Karachi is called the city of lights. And not just called, it really is and it shows. When flying over the city, you will always see lights. It never sleeps. Roads are always bustling with traffic, all the parks and malls and recreational places are always full. You never get bored. There is always someplace to go, something to do.

It’s a haphazard and sprawling city (one of the largest in the world), with twisting roads and streets making it very confusing. People new to the city may get easily lost in the numerous bazaars, apartment complexes and residential areas. In fact, Karachi is so confusing there are times when even online maps are inaccurate.

Karachi is an extremely hot city. The temperature rises to 45 degree Celsius in summer. It is not a safe city. One have to be very careful while using their cell phones or other expensive gadgets on the streets to avoid getting robbed. Driving in this city is an art. Traffic is way worse than other cities. People here rarely follow traffic rules and love to take wrong routes to save time. That being said there are many positives as well. You can order at any time of the day. There are many restaurants that are open 24/7. There are a lot of shopping malls and different restaurant offering different cuisines. It is very cheap. People with less money can also survive here. Even after the major drawbacks I think this city has much more to offer and people should at least visit once in their lifetime to experience the beautiful culture, amazing food and the hospitality of the natives.

Know about the life people live over here, market rates, transport system and know about his/her job. He/her should also find out how the quality of food/water is over here. One thing that I wanna suggest is that the environment is not that clean over her as it is in the villages of Pakistan.

Karachi is the most economical city the present time. However, one must be aware of certain elements that can make living costs moderate and par the standards. Firstly, there is no metro or subway transportation systems so their alternatives i.e., Private vans must be known by the person. Secondly, the grocery markets must be in one’s knowledge so that quality food and toiletries can be purchased as minimum cost. one must find the suitable area to live whose proximity suits one’s nature. For example If one loves peace and serenity so living area should be particularly seaside and residential colonies.
