For over two centuries, the Manora Lighthouse has stood as a vital maritime beacon off the coast of Karachi.

Built in the 18th century, it continues to guide vessels with a light intensity equivalent to 14 million candles, visible up to 48 kilometers away. More than a navigational aid, the lighthouse is a preserved relic of the region’s colonial maritime history, a testament to endurance, function, and legacy.

Reporting from the edge of the Arabian Sea, Nukta’s Shayan Saleem tells us the story of Manora Lighthouse, and takes us inside for a rare tour of Pakistan’s oldest coastal landmarks.
