| Clifton Beach
We have visited sea view first, apx 15 Km drive we are moving towards Clifton Beach....
Karachi may logo ke max ababadi sea view ka rukh kertee hay. Magar ab kuch arsay say city Govt nay Clifton beach per bhi khas tawaja dee hoi hay. Jiskee bina per uskee khobsorti may char chand lag chukay hain....
A beautiful sunset on a beach; with exotic-named islands in the back ground - Oyster Islands; and one of the world highest jet fountain. Yes, this is Clifton Beach, Karachi! I have read in the newspaper and heard arguments against this wastage, but there were hundreds-thousand of people there to watch this and enjoy. The fountain opens around sunset (1800 hours to 2400), and is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Last year (2006) the fountain remained closed during the monsoon season, probably due to rough sea and high tides. The fountain is planned to be functional again by Sept 1. Best time to view this at sunset. The project is part of the City’s beautification program. It has been designed to enhance the beauty of the coastline, and cost is more than Rs 250 mio. The Fountain Jet throws water to a height of 500 feet, with a pressure of 25 to 30 bars, which is the highest Fountain Jet of the world. The fountain is illuminated with 18 floodlights. Its operation room has one generator of 35 KVA and two diesel engines of 835 KW each. You can also now take a boat ride to the fountain to view it upclose.
