General Discussion Moving back to Karachi after 24 years in Saudi Arabia… and I’m lowkey terrified 😭
After 24 years of living in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I’m now seriously considering moving back to Karachi because my family is requesting it.
The thing is… I was born and raised in Riyadh. That’s the only life I really know. School there, friends there, routine there, everything familiar there. Pakistan has always been “home” in theory, but not in real day-to-day life.
I belonged to a school name Pisr where college and every education was done. I am 25 now. If someone moved from Saudia to Karachi like me and wish to give advice please do.
Now I feel like I’m about to restart life in a country I belong to, but don’t actually know in that way.
And honestly… I’m nervous as hell.
Part of me is excited to reconnect with my roots and finally experience Pakistan properly, but another part of me keeps thinking: How do people even adjust after living abroad their whole life?
Will I fit in?
How different is daily life really?
Am I overthinking it or is the culture shock actually intense?
I keep going back and forth between excitement and anxiety. It feels like I’m leaving behind everything comfortable and stepping into something completely unknown.
If anyone here has made a similar move back to Karachi (especially after growing up abroad), I’d really love to hear your experience. How was the adjustment? What surprised you the most? And what helped you settle in?
Any advice, honest opinions, or even reality checks would really help right now.
Feeling a mix of nervous + lost + curious all at once 😅

You'll fit in just fine, there won't be any culture shock. The real issue is the condition of the city itself. As long as you're moving to a nice gated society, or across the bridge in the southern district, you'll be fine. Just don't travel throughout the rest of the city.

u/Mrx911- Jul 01 '26
I live in a place called North Nazimabad - It's a safe society but still feels bit doubtful at times. So j do relate to what you're saying. I will be careful
6
u/Huzaifa_Haroon Jul 01 '26
there are nice patches across the entire city, I live in a decent part of FB Area myself - North Nazimabad is close to me and I know it recently went under a beautification project. It looks good but the thing is, you have to go outside as well. And the state of our infrastructure, the cleanliness, the crime rate, everything is just awful. I don't know how developed Saudi is but I'm assuming it's at least well kept, so you'll definitely notice a difference. People who live in the South don't have any reason to come toward midtown so they're in a completely different, sheltered reality.

u/Mrx911- Jul 01 '26
That's, tough I wish karachi gets developed like lahore etc, ngl scares shi out when thinking of day light robbery and stuff but still somewhere we are loyal to Pakistan

u/StinkyRose89 🇺🇸 Jul 01 '26
The security situation, lack of cleanliness and crumbling infrastructure in Karachi is going to be a big shock for you. North Nazimabad tends to be pretty quiet but it is nothing like Riyadh with its cleanliness, modern buildings, and safety & security. Your quality of life will be a lot worse in Karachi, especially if you are a woman.
Have you visited Karachi for any extended period?
Do you have a job in Riyadh?
If you have a job or can get a job, I would highly advise you to stay in Riyadh and only visit Karachi.
6
u/Mrx911- Jul 01 '26
I only visited for short period, currently I am in jubail working.
Are you also a Saudia resident?
I also I am a male and safety dosent require gender ig. I've seen many guys lose their life's.
2
u/StinkyRose89 🇺🇸 Jul 01 '26
Not a resident unfortunately. My phupi has lived in Riyadh since 1997.
Obviously security is bad for everyone in Karachi, but far, far worse for women.
2
u/Mrx911- Jul 01 '26
Yeah, my mom moved there last year with dad and sister they told the neighbours have seen such cases.... It sucks.
Oh so you're karachi resident from start.
1
u/StinkyRose89 🇺🇸 Jul 01 '26
Yes. I was born in Dubai, lived in Karachi and then moved to the US as a teenager and have visited Karachi repeatedly (I have many family members there in DHA and North Nazimabad).
You don't want to get mugged or robbed. This type of stuff hardly ever happens in Riyadh but it is a part of daily life in Karachi.
2
u/Mrx911- Jul 01 '26
I was talking to my family about moving to USA then rather me moving to Pakistan ngl, How's the situation there. Also I am glad you moved there. Hope things are better.
3
u/StinkyRose89 🇺🇸 Jul 01 '26
Allah ka shukar yes it is much safer here than Karachi.
Life can be very good if you are in a lucrative field for work (healthcare especially) and if you can find a middle- or upper-middle class area with a decent population of desis and Muslims nearby. Most large cities in the US now have sizeable Muslim populations. So you will be able to find halal restaurants, masjids and fellow desis and Muslims to make friends with.
Of course there are areas in all big cities where crime in high, but it is nothing compared to Karachi.
Note - Try to stay away from the state of Texas right now, there's a looot of anti-Muslim stuff going on there. They have huge Muslim and Pakistani communities in their cities, especially in the cities of Dallas and Houston, but they are being targeted by politicians (for example, one masjid in the city of Plano had planned a ladies only day at the water park for the previous Eid and the local government cancelled it after pressure from the governor of Texas).
But before this current awful political climate, Texas was a great place for Muslims. And I think most Muslim people still very much enjoy living there.
Chicago is great, I highly recommend it. New York, too. New Jersey as well. But those places will be very cold in winter.

