Eng katta shahar va shubhasiz, eng muhimi, Karachi millatning asl poytaxti edi. Keng tarqalgan ulkan metropol mamlakatning savdo, transport va siyosiy markaziga aylandi va mamlakatdagi eng katta va eng gavjum portlarni boshqaradi. Shaharning o'sish sur'ati uni global sahnaga olib chiqmoqda va Karachi katta ta'sirchan o'yinchiga aylanish yo'lida.
Karachi diqqatga sazovor joylarni va tadbirlarni taklif etadi - quyoshli, qumli plyajlar va qirg'iylar yuqtirgan eski mustamlaka binolaridan tortib to hanuzgacha saqlanib kelinayotgan va ayrim hollarda u yashaydigan joylarda an'anaviy bozorlar va zamonaviy savdo markazlariga qadar. Hashamatli hashamatli mehmonxonalar butun mamlakat va butun dunyodagi turli xil ta'mga ega zamonaviy restoranlarga e'tibor bermaydilar. Ular shaharni mahalliy va sayyohlik faoliyati uchun issiq joyga aylantiradi.
Ajablanarli manzara - bu shaharning ajoyib diqqatga sazovor joylaridan biri, va Janubiy Osiyoning ushbu buyuk shahri ularni izlashga qaror qilgan har bir kishiga juda ko'p kutilmagan hodisalarni taqdim etadi. Karachida butun mamlakat va hatto chet ellardan kelgan 23 milliondan ortiq aholi istiqomat qiladi va madaniyat va g'oyalarning jonli erituvchisi. Mehmonlarni har bir burchakda va har bir tashrifda yangi va qiziqarli tajriba kutib oladi. Shahar "Quaid shahri" nomi bilan tanilgan, chunki Pokiston asoschisi Muhammad Ali Jinna tug'ilib o'sgan va so'nggi yillarini shu erda o'tkazgan. Kecha-kunduz tirikligi tufayli, Karachi endi ko'proq mashhur va mehr bilan "Chiroqlar shahri" deb nomlanadi.
Pokistonning eng xilma-xil va kosmopolit shahri Karachi o'ziga xos uslub bilan yashaydi va nafas oladi. Xalqning eng rivojlangan shahri, u tez-tez kelajakdagi Pokistonning misoli sifatida alangalanadi va o'zining xilma-xilligi tufayli ba'zida har bir Pokiston madaniyati vakillarini topishingiz mumkin bo'lgan mini-Pokiston deb ta'riflanadi. Karachi aholisi soni bo'yicha dunyoda uchinchi va musulmon olami orasida eng yirik shahar. Shu sababli va uning erishi tabiiyligi sababli, hayot sur'ati millatning boshqa joylariga qaraganda tezroq va ijtimoiy munosabat erkinroq va shaharning o'sish sur'ati uni rivojlanayotgan markazga aylantiradi, u erda turli xil kelib chiqishi bo'lgan odamlar uchrashadi va kelajak kelajagini belgilaydi. shahar va Pokiston.

| “ | Siz hali ham Sharqning shon-sharafi bo'lasiz; seni ulug'vorligingda ko'rish uchun yana kelishni istasam, Karachi | ” |
—Charles Jeyms Napier, Sind komissarlari (1843–1847) | ||
Pokistonning janubida joylashgan Karachi ko'p millatli, ko'p tilli, ko'p madaniyatli va ko'p dinli shahar bo'lib, 1970-yillardan beri Sind viloyatining poytaxti. Dunyoning eng tez rivojlanib borayotgan shaharlaridan biri bo'lgan Karachi Pokistonning eng boy va muhim moliyaviy va sanoat markazidir va Pokistonning chet eldagi savdosining katta qismini boshqaradi va mamlakat YaIMidagi sher ulushiga ega. Ba'zi manbalarga ko'ra, u dunyodagi eng arzon shaharlar qatoriga kiradi. Xavfli tabiatiga qaramay, u yomon obro'ga ega bo'lishiga qaramay, u mamlakat iqtisodiyotining asab markazi va Pokistonning moliyaviy qudratiga aylanib kelmoqda. Shahar o'zining me'morchiligi, musiqiy sahnasi, ommaviy axborot vositalari bilan aloqalari, moliyaviy va tijorat mahsulotlari, ijtimoiy ta'siri va transport aloqalari bilan ajralib turadi. Bugungi kunda u Globallashuv va Jahon shaharlari tadqiqotlari tarmog'i tomonidan beta-dunyo shahri sifatida qayd etilgan.
