Once upon time this building was icon of latest softwares, Songs, Movies and CBS but now era has bee n changed and market is being captured by various businesses. Located on center of Saddar market nearby empress market and can be accessed all around from Karachi by public transport easily. Two decades ago people were purchasing CDs and earned billions by software development across the globe have emotional attachment with this market. Government take serious action get it Renovated and mark tourist area with classic digital market.

I recently visited the Rainbow Center, a shopping center located adjacent to Empress Market in Saddar, Karachi. The center offers a variety of products, including toys, movie cassettes, DVDs, and dry fruits. While the product selection is decent, I was disappointed with the overall condition of the building. The building is in a rather poor state and desperately needs maintenance. Additionally, it's surprising that there are no public toilets or restroom facilities available for visitors. This is a significant drawback, especially for families with children. Despite the variety of items available for purchase, the lack of basic amenities like restrooms greatly impacts the overall experience. It's a shame because with some improvements in infrastructure and maintenance, Rainbow Center could be a more enjoyable place to shop.

The shopping centre has undergone some changes over the years. While it was previously known for its extensive collection of CDs, it now stands out as a great destination for purchasing dry fruits and fresh oils. A unique experience was buying freshly squeezed coconut oil, prepared right in front of us, and added a fresh and authentic touch to the shopping experience.

The famous place of Karachi for Audio and Video Discs. Now you can buy good quality dry fruits like Almond, Walnut, Pistachio, Figs, Seeds and a lot more. The variety and quality varies but you need to search. Other products available are mobile and computer accessories.

It's use to be one of the biggest place for VHS & CD's now in front dry fruits vendors

I saw this since i am 14 year old. Most Popular Market in Karachi Pakistan. Food stalls. Dry Fruits Etc. Refurbished electronic and different types of things for home essentials

Good place to do many thing. Beware of cheaters sitting over there to make you fool

Average place

Rainbow Center in Karachi, nestled near the iconic Empress Market, carries a rich history intertwined with the city's evolution. Once a bustling hub for various goods, particularly CDs and DVDs, it symbolized the vibrancy of Karachi's commercial landscape. However, over time, encroachment and neglect encumbered its charm, overshadowing its historical significance and impeding access to the Empress Market. The intervention by the government to reclaim the area has breathed new life into this once-thriving market. While remnants of its CD and DVD trade still linger, Rainbow Center now offers a mix of shops ranging from traditional kiryanas to dry fruit vendors. Additionally, the market has retained its allure as a destination for purchasing pets, adding a touch of nostalgia to its revitalized ambiance. For those familiar with Karachi's past, Rainbow Center serves as a poignant reminder of the city's bygone era, evoking memories of bustling streets and diverse commerce. Its proximity to Empress Market, a historical landmark in its own right, further enhances its significance as a symbol of Karachi's cultural heritage. As Rainbow Center continues to evolve amidst ongoing urban revitalization efforts, it stands as a testament to Karachi's resilience and adaptability, preserving a piece of its storied past while embracing the promise of a vibrant future.

Once this had been the hub of Audio, Video cassettes, CDs, DVDs and much more. But with changing times this building is filled with clothing and toy shops with very less original media shops. You can find the shops at ground floor who converts your old Video Cassettes to USBs, DVDs or on any other multimedia devices. Its still a great place to explore at the heart of #Karachi

It is an old shopping center and resident building. Rainbow center was very famous from early 90s and 20s for Movies Cassettes, Songs Cassettes, CD, DVD, Movies/ Singers Posters, PC and Play Station 1, 2, 3, 4 Games, Softwares etc. Now it has changed into garments shops but still some shops sells CD/ DVD and other electronical stuffs. But this is not the computer and mobile market. Keep this in mind. Giving 3 Stars because of its improper maintainance.
