Anyone moving to my city must know that it is a metropolitan city. The people are very hospitable but there’s a lot to worry about the increasing traffic and fresh water availability issues. Also one should also look for your food preferences. However, there’s plenty of options available but still somebody who’s new to the city may find a little difficulty in adjusting to our high spiced food and busy roads!

HELPFUL REPORT

People are usually hospitable here. It’s a metropolitan city and different communities live in harmony and peace. However, traffic jams are very common due to poor infrastructure of the city. Also, street crimes occur every once in a while but generally it’s a peaceful city. Some people call it Newyork of Pakistan.

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.

HELPFUL REPORT

The first thing that a person moving to Karachi should keep in mind is that traffic here is unbearable. You get stuck in traffic for hours sometimes, so it takes a lot of time to reach your destination. If you’re visiting Karachi, don’t forget to enjoy food from local stalls. There are so many stalls in different locations of Karachi that offer a wide variety of snacks and they are extremely delicious and try-worthy.

They need to follow traffic rules and being a good citizen who takes care of society and makes it clean and people coming from a crowded place they feel quite boring because there are not many social relationships with each other. people coming here have to bear it.

Karachi is the Sindh province capital of Pakistan. It is Pakistan’s most populous city and the world’s third-largest city. Classified as a global beta city, it is the largest industrial and financial center of Pakistan. It is a city of night, it offers its unique tourist attractions. Traffic is total chaos.

HELPFUL REPORT

Observing traffic, you will be in constant rush. There is a stampede of people and various vehicles; it certainly leads to air and noise pollution. However, they are affirmative aspects so no need to worry. You can enjoy food streets and the food is utterly scrumptious. Apart of materialistic things, people are extremely welcoming.

HELPFUL REPORT

It is the most populated and largest metropole city of my country. It is a business hub and people from all communities have settled here mainly for employment purpose. It is a coastal city with a hot and humid climate. The drawback is non-development of adequate public transportation so mode of transport is mostly by personal cars and motorbikes which makes traffic jams very frequent.

HELPFUL REPORT

Anyone moving here should know this is a very compact city and it has a lot of pollution and traffic problems, people are mean and selfish, but there are many good places here, many good people and a lot of fun things to and many tasty things to eat, despite the bad in it, it is worth living here.

HELPFUL REPORT

There is a lot of traffic and smog in Karachi, so be prepared to be late for any outings! The street food here is delicious and very cheap. The people here are extremely friendly. A trip to French beach is a must! It may be a two hour drive but it’s worth it.

It is a congested, overpopulated, sprawling metropolis but you have sunrises and sunsets on the beach to make up for it. Uptown Karachi is fancy and elite. There are shiny new malls, swanky clubs and cutesy coffee shops. Downtown Karachi is homely and familiar. There are snaking streets through overfilled, teeming houses dotted with tiny shops lit by single light bulbs selling any imaginable thing you may think of. Arguably it is one of the liveliest city of Pakistan where people from all corners of the country rush to, to make both their livings and their lives.

HELPFUL REPORT

Karachi is called the City of Lights. It’s very vibrant day and night. There are lots of activities, restaurants to eat at and malls. Beach is easily accessible. However, people are too jaded, empathy is at all time low and traffic is terrible. The usual woes of living in an overly crowded metropolitan city.

The climate here is moderate. There is so much of air pollution and traffic on roads. It has five districts. It has many large and small shopping areas. The city has a modern international airport. It has two important regional seaports. It is the most cosmopolitan city. It is a good place.

HELPFUL REPORT

When moving here, the future inhabitant should know that the crime rates are high, the heat and humidity is intolerable and traffic jams are horrible. Yet what makes this city livable and likeable are the welcoming people and the lively environment. It’s almost as if the city never sleeps.

Karachi is one of the largest cities in Asia. It is both a metropolitan and industrial hub. However, due to its size, anybody moving here should be prepared for the distances and traffic involved in trying to get from one place to another.

HELPFUL REPORT

The main concern of someone moving to Karachi should be the heat. The sun is out is 365 days. Also, there is a shortage of water in some areas so the person should be careful in selecting their area. Also, most people in Karachi do not follow traffic rules.

Commuting in Karachi is very difficult. There are only few public transports. Airlift and swvl is available but you have to book a seat at least two hours before travelling. if you own a car, leave early, as you will encounter a lot of traffic. you don’t have to worry about food, restaurants are available at every corner and most of the restaurants has delivery service.

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.

HELPFUL REPORT

For someone visiting Karachi, they must keep in mind that the streets are extremely busy and traffic jams are consistent. you’ll experience extremely hot weather while staying at Karachi since it has long summers and short winters mostly. In addition to this, tourist spots and landmarks are a beautiful and gratifying sight for the people who are visiting Karachi.

Karachi is the city of lights. Coming from different cultures and religions there is a multitude of people here who share mutual respect for everyone and everything. Traffic can be a bit distressing especially on Saturdays, so it’s always better to carry a water bottle when leaving the house. A ride to the seaside is the perfect stress reliever when you’re feeling down. new mushroom hotels always leave you with a new plan for an outing.

It is important to understand how traffic works in Karachi, especially if they are going to be driving. There are clear traffic rules and while it may seem that nobody really follows them, my advice would be to strictly adhere to traffic rules for the sake of your own safety, and not get influenced by the rash driving of others on the road.