Tarix
Karachi: chiroqlar shahridan kabuslar shahriga Bir paytlar sharqning eng go'zal shaharlaridan biri sifatida qaralgan, u erda tinchlik, tartiblilik, moda, bag'rikenglik va tozalik ishlatilgan, hozirda bezovtalangan, eskirgan, pravoslav va iflos. Pokiston mustaqillikka erishganidan so'ng, Karachi xalqaro darajadagi ilg'or va gullab-yashnagan shahar sifatida ko'rildi va Pokistonga sayohat qilayotgan chet ellik sayyohlarning markaziga aylandi. Shahar o'zining oltin kunlarida ko'ngilochar poytaxtga aylandi, u erda shahar bo'ylab yuzlab kinoteatrlar, o'nlab gavjum tungi klublar va ko'plab bar va likyor do'konlari joylashgan. Giyohvand moddalar osonlikcha mavjud bo'lgan va alkogol va qimor o'yinlari qonuniy bo'lgan bo'lsa-da, jinoyatchilik bugungi kunga qaraganda ancha kam edi: jinoyatchilik darajasi juda past edi va qurol bilan jinoyatchilik umuman bo'lmagan. 1960-yillarning oxiriga kelib shaharda turizm sohasi rivojlanib, ko'plab yosh g'arbiy sayohatchilar va shaharga kirib kelayotgan "Hippi" turlarini o'z ichiga olgan xalqaro sayyohlar uchun qaynoq nuqtaga aylandi. Jamoat transporti tizimi nisbatan yaxshi edi. Shahar bo'ylab bir qator shahar tramvay tizimlari, shuningdek, "Karachi dairesel temir yo'li" poezd qatnovi. Karachi-Mumbay feribot xizmati ham ishlagan, Karachi aeroportiga dunyoning ko'plab yirik aviakompaniyalari xizmat ko'rsatgan va shu bilan u dunyodagi eng gavjum aeroportlar qatoriga kirgan. Xulosa qilib aytganda, siyosiy, mazhablararo va etnik zo'ravonliklarda Karachi dunyoning chinakam xalqaro shahri qiyofasini namoyish etdi, ammo vaqt o'tishi bilan shahar qiyofasi tubdan o'zgardi va u bugungi kunning yana bir shahriga aylandi. |
18-asrda keksa sinxiy Balochi baliqchi ayol May Kolachi ushbu oilada oila qurish uchun hozirgi Karachi deb nomlanuvchi hududga joylashdi. O'sha vaqtga qadar bu hudud kichik baliqchilar jamoasi sifatida tashkil topdi va "Kolachi-jo-Goth" ("Kolachi qishlog'i") deb nomlana boshladi. Shahar Arab dengizi orqali Fors ko'rfazi mintaqasi bilan savdo qilishni boshlagach, u ahamiyat kasb etdi va shu tariqa uni himoya qilish uchun ikkita asosiy eshiklari bo'lgan kichik loy qal'asi qurildi: Xaara-dar (Tuzli darvoza) dengiz ostiga qarab, er osti ta'mi sifatida Arab dengizi yaqinidagi suv sho'r edi va odamlar tabiiy ta'mga ega ichimlik suvini topgan Lyari daryosiga qaragan Meetha-dar (Shirin darvoza) edi. Ushbu darvozalarning joylashishi hozirgi Xaara-dar va Meetha-darning hozirgi joylariga mos keladi.
