How safe is Karachi?

Karachi is not safe alone for girls, but if you have a person or in a group, it’s fairly safe. I would recommend travelling in groups of friends, and enjoy DHA and other nearby places. And would love to advise on where to visit.

You have to know the hacks, know to blend into locals in order to be safe - unfortunate but true. Ensure safety of valuables by carrying minimal stuff when roaming around. Best to travel in a group, especially for women.

About Me

A 28-year-old avid reader and writer with a passion for art and painting, I find inspiration in architecture, cinema, and culture. My love for food and cuisine pairs with a curiosity for history and languages, while my creative side thrives through writing and exploring fashion. Though I haven’t traveled yet, I dream of sightseeing adventures and planned trips to immerse myself in global traditions. When not lost in books or experimenting with new recipes, I enjoy diving into music, movies, and the quiet joy of a blank canvas.

About Me

Hi y'all. This is waniya this side. I have joined this community as a travel begginer. I haven't been to a lot of places, just Saudia Arabia twice, but I had stayovers at Bahrain and Qatar airports and hotels for a day or so. However, I have a lot of places on my travel list, that I hope on travelling to in the coming years. I hope I can make friends and contacts with loads of girlies here, and try hosting them as well as becoming their guests.
