Facts and practical information

Manora or Manoro is a small peninsula that forms a protective barrier between Karachi Harbour to the north and the Arabian Sea to the south. Manora was formerly an island, but due to silting is now connected to the mainland by a 12 kilometer long natural sandbridge known as Sandspit. The entrance to Karachi was once guarded against pirate raids by the Manora Fort built in the 1790s, which was later upgraded by the British, and then the Pakistan Navy. ()