Shahar Buyuk Britaniyaning Ost-Hindiston kompaniyasining e'tiborini tortganida muhim portga aylantirildi, u Sindga bir nechta tadqiqot missiyasini yuborganidan so'ng, 1839 yilda mintaqani zabt etdi va Karachini ham o'z qo'liga oldi. Dastlabki Kompaniya boshqaruvi davrida shahar aholisi atigi 15000 kishidan iborat edi. Keyinchalik 1843 yilda shahar Britaniya Hindistonining bir qismiga aylandi va keyinchalik 1840 yillarning oxirlarida Sind poytaxti bo'ldi. Inglizlar bu shaharning harbiy kanton sifatida muhimligini anglab etishdi va o'z portini tezkorlik bilan rivojlantirdilar va shaharni rivojlantirishga kirishdilar. Katta infratuzilmani rivojlantirish amalga oshirildi, keyinchalik yangi korxonalar ochila boshladi va shahar aholisi tez sur'atlarda o'sishni boshladi. Britaniyalik mustamlakachilar bir qator jamoat sanitariya va transport ishlarini boshladilar va Karachi tezda shaharga aylandi va 1847 yilda ketishi paytida ma'lum bo'lgan Napierning mashhur taklifini ro'yobga chiqardi: sizning ulug'vorligingizda! "
Britaniyalik Raj davrida bu shahar hozirgi Pokistondagi eng yirik shahar markazi bo'lgan va temir yo'l orqali Britaniya Hindistonining qolgan qismi bilan bog'langan. O'sha paytga kelib, Karachi iqtisodiy o'sishni boshdan kechirayotgan edi va 1869 yilda Suvaysh kanalining ochilishi shahar Bombayga (hozirda shunday nomlanadi) qaraganda Evropaga dengiz tashish uchun 200 milya yaqinroq bo'lganligini anglatardi. Mumbay). Shahardagi doimiy o'zgarishlar iqtisodiy muhojirlarning katta oqimini keltirib chiqardi. XIX asr oxiriga kelib shahar aholisi taxminan 105000 kishini tashkil etdi. 1876 yilda shaharda Pokiston asoschisi Muhammad Ali Jinna tug'ilgan.
Britaniyalik Rajning qonli bo'linishi va Pokiston mustaqilligini qo'lga kiritgandan so'ng, shaharda tez o'sish yuz berdi va bu Hindistondan kelgan musulmon muhojirlarning yashash joyiga aylandi. Hindistondan yuz minglab musulmon qochqinlar shaharga qochqin izlashdi va aholisi taxminan 450 mingdan 23,5 milliongacha portlashdi. Karachidagi qochoqlar yashash joyi shaharga shimoliy hind atmosferasini berdi, shuningdek shahar aholisini kengaytirdi va uning demografik holati va iqtisodiyotini o'zgartirdi. 1947 yilda bo'linishdan oldin shaharda 50% hindular bor edi, keyinchalik 1951 yilda 10 yil ichida atigi 2% gacha kamaydi, musulmonlar 1951 yilda 95% dan oshdi, bu sub-qit'aning bo'linishidan oldin faqat 40% edi. .
