Mazar-e-Quaid, also known as the Jinnah Mausoleum or the National Mausoleum, is the final resting place of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Its construction was completed in 1971 as the 1960s modernist style and is an iconic symbol of Karachi. It is one of the most popular tourist sites in karachi. The Jinnah Mausoleum also contains the tomb of Jinnah’s sister, Māder-e Millat, “Mother of the Nation”, Fatima Jinnah, along with the tombs of Liaquat Ali Khan and Nurul Amin, the first and eighth Prime Ministers of Pakistan respectively. The tomb of Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar, a stalwart of the Muslim League from Peshawar, is also located there.
The mausoleum is located in a prominent and highly visible location in the Jamshed Quarters locality of central Karachi, along the northern edge of the colonial-era core at the end of Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road. The Mazar is surrounded by a large garden laid out in a neo-Mughal style in the dense city, with large traffic rotaries at three of its four corners. It is open for visitors from 2 pm to 5:30 pm.