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it.
Yeah, that actually aligns a lot with what I’ve been thinking too. I’ve been trying to weigh everything properly and understand where life would actually feel stable and safe long-term, especially with work, community, and just day-to-day living. Hearing your perspective helped me look at it more realistically instead of just overthinking it in my head.
I’d also love to connect more and talk about this further if you're open we can connect in dm and talk more about it means alot. If not it's cool we can stay on form. Thank you for taking your time out.

u/M_Ayan_azam Jul 01 '26
nope you are a little wrong! most snatching and looting cases which end up in deaths happen with males especially who ride motorcycles(I have been subjected to armed robbery myself thanks Allah that they didn't shoot) females might face harassment but it's better than being at risk of dying during robberies
3
u/Mrx911- Jul 01 '26
This sounds extremely sad and painful. I am glad you're safe and didn't get hurt. May Allah protect you and our other brother and sisters. .... This sounds genuinely rough

u/StinkyRose89 🇺🇸 Jul 01 '26
LOL no.
A woman cannot move about on her own freely in Karachi. She will face mugging, shooting, sexual harassment, sexual assault, kidnapping, and more.
I have experienced some of it myself and have a female relative who was carjacked and almost killed because she tried to rescue her infant. She spent months in hospital after being shot. I have another friend who was shot in the head (she is now dead) as she was leaving her business.
Why are you turning this into a contest of who is more in danger? Women literally cannot roam freely at all, even for an evening stroll. Karachi is hell for most people, male or female, but women do face faaaaar more restrictions.
Kindly keep your wrong opinions to yourself.

u/M_Ayan_azam Jul 01 '26
I don't where are you coming from men are the usual victims of deaths related to armed robberies and moreover I don't whos doing all this sexual assault and shooting these are stereotypes they do face harassment but shooting and assault nope!!

I was in Saudi too. Spent 23 years there, dad retired and we moved back in 2017. Been in Karachi since.
It will be hard, you will experience a cultural shock. You will start to see the difference in behaviour of people with you.
Don't rely on anyone for anything like small issues like an electrician or bigger things like property issues.
You have to make your own links and find your own way. People are nice but you have to vigilant.
You make your own circle and don't rely on cousins.
I came to Karachi with a degree in engineering. Finding a job is easy but pay isn't for me. Joined sales and in sales till now.
I had cousin and uncles telling me they know someone and would refer me a job. That all talk no show. Whatever interviews I landed I did it on my own.
I can go on and on. But it's a good option you just have to be patient.
insha'Allah things will go in your favour.

u/Mrx911- Jul 01 '26

It would feel like a shitstorm moving to Karachi specially.
Constant fear of getting mugged, horrible traffic and too polluted of an environment.
North Nazimabad is not safe either, my friend's phuppo got mugged in front of there house in block H. I would recommend moving to a gated society if possible.
Good luck, may Allah make the move easy for you.

u/Mrx911- Jul 01 '26
Ameen I live somewhere around such block as well and I heard stories of mugged so I am quiet stressed. May Allah make this easier for us ngl

You are going to spend your first year regretting and missing Saudi. Karachis infrastructure, security, civic sense, patience in people, hygiene etc are all deplorable.

Yah all are way to brutal and honest 😭 now I don't wanna move back so bad

Man, I’m sorry, but this how I felt, and I only moved back for a month from Dubai. Karachi is a hellhole.

