the National Mausoleum, is the
final resting place of Muhammad Ali
Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan.
Designed in a 1960s modernist
style, it was completed in 1971, and
is an iconic symbol of Karachi as
well as one of the most popular
tourist sites in the city.[1] The
mausoleum complex also contains
the tomb of Jinnah's sister, Māder-e
Millat ("Mother of the Nation")
Fatima Jinnah, as well as those of
Liaquat Ali Khan and Nurul Amin, the
first and eighth Prime Ministers of
Pakistan respectively. The tomb of
Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar, a stalwart
of the Muslim League from
Peshawar, is also located there.
