Merewether Memorial TowerThe Merewether Memorial Tower is one of themost elegant and intricately designed coloniallandmarks of Karachi.

Constructed at the intersection of M.A. JinnahRoad (formerly Bunder Road) and I.I. ChundrigarRoad (formerly McLeod Road) in 1886, theTower was designed by James Strachan, theMunicipal Commissioner at the time.

He was also responsible for many other beautifulstructures built in Karachi, including EmpressMarket, the Sindh Madressah and D.J. ScienceCollege.

The Tower was built in memory of Sir WilliamLockyer Merewether, Commissioner of Sindh(1867-1877)

General Information

Accommodation(standard room rates) “One day she will be the Queen of the

East”, said Charles Napier a hundred yearsago about Karachi. It was then, only asmall village. Until 1725 A.D., Karachi wasjust a barren piece of land, where a fewfishermen lived in small huts on the sunnycreek. There was a pool of water known asKalachi-jo-Kun. ‘Kalachi’ was the name offisherman whereas ‘Kun’ meant a deepditch. Therefore, “Kalachi-jo-Kun” meant thedeep ditch of Kalachi, the fisherman.

Today, visitors can explore themonuments and landmarks that are alegacy of the British Raj - -the Pavilion atOld Clifton, the Gothic-styled Frere Halland the red-brick Mohatta Palace.

Indeed Karachi presents an amazingcombination of old and new, traditionaland contemporary and has something tooffer everyone - local bazaar that are abargain hunter’s delight to modernshopping malls, restaurants and artgalleries and of course, the beaches.

A trip to Karachi is never complete withouta relaxing day at one of the beautifulbeaches. Visitors can also enjoy crabbing,deep-sea fishing and yachting in theArabian Sea and hence make their visit toKarachi truly memorable.

Karachi also boast of some excellent lushgreen 18-hole golf courses where visitorscan enjoy the sport all year round.
