A watch tower at Pir Patho near Thatta beside the old river bed of the river Indus, Pakistan 1990.


On top of a small hillock in District Thatta stands the Mohammad Bin Qasim Fort Tower. Pir Patho, which looks like a watchtower or lighthouse, is attributed to Mohammad Bin Qasim because it is apparently located where the young general first set up camp after arriving in Sindh in the 17th century.
