Sukkur

Sukkur is a city in the Pakistani province of Sindh along the western bank of the Indus River, directly across from the historic city of Rohri. Sukkur is the third-largest city in Sindh after Karachi and Hyderabad, and the 14th largest city in Pakistan by population. New Sukkur was established during the British era alongside the village of Sukkur. Sukkur's hill, along with the hill on the river island of Bukkur, forms what is sometimes considered the "Gate of Sindh".

Sukkur is recognized all over the world for its dates. Sukkur also has a big riverine forest along the Indus River. These tropical woodlands may be found on either side of the Indus within the protective embankments. The Sukkur Barrage, the world's biggest single irrigation network of its type, is the pride of Pakistan's irrigation system. It irrigates practically the whole province, from the Sukkur district in the north to the Tharparkar or Mirpurkhas and Hyderabad districts in the south.