Karachi 1947-1958 yillarda Pokistonning poytaxti sifatida tanlangan va shaharning trassalarida chiroyli klassik va mustamlakachilik evropa uslubidagi binolar joylashgan gavjum metropolga aylangan. Keyingi bir necha o'n yilliklar ichida u dunyodagi eng tez rivojlanayotgan shaharlardan biri bo'ldi. 1958 yilda poytaxt Karachidan Ravalpindi shahriga ko'chirildi, so'ngra 1960 yilda yangi qurilgan Islomobodga ko'chib o'tdi. Dunyo bo'ylab ko'plab noqonuniy qochqinlar shaharga kelishni davom ettirdilar, bu shahar aholisining o'sishini davom ettirishga majbur qildi. uning xirillagan infratuzilmasi hajmi. 1960-yillarda Pokiston butun dunyoda iqtisodiy namuna sifatida qaraldi va bu Karachining oltin davri edi. Aytishlaricha, ko'plab mamlakatlar Pokistonning iqtisodiy rejalashtirish strategiyasiga taqlid qilishga intilishgan; ulardan biri Janubiy Koreya mamlakatning ikkinchi "Besh yillik rejasi" ni ko'chirib oldi va Seuldagi Jahon moliya markazi Karachidan keyin ishlab chiqilgan va modellashtirilgan.
1980-yillarning oxiri va 1990-yillarning boshlarida shaharda Sovet Ittifoqi urushidan Afg'onistondagi noqonuniy qochqinlar oqimi kuzatildi, bu 2010 yilda 1,6 dan 2 milliongacha bo'lgan odamlarni va boshqa ko'plab mamlakatlarning minglab fuqarolarini tashkil qildi. tegishli hujjatlarisiz Karachida noqonuniy yashab kelmoqdalar. Muhojirlar bilan etnik Sindxilar va Panjobiylar kabi mahalliy guruhlar o'rtasida siyosiy ziddiyatlar va etnik zo'ravonliklar shahar bo'ylab avj oldi va shahar siyosiy zo'ravonlik bilan to'ldirildi. Natijada, Pokiston armiyasi shaharda tinchlikni tiklash uchun safarbar qilindi. 1992 yildan 1994 yilgacha bo'lgan davr shahar tarixidagi eng qonli davr, armiya Mohajir Kaumi harakatiga qarshi "Tozalash" operatsiyasini boshlagan davr sifatida qabul qilinadi.

Karachi nisbatan yumshoq va quruq iqlimga ega - bu iqlimning mo''tadil versiyasi bo'lsa ham - deyarli butun yil davomida shahar qirg'oqda joylashgan. Karachida ikkita asosiy fasl bor; yoz va qish, bahor va kuz esa juda qisqa. Shahar tropik iqlimga ega, yozi iliq va namni qamrab oladi, qishi esa yumshoq va quruq; dengizga yaqinlik namlikni doimiy va yuqori darajadagi salqin dengiz shamollarida ushlab turadi, yoz oylarining issiqligini yumshatadi, ammo yoz mavsumi yil davomida eng uzoq davom etadi. Yozda yuqori harorat tufayli (apreldan oktyabrgacha 30-44 ° C gacha), noyabrdan martgacha davom etadigan qish mavsumi Karachiga tashrif buyurish uchun eng yaxshi vaqt. Yomg'irning ko'p qismi mussonning yomg'irli mavsumida yozda iyuldan avgustgacha bo'ladi, vaqti-vaqti bilan uzluksiz yomg'ir yog'ishi mumkin. Karachida qayd etilgan eng yuqori harorat 47,8 ° S, eng pasti - 0 ° S.
Siyosat
Karachidagi demografik ahamiyatga ega, chunki Karachidagi aksariyat siyosat etnik mansublik ta'sirida va ta'sirida. Karachi an'anaviy ravishda 1970-yillarning oxiriga qadar Jamoat e Islomiyning mustahkam tayanchi bo'lgan. 1980-yillarda MQM nomli yangi siyosiy partiya shahar siyosatida hukmronlik qila boshladi. Dunyoviy siyosiy partiya deb hisoblangan bu tashkilot 1978 yilda shaharga taniqli Karachi universitetida muhojirlar jamoasini himoya qilish va ularni kamsitish va tengsizlik deb biladigan narsalardan himoya qilish uchun etnik asosda tashkil etilgan talabalar tashkiloti sifatida tashkil etilgan. Keyinchalik u tegishli siyosiy partiya sifatida ishlay boshladi.
