Sultanabad (Urdu: سلطان آباد) is a multiethnic katchi abadi, or informal settlement, located in central Karachi, Pakistan.
Sultanabad is also home to the New Haji Camp, the centralised location for gathering Hajj pilgrims, previously dispersed across Karachi areas like Lyari, Old Haji Camp, and near Karachi Cantonment railway station.
In 1959, General Muhammad Ayub Khan, then military dictator ruling the country as President of Pakistan, laid its foundation stone near M.T.
Today, the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Inter-faith Harmony oversees the welfare and facilitation of pilgrims preparing for their journey.
[4] Sultanabad, located adjacent to the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, frequently faces security concerns, which have resulted in the demolition of residential houses in the area.
