Voice of Travelers to Karachi

Art visit to Karachi

I am Yousef from Egypt, I am fan of arts and antiquated history. I travel around the world to read and understand history and arts of different cultures. Last winter, I visited the National Museum of Pakistan and Pakistan Maritime Museum in Karachi. This was the first time to travel to Pakistan and I was excited by the prospect of interacting with a new culture in Karachi. I had planned for this trip from early as this year and since I needed both ticket and visa to attend the event. To receive a visa to Karachi, one needs a valid passport, travel ticket and accommodation ticket. I bought both the air ticket and accommodation ticket to Karachi online at a 10% off. Air Arabia offered 8% off any ticket bought. This was the first time to travel using Air Arabia and the experience was marvelous. With inflight entertainment and friendly attendants, I am confident that all who traveled using Air Arabia found the travel experience to Thessaloniki satisfying.

Back to Karachi after school.

I am Faiza, a student at King Edward Medical University, Lahore. Last month, I visited my parents in Karachi and overall, the travel experience was fantastic. I didn't have enough money thus I bought my ticket online weeks prior to my departure after a referral from a friend on where to get cheap tickets. The cheapest ticket to Karachi was by Serebe Airlines compared to tickets by other airlines. Shaheen ticket was more expensive than the other airlines. With a travel ticket as a student, the airline allowed free check-in for the first and second bags. The airline has incredible services, actually I am planning to buy a ticket for my younger sibling to visit me in Lahore.