Shaharda jangarilikka sabab bo'lgan va keng siyosiy zo'ravonlik yaratganlikda ayblanayotgan partiya tanqidchilar tomonidan aksariyat hollarda Pokistonga qarshi va fashistik deb nomlanadi va mamlakatdagi to'rtinchi yirik siyosiy partiya bo'lib qolmoqda, ammo Karachidan eng ko'p o'ringa ega bo'lgan partiya. shaharda hukmron siyosiy kuchdir.
Madaniyat
Muhojirlar kimlar? Muhajir - bu atama arabcha so'zdan kelib chiqqan bo'lib, "migrant" degan ma'noni anglatadi. Ushbu atama Pokistonda 1947 yilda Hindiston va Pokiston xalqlari o'rtasida Britaniya Hindistoni bo'linib ketgan paytda Shimoliy Hindistondan kelib, mamlakatning turli qismlarida, lekin asosan Sind shahrida yashashni tanlagan musulmon muhojirlarni ta'riflash uchun ishlatiladi. ayniqsa Karachi. Hozirgi kunda Karachi aholisining katta qismini muhojirlar tashkil qiladi, undan keyin panjobilar, pathanlar va sindxilar. |
Iqtisodiy markaz bo'lish Pokiston, Karachida butun mamlakat bo'ylab odamlar yashaydi. Hind okeanining chekkasida, shahar, shubhasiz, Pokistonning xilma-xil erishi, eski va yangi, sharq va g'arbning aralashuvi - Pokistonning turli qismlaridan va shuningdek, butun dunyodan kelgan odamlarning to'qnashuvi. Pokistonning qolgan qismidan doimiy ravishda kelayotgan muhojirlar oqimi bilan "karachitlar" deb nomlangan aholi boshqa madaniyatlarga nisbatan ajoyib bag'rikenglikni namoyon etib, uni haqiqiy madaniy erituvchi qozonga aylantirgan va shu sababli Karachining kundalik turmush tarzi boshqa shaharlarnikidan ancha farq qiladi. Pokiston. Karachining madaniyati Yaqin Sharq, Markaziy Osiyo, Janubiy Osiyo va G'arb ta'sirining aralashishi, shuningdek shaharning yirik xalqaro biznes markazi maqomi bilan ajralib turadi. Umuman olganda, madaniyatda juda xilma-xillik mavjud va bu xilma-xillik o'ziga xos madaniy amalni yaratdi. Shahar ko'plab etnolingvistik guruhlardan tashkil topgan kosmopolit aholiga ega va mamlakatning eng yirik o'rta sinf qatlamiga mezbonlik qiladi. Shahar o'zining o'sishini iqtisodiy va siyosiy migrantlarning aralash aholisi bilan bir qatorda shaharga doimiy joylashish uchun kelgan turli milliy, viloyat, til va diniy kelib chiqishi bo'lgan qochqinlar bilan bog'laydi. Pokistondagi boshqa shaharlar bilan taqqoslaganda juda ko'p musulmon bo'lmaganlar Karachida yashaydilar.
Pokistonning aksariyat qismi uchun ishbilarmonlik ruhi va hayotning shiddatliligi keskin farq qiladi. Amerikalik siyosatshunos va Janubiy Osiyo bo'yicha mutaxassis Stiven P. Koen Karachining turli xil demografik holatlaridan hayratda qolganida, agar Karachining etnik guruhlari "yaxshi munosabatda bo'lishsa, bu Nyu-Yorkka o'xshab hayratlanarli darajada murakkab shahar bo'lar edi", deb ta'kidlagan edi. Uni Osiyodagi boshqa yirik shahar bilan taqqoslash mumkin, Mumbay, ular bilan shahar juda ko'p o'xshashliklarga ega, chunki ikkalasi ham o'tmishda Britaniyaning mustamlakasi bo'lgan. Karachi har yili bir milliondan ziyod yangi aholining kirib kelishi bilan ketma-ket ko'chib yurish to'lqinlarida qurilgan, bu dunyodagi eng katta va eng tez rivojlanayotgan shaharlardan birida strech belgilari paydo bo'lishi ajablanarli emas. Mahallalar o'zlarining xususiyatlarini u erda birinchi bo'lib joylashtirilgan jamoalardan olgan. Ushbu mahallalar ro'yxatga olish uchun juda ko'pdir va ularni kengroq tumanlarga birlashtirishning odatda qabul qilingan usuli yo'q. Ammo taxminan, shahar janubdan shimolgacha rivojlandi.
