Getting Around
Careem and InDrive are safest and cheapest. Rickshaws for short hops. Avoid unmarked taxis at night.
Best Season
Nov-Feb is ideal. Summers are brutal (40C+). Monsoon (Jul-Aug) brings relief but flooding in low-lying areas.
Safety
DHA, Clifton, and PECHS are very safe tourist zones. Stay aware at night in Saddar and avoid unlit streets.
Currency
JazzCash and Easypaisa accepted widely. ATMs plentiful in DHA and Clifton. Cash essential for street food.
Food Culture
Karachi has Pakistan's most diverse food scene - try bun kebab for breakfast, biryani for lunch, BBQ at night.
