- Frere Hall - This colonial-era building in Karachi, dating back to 1865, was erected in honor of Sir Henry Bartle Edward Frere, a British national recognized for advancing economic development in Sindh. It houses the Sadequain Gallery, dedicated to Pakistan’s most celebrated artist. In 1986, Sadequain began his masterpiece on the ceilings of Frere Hall, but he passed away before completing the grand painting, which remains unfinished as a tribute to the artist.

Karachi city tour with Fahd - I did a city tour with Fahd and really enjoyed it. He’s a great guy to hang out with and talk to. He’s well versed on the history of Karachi and Pakistan and I had a nice time learning and talking about history and current events.
He took me around in his car, which was comfortable with AC, and we were able to hop out at different points and see something or walk a bit. We covered a lot of ground in about 6 hours and I felt like it was a great overview of the city. He’s flexible to switch up the itinerary if you have certain things you want to make sure you see. All of the other tours on this trip have brought me places that pressured me to buy stuff and this one didn’t, which was extremely nice. It was all about the sites of Karachi and learning more than I started with.
Thanks Fahd! I recommend this tour for sure.

This tour is a must for Karachi - Karachi feels like such a chaotic and overwhelming city so having a good guide makes all the difference. I can’t recommend Fahd more: you’ll visit the best known sites and with his knowledge, learn so much about how they fit into the fabric of the city. You’ll also get to see the lesser known parts, giving you a look at Karachi that few outsiders get to take.

Travel Experience: From Canada to Karachi via Transit - I recently traveled in Jan 2024 to March 2024 from Canada to Karachi via transit in Seattle, USA, with WestJet, and then Qatar Airways to my final destination. Unfortunately, my experience through Seattle airport was quite unpleasant. The process of taking out all luggage during transit and then boarding again, followed by immigration questioning, was quite tedious. I had to wait in long queues with poor customer service. I have seen other families with kids also suffering. However, I finally reached Karachi via Qatar Airways.
Karachi airport provided a much better experience in terms of customer service and ease of transit. I spent almost two months in Pakistan, feeling safe and secure throughout my stay. I always carried my iPhone Pro 14 with me. I had a fantastic time with my family, enjoying the superb cloudy /sunny weather. Although there were a few days of warm rain, it was manageable. I mostly stayed in DHA, a luxurious area near classic restaurants and world-class malls.
Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend transiting through the USA due to the challenging experience I encountered

Amazing Experience - I want to recommend Fahd and his venture. He is knowledgeable, open and sharing, is sensitive to your interests and does what he can to accommodate. He works magic and was able to get me into see things I probably would not have been able to see under other circumstances - for that, I am extremely grateful. His English is outstanding and he has wisdom and insight that makes time with him worthy of your dollars or Euros or Pounds or whatever currency you are using. Big thumbs up.

Rocket Tourism - Best in Pakistan! - We were so fortunate to find Fahd and his company on this site. We booked the Karachi City Tour.
Fahd picked us up from our hotel and gave us the best city tour we did anywhere else in Pakistan. His professionalism and genuine love for his job shine through. Fahd is a passionate advocate for Karachi and his pride and love for the city are infectious.
I later contacted Fahd to arrange a few day trips while we were in Islamabad. He put us in touch with a great driver who took good care of us.
My only regret is that I didn't find Fahd earlier so he could have arranged our entire Pakistan trip. We dealt with a few other tour operators while we were in Pakistan, and Fahd beat them all hands down.
I will be recommending rocket Tourism to anyone I know who wants to travel to Pakistan.
