihari is traditionally a breakfast dish; visiting Burns Road or Tariq Road nihari houses in the morning is more authentic than ordering it at dinner
Street food stalls rarely take cards; carry small PKR notes
Sindhi cooking runs spicier and more sour than Punjabi food, especially Sindhi Biryani; ask for dishes 'kam mirch' (less spicy) if preferred
Kharadar and Bohri Bazaar are old, narrow-laned areas best explored on foot in daylight or early evening
Do Darya and Boat Basin restaurants are spread along the coast road, so a rickshaw or short taxi ride between stops is more practical than walking the full stretch