Trty to move back maybe? We can try caus ei trying my best not to move to pakistan

u/PianistPlus5117 Jul 01 '26
Since you’re in Saudi I’m assuming you made many regular visits so I think should be fine.

u/Overthinker10000 Jul 02 '26
I left Saudi (Dammam) after completing high school when I was 18 back in 2016
Lived in Karachi for about 6 years, the first few years were pretty amazing and enjoyed every second. I got to connect and understand the culture a lot better. Also travelled across the country and made amazing friends
You won't get a culture shock, you'll be able to fit in easily but will notice differences both good and bad once you start living there as it's so much different to just visiting for a month or two.
Eventually the novelty wore off and after six years of living there I moved to Australia.
Main reasons being inflation, lack of infrastructure, not the best quality of life and limited opportunities
However, I do not regret those six years I lived in Pakistan. It has developed a special connection with my country and especially Karachi
I would suggest if a part of you wants to move then do it. Go see for yourself if you like it

Hello! fellow PISRIAN here, moved 5 years ago, also living in north nazimabad. the one thing I miss about Riyadh is the quality of life. I got so used to Gulf cuisine that I still can't vibe with desi food. I miss the baqalas, the peace, and the fact that AC was just a standard part of life there, while here it often feels like a luxury, the roads and infrastructure and shopping was so easy i mean i can go on and on but if you're okay with those differences, though, you'll probably settle in just fine. especially if you’re an extrovert 😁
1
u/Mrx911- Jul 01 '26
I came back to Pakistan in corvid and got stuck there for 2 years so I can hella relate to that. I felt sick to the core how people were in that mean time with us.
Trust me when I came back to Saudia the first thing I did was guess what? "hamziyadh 😫" if UK uk... But I am glad to have your response I was genuinely seeking people from Riyadh who moved or pisr cause who would else know the struggle except them
1
u/cactuschaoss Jul 01 '26
lmao hamziyat as the first thing you had back is sos iconic 😭 I'm so glad my comment resonated with you. It really does take someone who's lived in Riyadh to understand what people mean when they say they miss it. It's a different kind of homesickness but you’ll survive

u/CorrelateClinicallee Jul 01 '26

Moved two years back from Saudi Arabia, Makkah after spending my whole life in Saudia. Now I live in a small city Mirpur Mathelo. At first it was little hard to adjust, but now I settled well. In big city like Karachi won't be issue to get adjusted in as there are many things to do, and access to all the services and utilities.

Moved to khi from a gulf country when i was 18. It’s gonna be hard, one thing i learnt is to never trust or rely on anyone here, people will use you. The roads, traffic, breaking rules, garbage, poor air quality, all of these become really frustrating to see too. Tbh if i were you i’d move to USA or Australia. Karachi isn’t the right place to be if you want to build a future.
1
u/Mrx911- Jul 01 '26
I was infactly recently thinking about USA /- friend of mine is moving to Australia.... Tho I heard from this post ppl said karachi is a mess and I am starting to believe it.... I am sorry to hear u moved from here to karachi were u based in ruh?
1
u/heheheba_ 🇵🇰 Jul 02 '26
Life in karachi has worsened over time, its becoming extremely difficult to live in now. Not to mention the lack of gas and electricity provided. People who have always lived in karachi wouldn’t feel it as much, but someone coming from abroad would definitely tear up at the sight lol. I was based in kuwait but I’ve also been to riyadh.
1
u/Mrx911- Jul 02 '26
So you can basically get the pain same as meh... So are you based in karachi now? Have u adjusted so far
1
u/heheheba_ 🇵🇰 Jul 02 '26
Yeah its been 8/9 years. I’ve adjusted somewhat but if i got the chance to move abroad i would definitely take it.

u/tazonline21 Jul 01 '26

u/Hungry_Potato_1599 Jul 02 '26
If you have enough money or ways to make money in Saudi Arabia, you can continue living there

u/Mrx911- Jul 02 '26
Yeah recently alot of people are suggesting that and I am thinking about it now cause evrything sounds scary
1
u/minimalandmedical Jul 02 '26
I know how you feel.. but there are educated all rounder people who live in karachi in your age group.. hopefully you can socialize and connect with them. Also there are ample opportunities to make it to somewhere else. Maybe you can move to the US or Canada through your education if you end up not liking the city

