Situated around 65 km east of Karachi is Banbhore, one of the most captivating and secretive verifiable attractions in Sindh. The site is regularly spelled as "Bambhore" and has played a huge role throughout the entire existence of Islam in South Asia. As per the discoveries of certain history specialists, the site of Bhanbore has the remainders of the old city of Debal or Daybul. It is a similar city where Raja Dahir, an acclaimed Hindu leader of the time, was crushed by the Arab officer Muhammad bin Qasim, who was a gutsy Muslim champion in the Islamic and political history of the subcontinent.
Then again, according to a few other archeological records, the historical backdrop of Bhanbhore has ended up being far more seasoned than the historical backdrop of Islam, tracing all the way back to the primary century BC. Assuming we collect every one of the authentic records together, we reach the resolution that the site was managed by Scytho-Parthian (from first century BC to the second century AD), Hindu-Buddhist (from second century AD to the eighth century AD), and Islamic Rulers in South Asia (from eighth century AD to the thirteenth century AD). There are the remaining parts of an old mosque with an engraving, which is accepted to be north of 1200 years of age. It is found on the eastern side of Bhanbore and is, no doubt, one of the most all around safeguarded instances of the most established mosques in the area.

Bhanbhore once facilitated a completely functional port known as 'Debal Port', which traces all the way back to as old as the middle age time frame. Clearly, the port isn't utilitarian any longer yet its set of experiences actually astounds a many individuals. Since the primary wellspring of the consumable water supply of this old city was River Indus, the destiny of the city was extraordinarily reliant upon the progression of this waterway. Along these lines, when Indus shifted its direction in the thirteenth century, the city was deserted and was never possessed again. The classic story of Sassi and Punnu is likewise connected with this traveler objective in Sindh and it is frequently called "the city of two sweethearts".
