It’s a very small but adequate museum. Just carries the important pottery and other artefacts found in near by excavation site. Similar stones pottery pieces were found on hill also. But the place was kept nice and clean by the administration so it’s a job well done. The toilets however were all Asian style.
Such a great place to visit. I visited this place in mid September 2020. The place was well managed, clean, and very green. The museum and its surrounding area was well maintained and not crowded at all. Bathrooms were clean as well. There werent many shops in the vicinity but its was a nice and quite spot to bring children and learn about history.
Old heritage site. It has good sight seeing options. Everyone should go there with family.
Centuries of history is piled up amongst the ruins of Bhambore fort. This is the iconic and historical place where Muhammad Bin Qasim fought the forces of Raja Dahir in the year 712AD and eventually became successful. This led to the advent of Islam in South Asia. The place has a small museum which has beautiful old artefacts from different civilizations which lived in this region. The place interestingly has a few rest houses as well which can be rented for Rs. 5000 only for a period of 12 hours. Right behind the Fort is a tributary of River Indus. Back in the day River Indus actually used to flow across it. It is an amazing place to renew history.
It is great visiting place near karachi. I visited many times, but every visit give me a new feelings. I think if here arrange some camping facilities. And night stay. It will be great for adventures.
Best place to visit karachi near by... historical site and well maintained
It was really good. It is such a good historical place and environment was very good and it is a informative place for travelers
Its a wonderful place outside karachi full of peace n fresh air...a complete historic place...must visit
This place was just okay as it had a typically small canteen area, the museum is well built, the fort is been in extincting stage its better if it is recovered, guest houses have been built which is a great step towards modernization , bathroom facility is also available, yes there is a ticket charge and a great water tank is also placed which in turn makes the facility as a motel with AC rooms for stay. A great place for an archealogist and historians and specifically school trips and you should pack your food as there are no restaurants there, its a great point for picnics.
Not much to see, one can hardly view museum in 10 mins, rest are mountainous areas not much of an interest. However there are some rest houses which family can rent for a day or night stay.
Although archaeological museums throughout Pakistan are pretty poor places - and not surprisingly as these operate without any official development funds (with 90% pr more funds going for salaries) - Bhambore must take the unenviable distinction of probably being the worse. Indeed with entry fee of about 12 US cents hardly anything is possible. The museum comprises one hall with about 10 display windows. The building was put up about 50 years ago and the only additions (to the main building) were two large plaques by an egoistic minister and officials who wanted their names to be part of history (in whatever way - negative or positive). The great innovation in the display windows is that these operate on natural light with a large went for sunlight to lighten up the displays. A few terribly un-creative structures designed like typical government rest-rooms have been put up on the side-lawns - with the architect having no sense of place (like a facade made of stones that form the fronts of thousands of Karachis elite homes). There was no water in the wash rooms - fortunately this was warned in advance or else I would have been left stranded. The upkeep of the main display room is pathetic - again not surprisingly as from personal experience I know that the governments actual expenditure of funds is about 30% (rest being pilfered and embezzled).
For the historic value its a great place to visit ,but given its far away from the city and the black of public facilities such as the basic sanitary facilities beg one to ask for more.
Very historical site and definitely national asset. Need to preserve it for our future generations.
Good place to visit with family
First foot prints at Sindh muhommad Bin Qasim good place for view.
An ancient Historical place. Remains of 4500 yrs old civilization. 65km from Karachi City.
An excellent way of haritage of historically importance preservation good work must be appreciated
It was awesome experience, Banbhore or Bhambore, is an ancient city dating to the 1st century BC located in Sindh, Pakistan. The city ruins lie on the N-5 National Highway, east of Karachi. It dates back to the Scytho-Parthian era and was later controlled by Muslims from the 8th to the 13th century, after which it was abandoned.
