Late afternoon light turns the Arabian Sea silver off Clifton Beach, and camels plod along the wet sand under a pink sky. Inland, the white marble of Mazar-e-Quaid catches the last sun, and the yellow stone of Saddar's colonial halls warms to honey before the street lamps take over.
Beyond that, Burns Road keeps its nihari pots simmering, Empress Market sells everything from spices to pet birds, and Port Grand fills an old harbor bridge with food stalls. Winters are dry and mild, while summers run long, hot and humid, eased by sea breezes and monsoon rain. A Local Friend knows which sights to catch early before the heat and where to linger after dark, when the city lights up.
