The seaport of Karachi, located on the Arabian Sea coast in southern Pakistan, handles most of the country’s international trade. A bustling center of commerce, Karachi is the largest city of Pakistan.
The coastline of Pakistan extends more than 1,000 km (600 mi) along the Arabian Sea and forms most of the country’s southern boundary. The coast remains undeveloped beyond the port of Karachi, with only a scattering of small fishing villages.
