Pick up a book or a sweet snack at Petiwala Books International. It is a 14-minute walk from the anchor and open until 18:30, so you have plenty of time before the sun dips.
17:44
Karachi Municipal Corporation Building
Walk to the Karachi Municipal Corporation Building. The Anglo-Mughal sandstone facade catches the warm, low-angle light just before sunset. Stand back and admire the clock tower as the shadows lengthen.
18:19
Head to Cinnamon Lounge for a coffee or dessert. It is a casual cafe in a grand hotel, open 24/7, offering a perfect place to relax after the walk.
18:49
End your evening at Fujiyama. Take the elevator to the top floor of the Avari Towers for 360-degree panoramic views of Karachi as the city lights begin to twinkle.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the WSW on this date, so the best light on the Municipal Building is from the side. Check the route to Fujiyama as it is in a separate tower.
