Muhammad Ali Jinnah Road (Urdu: شاہراہ محمد على جناح), frequently abbreviated as MA Jinnah Road, is a major thoroughfare in central Karachi, Pakistan. The road was originally named Bandar Road (بندر روڈ ;"Port Road"), owing to the fact that it linked the city to the Port of Karachi,[1] but was later renamed in honour of Pakistan's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah.[2][3] MA Jinnah Road stretches 6.1 kilometres from Jinnah Bridge in the south, near the Port of Karachi, to Gurumandir Chowk, north of Mazar-e-Quaid.[1] It is one of the city's oldest roads,[4] and passes through much of the colonial era historic core of Karachi, with numerous landmarks along its route.
