Connections for Port of Banbhore

Banbhore is the ruined town of the medieval port of Daibul on the north bank of Gharo Creek, about 65 kilometres east of Karachi. The city was inhabited from the 1st century BCE to the 13th century CE and the remains date from the Parthian, Hindu-Buddhist and early Islamic periods. The port was abandoned when the Indus River shifted its position and the creek silted. The archaeological site includes a citadel, the remains of an early stone-built mosque and the region’s best preserved mediaeval port.
