Touring Karachi!

We celebrated my sister's thirteenth birthday with her friends and family with a novel guided tour around Karachi. We did this with a new tourist attraction called the Super Savari Express, which took us all around Karachi aboard a typical vibrant mini-bus.

The Super Savari Express

The tour began at 9:00 am on a pleasant Saturday morning, lasted about 5 hours, and was genuinely a lot of fun. We drove through Saddar and I.I. Chundrigar Road, viewing a number of attractions, and stopped over at five: Kabootar Chowk (Pigeon Chowk), Flagstaff House ( Quaid-e-Azam's house), St Patrick's Cathedral, State Bank of Pakistan Museum, and the Truck Art Wall. The tour concluded at California Pizza where we had lunch and cake.

At Kabooter Chowk, we had fun running through the hoards of pigeons, and everyone has a picture with a flock of pigeons flying behind them.

The Flagstaff House was obviously a good experience for all Pakistani children, visiting the majestic house of the great man who founded our country.


Only a handful of the children had ever been to a church before this trip, and found St Patrick's Cathedral to be a beautiful place to visit. It was pleasant to find the Christian community so welcoming and warm to Muslims.


The State Bank Museum tour was very educational and taught us about the money before dollars, pounds, rupees, etc. They have a large collection of coins dating back to even 5000 BC. Their banknotes are also prized antiques.

The last stop at the Truck Art Wall was quick but awesome. We took loads of pictures in front of the bright and vibrant wall art.