Historical site on the coastal Bank of Arabian sea. Little far from Karachi. Worth visiting place of Sassui
Good Palace for Day Trip
Old utensils of Mud and stone keep here but very few visitors visits now this Museum
Should make your kids visit this place
This is a very critical historical site in the history of Indo-Pak. It is widely believed that this is the Debal site in Sindh, Thatta, at which Arabs, through Muhammad Bin Qasim, first arrived and attacked Sindh and eventually increased their influence in coming decades. Islams arrival in India was therefore through this route, if such historians are believed.The museum at this site has a good collection. The staff is limited and not much knowledgeable, neither is material written on boards too prolific. But still you will find some good anecdotes and other local stories. The site itself provides some valuable collections of archaeological interest. The location is also very safe to arrive at, and a beautiful one. I truly enjoyed it. Students should must visit this site.It is also not much far away from Karachi, and can easily be covered with a day trip
Place is Full Of History. Also. Its a Place where FIRST MASJID|MOSQUE OF SOUTH ASIA WAS BUILT..
Historical and lovely place
Awesome
Its really good
Good place to explore
Small museum but full of history. Knowledgeable staff. Beautiful and clean adjacent park. Good place to visit.
Great place, an hours drive from Karachi centre. A must visit place, serene and inspiring.
Mesueum is worth visiting if u r traveling on that route already
Thats a good place historical place for. Muslim there is first mosque which is built janubi asia i will upload more pics ....
Truly loved that place which was the amphibious landing objective area of Arabs in Sub continent under command of Muhammad Bin Qasim in 714 AD. Place and museum are not in good condition but at least maintained just satisfactorily. Worth watching otherwise if you love history.
This is a historical place which requires serious attention of Government of Sindh.
You can find oldest civilization in BHAMBORE from 2 - 9 century AC, its wonderful place but unfortunately just like other historical places in Sindh, BHAMBORE also one of the most neglected historical sight in Sindh, its around 52 km from Karachi at national Highway, it can be great tourist spot but at the moment you would experience very bad road condition, dirty floors, no clean drinking water or hygienic food facility or resturent. Beware of dogs, they are roaming around inside.
Poor collection of archeology.
Must visit point
Its good. museum is well maintained.
Historical place. Need SINDH Government NAZR E KARAM.
Visit seaside of the creek. Its awsome experience. I am planning to spend a whole night there with friends camping and b b q
Bhanbore museum is one of many archaeological historical museums located across Pakistan.It is located on Sindh coastal highway . National Highway fro, Karachi will take you there.A small museum which contains hundreds of different types of things which were discovered during the digging of old city of Bhanbore.The museum now being built is part of a project to be completed near the excavation site. The sheer size of the city, and its provision of public buildings and facilities, suggests a high level of social organization.
Nice little museum. Caretaker explains the displays and history of the ancient city. Recommended for those interested in historical sites. Limited facilities though for visitors. Do not expect to find proper food there.
It has amazing artifacts from the era of Bin Qasims siege. It needs improvement. Entry ticket is Rs.30.
Nice
Ancient muslim town.

Nothing is here. Dont go for time wasting.
Nice heritage place
A very good and informative museum which tells us about the past and great history.
It tells us about the history and life style of people in the olden days
Tourist attraction place
Need to improvement nd still not for family
A historical place. Researchers must visit here at Bhambore.
Tells about history and life style of ancient Deebal now Bhambore.
A great historical place banbhore museum must visit
A beautiful historical place, considered to be the place where Mohammad Bin Qasim and his troops faced Raja Dahir and his army, sailing up river Sindhu (now called Darya e Sindh). It is said river Sindh changed its course and this allowed sea water to spill inwards. I just wish the government could realize the importance of this historic monument and pay attention to it. Without having researched and even then asking for directions I would have simply driven past this place. With a bit of preservation work and attention this could tourist attraction.
Memorable visit
Got this place when we were going back to Karachi from Gharo
Not in good shape. So so. Good history though but the place is not in lime light these days.
Best place for Anthropologie
Gateway to sindh great experience
Beautiful place
Very Nice Musume. Where all the things of Banbhors History are present.
Its historical place but nowadays very poor condition.
Cool & historical place to visit with family in week days. Last year on eid i was here with friends & enjoyed a lot.
Lovely and charming place for only those who love historic places.
Nice place to visit, just an hour drive away from Karachi on National Highway with very easy access to this museum. The museum shows the remainings from 14th century to 17th century. Its a small museum.
A historic site having lot scenery and ruins of Muhammad Bin Qasim era
Historical place, good place for visit with family
