About 563 km (350 miles) from Karachi on the Super Highway via Dadu, lies Moenjodaro, one of the sites of the world famous Indus Valley Civilization (click on "MOENJODARO" for the picture). The Archeaological Museum in Moenjodaro is definitely worth a visit. Another site of the Indus Valley Civilization is at Harappa near Sahiwal. For Moenjodaro, air and train services are available from Karachi.
Today, after many years of excavation, Moenjodaro has come to be known as one of the most spectacular ancient cities of the world. Whether it shared its leadership with Harappa or not, it was certainly a metropolis of the first order.
It had mud-brick and baked-brick buildings, an elaborate covered drainage system with soak-pits for disposal bins, a large state granary, a spacious pillared hall, a College of Priests, a large and imposing building (probably a palace), and a citadel mound which incorporates in its margin a system of solid burnt brick towers. Efforts are being made to save the ruins from crumbling due to rising water table.
