Habib Bank Plaza, Karachi (must see)

Habib Bank Plaza is the head office of Habib Bank. It was Pakistan's tallest building upon completion in 1963. It remained the tallest building for 4 decades until the 116 m tall MCB Tower was completed in 2005. However, even after the MCB Tower, the Habib Bank Plaza is the fourth tallest building in Karachi today and the ninth tallest in Pakistan.
