Once the capital of Bhambo Raja in the 10th century, this fascinating city was a major crossroad on the ancient trade route to China and the Middle East. Unfortunately, it was destroyed around 1250 CE and is now known only through the poetry of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. If you’re interested in history and folklore, visit Sassui’s grave at ‘Sassui waro chodo,’ only 14 miles from Karachi on the road leading to Kech Makran.
The ruins of Bhambore and Bhambore Museum are located in the district of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. The city was founded by the Sumerians in the late 4th millennium BC and was later ruled by the Achaemenid Empire, Alexander’s successors, and the Parthian Empire.
