The geography of Mithi is characterized by its arid landscape, typical of the Thar Desert, which influences the climate, agriculture, and daily life in the town.

The region is known for its unique flora and fauna adapted to the harsh desert conditions, as well as for the traditional mud-brick architecture found in the town.

Mithi is now considered the heart of Tharparkar District with a high level of economic and social activity.

Almost 3,000 Chinese technicians and engineers are expected to arrive on site to help locals in running the heavy machinery.

Majority of the population in Mithi belong to the Hindu community, and is one of the few areas of Sindh, Pakistan which are primarily non-Muslim.
