I wouldn't believe a word in siduk's post.
Just 'YouTube' Karachi/Pakistan violence, etc. It's a toilet and always will be. Same goes for the rest of Pakistan.
People are intolerant; violence/robberies/murder/rape is rampant.
Disease is everywhere. Go the bathroom on the 7th floor restaurant at Karachi airport and you would figure that the concept of hygiene does not exist in Pakistan. You’d have expected clean toilets at their international gateways at least. Once you get the combination of diarrhea and flue, you’re done for at least two weeks. And, you WILL get that.
I had my pocket picked inside the secure area of Karachi Airport Jinnah Terminal. Police is actively involved in crime. You can’t do anything there without bribery.
Before anyone shoots me down, this is a judgment from someone who has spent a fair amount of time there.
Stay away!
If you do go, please be safe and get all the information from your Embassy!