Karachi shuningdek, mamlakatdagi eng katta er osti musiqiy sahnalaridan biri bilan faxrlanadi, bu erda an'anaviy musiqiy ta'sirlar zamonaviy va g'arbiy uslublar bilan birlashib, noyob termoyadroviy musiqa brendini yaratadi. Ushbu musiqa uslubi butun Pokiston bo'ylab juda mashhur bo'lib, xalqning yangi musiqa san'atkorlari tomonidan qo'llaniladi. Karachining rivojlanib borayotgan ko'ngilochar sanoatida ish topish uchun juda yaxshi imkoniyatlar bo'lganligi sababli, xalqning yangi paydo bo'lgan musiqachilari o'zlarini Karachida tashkil etishdi. Aslida Karachi ko'plab taniqli rassomlarni ham yetishtirgan. Xalqning ko'plab yangi musiqiy asarlarini Karachi bo'ylab kafe, restoran va konsertlarda topish mumkin.

Chiqinglar
Samolyotda
- 1 Jinnah xalqaro aeroporti (KHI IATA). Pokistonning eng gavjum va eng katta aeroporti ham xalqaro, ham ichki parvozlarni amalga oshiradi. 1960-1980 yillarda Karachi aeroporti ancha gavjum edi va dunyoning bir qancha yirik aviakompaniyalariga yonilg'i quyish uchun to'xtash joyi bo'lgan. Biroq, Dubay aeroportining paydo bo'lishi, uzoqroq uchadigan samolyotlardan foydalanishning ko'payishi va keyinchalik 1990-yillarda Karachining yomon siyosiy ob-havosi bir nechta aviakompaniyalar o'z xizmatlarini to'xtatib qo'ydi. Bu markaz Pokiston xalqaro aviakompaniyalari, Pokistonning ko'plab xalqaro yo'nalishlarga parvoz qiluvchi milliy aviakompaniyasi va Pokistonning barcha yirik shaharlari. Aeroport ham markazdir Havo moviy va Shaheen Air, Pokistonning yana ikkita xususiy aviakompaniyasi, ularning ikkalasi ham ichki va xalqaro yo'nalishlarda parvoz qiladi.
Asosiy terminal ikkita konkursga bo'lingan - xalqaro parvozlar uchun ishlatiladigan Sharqiy yo'ldosh konkursi va ichki reyslar uchun G'arbiy sun'iy yo'ldosh konkursi, ularning har biri yo'lovchilarni yuklash ko'prigi bilan ta'minlangan bo'lib, u aeroportning terminal eshigidan samolyotgacha yo'lovchilarga ruxsat beradi. tashqariga chiqmasdan yoki marshrutlar orqali uzatmasdan bortga tushing. Ikkita sun'iy yo'ldosh konkurslari, shuningdek, terminal binosining chiqish zallarini to'ldiradi. Terminalning pastki darajasi kelayotgan yo'lovchilar uchun mo'ljallangan, bu erda taksilar uchun ajratilgan yo'l va ulkan McDonald yo'lovchilar kelishi uchun terminal binosining chiqish qismida joylashgan, terminalning yuqori darajasi esa yo'lovchilar uchun mo'ljallangan.
