About Gwadar

The Pearl of
the Arabian Sea

Gwadar is Pakistan's most exciting emerging destination β€” a coastal city on the Balochistan coast where the Arabian Sea meets dramatic Makran mountains. As the centrepiece of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), it is transforming into a world-class deep-sea port city.

Beyond CPEC, Gwadar has always been a natural paradise. Golden beaches, giant rock formations shaped like hammers and sphinxes, active mud volcanoes, and Pakistan's largest offshore island are all within reach. The seafood here β€” fresh from the Arabian Sea every morning β€” is among the best in the country.

πŸ– Hammerhead Peninsula

Naturally formed peninsula surrounded by sea on 3 sides β€” Gwadar's most iconic landmark

🦭 Astola Island

Pakistan's largest offshore island β€” 40km from Pasni, famous for scuba diving and dolphins

πŸŒ‹ Mud Volcanoes

Chandragup sacred mud volcano β€” erupts mud not lava, revered by Hindu pilgrims

🦁 Princess of Hope

Natural rock statue named by Angelina Jolie during a UN visit to Pakistan
