  2. Bohri Bazaar

    Shopping and browsing one of Karachi's two main bazaars (the other being Zainab Market) can be a pleasant evening activity, although closing times vary and it's ill-advised to stroll through unpopulated areas alone after dark. Around Bohri Bazaar, metalware and carved onyx are especially good value. Handicrafts and embroidery are also sold.

  3. Capri Cinema

    Because of the utter absence of bars in Karachi and the need to obtain a permit from the excise department to purchase alcohol, you may be struggling for entertainment after dark. A movie is one option; check newspapers for session details. The Capri often shows English-language films, and a few other cinemas are also scattered along the same stretch.

  5. Salt n Pepper Village

    Karachi has become quite well known for its high-end restaurants and this is a good choice for evening entertainment, as it always has live Pakistani music. Superbly situated by the sea, it's popular, so it can sometimes be hard to get a table, especially on weekends. The food receives glowing reports, the interior is smart and the ocean views are sublime.