Aeroportni jo'nab ketish zallari ichida McDonald's va Butlers Chocolate Cafe kabi oziq-ovqat kioskalari mavjud. Shuningdek, bir qator Bank kioskalari, bankomatlar, Money Exchange hisoblagichlari, bepul Internet kiosklari, masjidlar, kofe do'konlari va ko'plab sovg'alar, tibbiy do'kon, maishiy xizmat ko'rsatish shoxobchalari, shirin do'konlar, ko'chma quvvat olish punktlari va gazak peshtaxtalari mavjud. Xalqaro jo'nab ketish joyida gilamchalar, gilamchalar, sport mollari, tibbiyot buyumlari, oniks, toshlar va boshqalarni arzon narxlarda sotadigan katta bojsiz do'kon mavjud. Bagajni saqlamoqchi bo'lganlar uchun terminalda chap yuki imkoniyatlari ham mavjud. Ichki parvoz yo'lovchilari uchun bepul aravachalar va yuk tashish xizmatlari 100 rupiya, xalqaro parvozlar yo'lovchilari uchun 200 rupiya. Nogironlar uchun yordam aviakompaniyaning jo'nashidan oldin so'rovi bo'yicha amalga oshiriladi. Nogironlar uchun nogironlar kolyaskalari va nogironlar kolyaskalari bo'yicha yordamni terminalning kelish va chiqish joylaridagi stollardan topish mumkin. Aeroportning CIP Lounge-dan barcha birinchi / biznes toifadagi yo'lovchilar va kredit karta egalari, shu jumladan barcha chiqish reyslarida mehmonlari bepul foydalanishlari mumkin, Barclays va UBLda esa kredit karta mijozlari uchun alohida dam olish joylari mavjud.

Bosh terminal binosi tashqarisida McDonalds restorani ham mavjud.
Karachi aeroportida immigratsiya protseduralari ko'pincha uzoq davom etadi. Odatda har doim Pokistonning pasport peshtaxtalarida, odatda erta tongda bo'lgan pik soatlarda va uzoq vaqt (30 daqiqadan ko'proq) vaqt talab etilishi mumkin bo'lgan uzoq yo'llar bilan gavjum. Immigratsiya zalida chet ellik sayohatchilar uchun alohida navbatlar bo'lishi kerak; bolali yo'lovchilar va qarovsiz bolalar; biznes sayohatlari. Ammo, odatda, immigratsiya jarayonini tezlashtirish uchun qoidalar beparvo qilinadi va bu chiziqlar hamma tomonidan bemalol egallab olinadi - bu charchagan tajriba.
Bagaj karuseliga etib borganingizda, bepul aravachalarni, shuningdek sizning yukingizni olib yurish uchun kurashayotgan ko'plab yuk ko'taruvchilarni topasiz. Shunga qaramay, uchini jalb qilishdan oldin hal qilish yaxshidir. Odatda 100 rupiya ularning ko'pchiligini qondiradi. Agar jo'nayotgan bo'lsangiz, xavfsizlik tufayli uzoq kechikishlarga tayyor bo'ling. Agar siz ichki - xalqaro yoki ichki yo'nalishgacha boradigan bo'lsangiz, sizni aeroport binosi tashqarisiga olib chiqishadi va siz xalqaro yoki ichki uchish orqali qayta kirasiz.

