Jiwani or Jwani is a town and commercial port that is located along the Gulf of Oman in the Gwadar District of the Balochistan province in Pakistan.
It holds strategic importance in the region, being located adjacent to the shipping lanes to and from the Persian Gulf.
This is the main reason for the town hosting a relatively large sized naval base and a mud track airport with a 5,500-foot runway which is still accountable to be operational.
Plans to grant fishing concessions and offshore drilling rights are potentially a threat to the wildlife of the area.
Visiting the barracks area of the base used during World War II in Jiwani reveals many handwritten small stories and names of Allied pilots.
