Getting There<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It is a small peninsula (2.5 km\u00b2) located just south of the Port of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. Manora is connected to the mainland by a 12 kilometer long causeway called the Sandspit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The main reason to come to Manora Island is to enjoy the sea breezes on the ferry trip out here. Boats in the harbor will also run longer trips for the right fee, but note that photography is forbidden in the harbor area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

History<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The area of Karachi was known to the ancient Greeks. Nearchus, who commanded Alexander the Great’s naval fleet, mentioned a hilly island by the name of Morontobara and an adjacent flat island named Bibakta, which colonial historians identified as Karachi’s Manora Point and Kiamari (or Clifton), respectively, based on Greek descriptions. Both areas were island until well into the colonial era, when silting in led to them being connected to the mainland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the British historian\u00a0Eliot, parts of city of\u00a0Karachi\u00a0and the island of Manora at\u00a0port of Karachi\u00a0constituted the city of\u00a0Debal. Manora was mentioned by the\u00a0Ottoman\u00a0admiral,\u00a0Seydi Ali Reis, in his 1554 book\u00a0Mir’\u00e2t \u00fcl Mem\u00e2lik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
