The second largest province of Pakistan in terms of population, Sindh possesses a rich culture and heritage. This can be depicted by the different stories that Sindh tells of various civilizations, that the region has been home to, through different monuments and other facets of cultural.
Be it the invasion of Sindh by Muhammad bin Qasim that lead to the start of Islam in the Indian subcontinent or the settlement of the inhabitants of the famous Indus Valley Civilization, Sindh has been a first-hand witness of all of it. This is because the region serves as a reminder, through various monuments and other facets of life, of how different civilizations have made Sindh a center of rich culture and heritage.
Despite the rich history that the province of Sindh possesses, it still attracts a small number of tourists. The region, like other parts of the country, is home to both natural and manmade beauty, thereby it provides a beautiful amalgamation of what nature and humanity can bring about.
