Pakistan
It is a shop on one of the busiest streets of Karachi, Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road. It has served customers since 1973-74 season. It sells lights, bulbs, fans, switches, and other electrical appliances. I recommend it because the rates here are competitive. And most of the times you can get what you are looking for. I have seen many foreigners visit this shop. Most of them happened to be Russians. Today, however, the foreigner numbers have dwindled due to law and order menace. But the shop continues to prosper.
Address: Noor Electric Co. Opposite KMC head office, Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road, Karachi. Ph: 2627451
I recommend it because Karachi has lots of places from where you can get the local handicrafts. Unfortunately, most of them just fleece people. Saddar is one place where you can get a good thing at a reasonable price. Please note that Saddar bazar is a collective term that I have used to indicate an entire place in Karachi. There you will find lots of leather bags, bangles and other things. Look for marble items there as well.
Corporate market and Zainab market.
