What was intended to be a boat trip ended up as horse and camel rides on Clifton Beach.
What was intended to be a boat trip ended up as horse and camel rides on Clifton Beach.
The beach is in an area called Clifton, hence Clifton beach. Its the most public and easily accessible beach at the edge of the city. The best beaches are quite far away and you need to hire a beach hut for the day to escape from the sun.
We park up next to the beach front Macdonalds! A surprising hit in Pakistan as it offers a clean, family friendly environment for middle class pakistanis!
What hits you first as you step out of your air tight climate controlled car is the stench. That delicate aroma of human, of industry, of decay. The beach front villas are whithering away in the salt sea air, begging for a lick of paint or a bit of maintenance.
The oil slick about 8 years ago devastated the beach front residences and many people abandoned Karachi and moved up north.
But we still found Uuntwallas (Camel) and Gorawallas (Horse), beckoning us before we had barely stepped out of the car!
A treat for all the girls as I am sure none of them have been on a horse or a camel.
I let Nadir do the bargaining and he agrees on Rs300 a ride - a little less than £2 a go.
