Jiwani

Jiwani (Urdu, Balochi: جيونى) is a town and commercial port located on the Gulf of Oman in the Gwadar District of the Balochistan province of Pakistan.

The town has a population of 25,000 and is expected to become a major commercial centre in concert with the development of the port city of Gwadar, located nearly 60 kilometres (37 mi) to the east.

Plans to grant fishing concessions and offshore drilling rights are potentially a threat to the wildlife of the area.

Jiwani holds strategic importance in the region, located immediately adjacent to the shipping lanes to and from the Persian Gulf.

Visiting the accommodation area of the airfield base used during World War II in Jiwani reveals many handwritten small stories and names of Allied pilots.
