Directions: University of Karachi is located on the main University Road (the road was given this name because of location of campus of University of Karachi) in a custom-built campus on a piece of land spanning more than 1000 acres. Many other institutions of higher learning, e. g., the NED University of Engineering and Technology, the Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology, National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA), Institute of Industrial and Electronics Engineering (IIEE), affiliated with the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and the Usman Institute of Technology (UIT), affiliated with Hamdard University are, also, located on the University Road. It is at a convenient driving distance from the Quaid-é-Azam International Airport and the Civic Center (seat of the Karachi City Government).

 

If you are coming from the Civic Center, drive past NIPA Roundabout. Go straight. You’ll see signs for IIEE, UIT and NED on your left hand. Next to NED you’ll see the Silver-Jubilee Gate (Gate No. 1) on your left, with a large silver sign on black marble background, saying:

                                    
UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI


Guests are NOT allowed to enter through this gate. Please, drive past. After traveling another kilometer, you’ll see a Petrol Pump (Gas Station)
. Next to this pump is Gate No. 2 (see map).

If you are coming from the other side (Malir Cantonment, etc.), you will notice the oriental structure of SHAIKH ZAYED ISLAMIC CENTER on your right hand. Go past this center, and you’ll see Gate No. 2 of UNIVERSITY OF KARACHI, adjacent to Petrol Pump, also, on your right.

Please, identify yourself at Gate No. 2. In case of any problems ask the security to dial 2293 or 2380. Once through the Security Checkpost, kindly, drive straight till you reach the end of road. Take a left turn. You’ll see a big Masjid (Muslim place of worship) on your left hand. Drive straight till you, again, reach end of road. Take a right turn (you’ll see Dr. Mehmood Hussain Library on your left and Department of Mathematics on your right – consult map). Go past the main entrance. You'll see a passage across. Turn left (if you turn right, instead, you’ll find Office of Department of Mathematics). After you walk past the stairs going up and the first two doors, you'll see my name plate on the door.

Public Transport: If arriving at the Jinnah International Airport, take Airport Shuttle to Shara-é-Faisal. On Shara-é-Faisal, take Mini Bus D-7 or W-18, going towards Nipa. Get off at Nipa and go to the Bus Stop in front of Nadeem Medical Center. Take Bus 11-C, Sheeraz Coach, Mini Bus G-3 or G-7 to Gate No. 2 of Univesity of Karachi. If coming from Cantonment Station (Train Station), take Bus 11-C, going towards Nipa. From City Station (Train Station), take Bus 8-A to reach Empress Market. Once at Empress Market, take Mini Bus G-3, going towards Safoora Goth (or Karachi University Bus), to reach Gate No. 2.   Passengers arriving from north at the Inter-City Bus Terminal, Al-Asif Square/Sohrab Goth, should take Mini Bus G-17, going towards Safoora Goth. This wagon, also, serves Gate No. 2.

 

Taxi Services: City Cab Service (111 527 222) and Pak Radio Cab Service (111 725 786) take the passengers from Airport to City at resonable rates. Be, extremely, careful when hiring a cab from airport. SMS taxi number to one of your friends on your cell phone. Do not get into a taxi if any person is sitting with the driver.
