Places to See

The most important place to See in Hub is the nearby Gaddani beach and Ship Breaking yard, once a very important Ship breaking Industry where thousands of retired ships were broken for recycling, now a day is a bit slow but it is worth a look to go and have a look at it. Foreigners require a permission from Pakistan Navy to go to the yard. Travel & Culture Services offers a private day Excursion to Gaddani and Hub please contact us for details.