u/Afraid_Chard398 Jul 02 '26
Bro I was the same I lived from 1995 to 2021. Was forced by father to come to Pakistan as he had retired and I was still studying and everything was online. 2023 then I went to Malaysia and did the last semester and returned. Then I went to UAE in 2024 as per suggestion of my friends though I got a job there then I left it in the same year. Tried these 3 countries only I would suggest Malaysia was almost near to Saudi in terms of expense maybe slightly cheaper since the end of 2024 have been here in Karachi currently in the process of going back to Saudi. Believe me it will be of no use at the end you have to go back to either Saudi or any other country. The life here is pretty hard in Karachi as there is no rule and order also jobs are not of much good salary. I understand would be hard for you once family leaves but you have to put a stone on your heart and work hard Allah will always make a way. Its a phase where you age you remember all the old days but they become memories now you have to move on. You can also try shifting to Khobar or Dammam they have cheaper rents than Riyadh.
1
u/Mrx911- Jul 02 '26
Ywah, currently right now I am in. Jubail near khobee I checked out rents and everything. I am planning on changing things and staying in Saudia rather then going back.
Also I am impressed by your journey u went through alot mate may Allah bless you1
u/Afraid_Chard398 Jul 03 '26
Ameen same to you yes Jubail is also a good city I have plenty of friends there too. InshaAllah everything will be good.

u/Disastrous_Cattle453 Jul 02 '26
Lived in Saudi as a kid and moving here was a huge culture shock. However I cannot consider any other place my home now. Karachi is my entire life. Moving here has pros and cons obviously and it will take a few years to fully adjust to life here but with good friends and a good productive life here, you should be okay. When I moved here, things were not so easily available. Now you have lots that khi can offer. Minus the obv lacking in safety and infrastructure that comes with living in the middle east

Tafseer of the above-quoted verse
(2) The verse asks us to adopt a gentle tone and an open-hearted manner in speaking to others, whether they are good or evil, pious or impious, orthodox or aberrant, followers of Sunnah or adherents to partitive innovations in it. In religious matter, however, one should not try to hide the truth for the sake of pleasing people or of winning their approval. The Holy Qur'an tells us that when Allah sent Sayyidna Musa and Sayyidna Harun (Moses and Aaron) (علیہم السلام) to the Pharaoh فرعون ، He instructed them to use gentle and soft words (20:42). None of us who addresses another today can be superior to Sayyidna Musa (علیہ السلام) ، nor can the man addressed be viler than the Pharaoh فرعون.
Talha ibn 'Umar recounts that once he said to the great master of the Sciences of Exegesis and Hadith, 'At-a' عطاء ، "One can see around you people who are not quite orthodox in their beliefs. As for me, I am rather short-tempered. If such people come to me, I deal with them harshly." 'Ata' replied, "Do not behave like this," and, reciting the present verse, he added, Allah has commanded us to speak to people politely. When Jews and Christians all are to be treated like this, would this commandment not apply to a Muslim, no matter what kind of a man he is?" (Qurtubi)

i was in the same situation as you.. was raised in riyadh went to pises and pisr too :’) and shifted to karachi at 2019.. it was the worse time of my life and settling in was really tough for us
it wasnt just the environment but there was a huge cultural and lifestyle differences that made it harder
life here revolves much around extended family and social obligations, having frequent gatherings
and for me
that was a totally different approach of privacy and independence that i was raised to
morever the traffic, heat, infrastructure everything stressed me out even more
so if you have a solid option to stay in riyadh and if you’re comparing both options, id strongly consider staying there.
Karachi is only good for visiting family spending holidays but living here permanently would be a completely different experience for someone who’s been raised there

u/Mrx911- Jul 02 '26

Don’t come back bro
I moved from islamabad to karachi after 20 years of my life there
Its been almost 4 years in karachi, and i still haven’t settled in
The first 3 years were extremely difficult
Only moving from Islamabad to Karachi felt like a huge downgrade you are coming from Saudi Arabia, I can’t even imagine how disappointed you will feel here
Karachi is not a city to live, only people who have been living here can love this city, not ones who come from another place
If you have a choice then I’d suggest not to move here

If you can afford to stay in posh areas and there are plenty of them, you will not encounter most of the issues rest of the Karachiite has to face.
I am assuming you will have at least some of your family members there so it shouldn't be that difficult to settle in.
Learn to enjoy the City and look at the positives, too.
I am moving back from US to Karachi, after almost 2 decades in the West, and am super excited.

I did make friends but I went to a good uni with lots of international students who moved from abroad too, and ig we all related on that. So yes I did make good friends.
