restaurants cater to a wide choice of Pakistani
and western cuisine. Its markets and bazaars offer
an endless variety of exciting shopping including

Karachi's recorded history goes back to the 18th
century when it was a small fishing village known
as Kalachi-jo-Goth. With the development of its
harbor, it gradually grew into a large city and an
important center of trade and industry. Its
selection as the capital of Pakistan in 1947 added
to its importance and accelerated its rate of
growth and development. Though the seat of
Government shifted to Islamabad, Karachi still
remains the center of commerce and industry.
