If you have seen this before, can we please request that you hold your answers for now. If you have never seen this picture before, can you guess what major Pakistani city this is?
See correct answer here. See more details on the photograph and on answer here.
Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
Karachi of course!
i dont think its Karachi. For some odd reason, i feel that there is no place in Karachi where at any given time a spectacle so big would appear. It would appear, im not denying that, but with a different shape. kindly email me rehan.usmani@hotmail.com once anyone gets the right answer!
My second guess is Quetta.
Beautiful picture. I recall scenes like this when arriving at night or in the early hours in Pakistan via an airplane.
My guess is Karachi. Picture does not look like Islamabad.
I don’t think it is Islamabad… the lights don’t seem aligned in a perfect grid. Also, from the picture it seems the cit is surrounded on more than one side by mountains. My guess is Abbotabad. Or is it called something else now?
