Foreign tourists in Pakistan

[Neurath]

The reason Karachi had so many foreign tourists in the 60s and 70s and why so many of them have their pictures here in this thread is that it served as a major transportation hub between the East and West. We have only declined in all these years. Today Dubai has that role, and to be frank to them, they seized their opportunity and played the game like any other country would've. Sad to see the state of Karachi today.
