The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has made Gwadar a further focus of attention because China has not only built a highway connecting Gwadar Port and northern Pakistan but also improved the port and surrounding coastal areas. This includes creating various housing solutions for Pakistani and Chinese nationals who will work in the port. Most of the construction works were carried out near Jinnah Street behind the old town of Gwadar.

Stola Island, also known as Jezira Haft Talar Satadip or “Island of Seven Mountains”, is an uninhabited Pakistani island located in the Arabian Sea. It is also Pakistan’s largest island, the epitome of the underrated beauty of Balochistan. This is a quite secluded place, which gives it a beautiful feeling. You can camp, dive and fish here.
2- Ormara Beach
Ormara Beach is located between Karachi and Gwadar, on the Makran Coast Highway, and is a naval base. It is 240 kilometers away from Karachi, less than 5 hours by car. Omara was one of the stops of Alexander the Great. One of his generals died here, named Ormuz, hence the name Ormara.
This is an impressive sight because you can see several aircraft carriers from the beach, and it is one of the best pristine natural beaches in the country.
3- Hammerhead
This rock mass resembles the shape of a hammer whale and was formed by erupting mud volcanoes. Most of the rocks in the Gwadar area were formed by these volcanic eruptions. The beautiful view of the Arabian Sea to the south of Hammerhead, and the magnificent view of the city of Gwadar to the north.
4- The Sphinx
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to see the magnificent Egyptian Sphinx in front of it instead of in the photo? Gwadar has a naturally carved sphinx at the top of the mountain that looks like a man-made sculpture. Its beauty and splendor have attracted many tourists from all over the world.
5- Princess Of Hope
The Hope Princess is located in Pakistan’s largest national park and is another top tourist attraction. It is believed that the formation is man-made, but history claims that it was carved in the same way as the Sphinx and the hammerhead shark, formed by erupting the dirt hills that covered these areas.
It is presented in the form of a primitive female statue, which is impressive due to its huge size and seemingly man-made shape.

Climate
Gwadar has a hot desert climate, characterised by little precipitation and high variation between summer and winter temperatures.Oceanic influence from the cool currents of the Arabian Sea moderates temperatures, resulting in notably cooler summer temperatures compared to areas inland and cities in the Persian Gulf such as Dubai.

The mean temperature in the hottest month (June) remains between 31 °C and 32 °C. The mean temperature in the coolest month (January) varies from 18 °C to 19 °C. The uniformity of temperature is a unique characteristic of the Makran Coastal region.
