These amazing shots are from History of PIA. They're mainly focused on airplanes but they have goodies like this too:

It was Pakistan's tallest building from 1963 until 2003. The bank remained the tallest building for 4 decades until 116 meters tall Muslim Commercial Bank (MCB) Tower was completed in 2005. However, even after the MCB Tower, the Habib Bank Plaza is the second highest building in Karachi today. MCB Tower, is the principal office of MCB Bank Ltd., is also the 2nd tallest building in South Asia exceeded by Shreepati Arcade in Mumbai, India which is 153 meter tall - Source: Wikipedia - Habib Bank Plaza


Habib Bank Plaza.


Karachi's financial district, Ibrahim Ismail Chundrigar Road (I. I. Chundrigar Road). Easily visible are the Habib Bank Plaza and the MCB Tower.


Habib Bank Plaza.


Karachi Port's West Wharf, as Aroosh's aircraft makes an approach to runway 07 to save time/fuel. The construction of the Karachi Port wharves started in 1882, and by 1914 the East Wharf and the Napier Mole Boat Wharf were complete while 1927 and 1944, the West Wharf, the lighterage berths and the ship-repair berths were constructed between 1927 and 1944.

Bonus photos:


Pasni from 14000' enroute to Gwadar. Pasni is a medium-sized town and a fishing port in Gwadar, Balochistan, Pakistan.


Thank you Aroosh for sharing excellent photos!