Atrofga boring
Karachida sayohat qilsangiz, bu juda qiziqarli voqea bo'ladi. Siz yangi odamlar bilan tanishasiz va kutilmagan narsalarni ko'rasiz. Transport usulini topish juda qiyin emas va agar nima qilayotganingizni bilsangiz, aylanib o'tish juda oson. Karachini aylanib o'tish dunyoning boshqa mega shaharlari bilan taqqoslaganda qiyin emas va transport juda qimmat emas va qimmatli vaqtingizni va pulingizni tejash uchun faqat tegishli ko'rsatmalarga amal qilishingiz kerak. Karachining aksariyat aholisi o'zlarining ish joylariga boradigan va kelayotgan jamoat transportlariga ishonishadi va shaharda kamida bir marta taksida va avtoulovlarda yurishadi. Agar siz Pokiston yo'llariga odatlanmagan bo'lsangiz, avtoulov bilan yurish yurakni to'xtatuvchi, o'limga qarshi, fizika qonunlariga ta'sir qilishi mumkin. O'zini Shumaxer deb o'ylaydigan haydovchi bilan 30 km / s dan ortiq tezlikda qulab tushishi mumkin bo'lgan transport vositasida haqiqiy sarguzashtlarni his eting.
Shahar ichkarisida avj olish paytlarida sayohat qilish (08: 00-10: 00 va 17: 30-19: 00) ko'p vaqtni oladi, tez-tez yo'l to'siqlari va tirbandliklar mavjud, ammo baribir yon yo'llar va chorrahalar mavjud bo'lib, ular uchun foydali bo'lishi mumkin transport bloklarini oldini olish.
Piyoda
Karachining aksariyat qismi piyodalarga dushman bo'lib, shaharda kamdan-kam uchraydigan piyodalar o'tish joylari mavjud va yo'l belgilari ham yaxshi emas. Ammo, agar siz haqiqatan ham aylanib o'tishni xohlasangiz, doimo piyoda yo'lda yoki agar u mavjud bo'lmasa, iloji boricha yo'lning chetiga va qarama-qarshi tirbandlikka qarama-qarshi tomonga qarab yurishingizni ta'minlang. Karachi katta va masofalar uzoq bo'lib, ular diqqatga sazovor joylarni butun shaharga tarqatib yuboradi, lekin ba'zida mahallalarda yurish, aslida A nuqtadan B nuqtaga, ayniqsa shaharning zich joylashgan shahar markazlarida borishning eng tezkor usuli bo'lishi mumkin. Saddar kabi shahar va piyoda yurish uchun shaharning qadimgi qismlarining tor ko'chalari aslida sayohat qilishning eng yaxshi usuli hisoblanadi. 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.
Riksha tomonidan
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.
Avtobusda
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.
Taksida
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[o'lik havola], 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 va 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.
Mashinada
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.
Poyezdda
Qismi 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.
Qarang
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.

Yaxshi narx olish uchun iloji bo'lsa, mahalliy odam bilan borishga harakat qiling.

Qonuniylik chegarasida mavjud bo'lib, butun ko'chalar ushbu sotuvchilarga berilgan va ko'p joylarda piyodalar yurish mumkin emas, chunki ular yo'lni to'sib qo'yishgan.

Hayit bayrami davrida xaridlar eng yuqori cho'qqiga etadi, chunki shaharga nafaqat tashkil etilgan korxonalar, balki butun sotuvchilar o'z mollarini shaharning ko'p sonli aholisiga sotish uchun kelishadi, ularning aksariyati o'rta sinf va ko'pchilik bilan taqqoslaganda mamlakatning boshqa qismlari.

Sharob do'konlarining belgilari odatda ko'k va qizil rangli chiziqlar bilan belgilanadi (bu ularning qonuniylashtirilganligini bildiradi), ichish uchun joy yo'q, asosan Murree pivo zavodi kabi mahalliy ishlab chiqariladigan brend sotiladi va odatda juma kunlari yopiq bo'ladi. Vaholanki, Karachida vino do'konlari soni eng ko'p, ammo baribir uni topish yangi kelganga qiynalishi mumkin, chunki taksilar va riksha haydovchilarining aksariyati do'konning qaerdaligini bilishni rad etishadi, chunki spirtli ichimliklar jamiyatda taqiqlangan narsa.

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.

Jinoyat
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.
Yo'l harakati
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 kerak 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.

The mintaqa kodi 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.
