Masoom Shah Minaret

A tall Mughal-era minaret in Sukkur built as a memorial, offering views over the city and river from its upper gallery.

The Masoom Shah Minaret is a tall Mughal-era memorial tower in Sukkur, built to commemorate a local governor, with an internal staircase leading up to a gallery that offers views over the city and the river below. Climbing it gives one of the better elevated vantage points in Sukkur, taking in the barrage, the bridges and the river's course through the city in one sweep.
