Gwadar
These photographs offer a glimpse of Gwadar, Balochistan, as it appeared around a decade ago. Taken during visits to the coastal city, the collection captures some of Gwadar’s most distinctive landscapes — its quiet beaches, dramatic mountains, sunsets over the Arabian Sea, and views of Gwadar Port. Beyond their natural beauty, these photographs have become a small visual record of Gwadar at an earlier point in its development. As the city and port continue to change, images like these preserve scenes, landscapes and moments that may look quite different today. This gallery is part of "Baloch.net’s photographic archive of Balochistan", documenting the land, coast, people and places of the region through photographs from different periods.
