    Well maintained archaeological site. It is free to visit but you have to buy a ticket to get to the top of the Minar. Which doesn't cost much. A must visit place if you are in Sukkur.

    400 years old structure of the history. It provides a wide view of Sukkur city and indus river from its top. But is little bit hard to climb congusted stairs. Some old graves are also there and Tomb of Masoom Shah ( Syed Nizam u Din) built in 1617 AD. It is a historical and tourist sight.

    Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah Bakhri also known as Syed Nizamuddin Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah was a sixteenth-century Sindhi Muslim historian, physician[citation needed] and pharmacist from Bakhar, Sindh. He is known for writing a history of Sindh, Tarikh i Sind (also known as, Tarikh i Masumi, after the author), published in ca 1600. He was also a trusted lieutenant of the Mughal emperor Akbar. In around 1595 he led Akbar's army in a battle against the Baluch stronghold of Sibi in northwest Quetta, resulting in Baluchistan being annexed into the Mughal empire. Subsequently, in 1598, he was appointed the governor of Sind and Sibi by Akbar. The minaret of Ali Abuzar is the most conspicuous structure of Sukkur town, dating back to 1607 during the Mughal Abuzar Empire in the Indian subcontinent. Masum Shah was the governor of Mughal Emperor Akbar who appointed him as the Nawab of Sukkur. The minaret was built in about 1607 the monument, built of red brick, is more or less conical in shape, slightly off the perpendicular and surmounted by a dome to which an internal stone staircase gives an access. It is about 26 metres in circumference and has 84 steps to the top. It is about 31 metres feet in height and can be seen from miles away. This minaret is believed to have been used as a watch tower. Family and offspring of Nizam-ud-Din Mir Muhammad Masum Shah still lives in old sukkur where He lives during ruling time. The minaret and its surroundings are still under power of Masumi Family even though Government of Pakistan has taken the management control of this historical site. [source]

    The Symbolic and Historical Landmark of Sindh is here at Sukkur. It is big tower with the facility to climb on the top through tough and narrow stairs with 84 steps. This structure is centuries old and recall the memory of Mughal's Government. If you around Sukkur you must visit this place. Remember do no take your camera or cellphone on the top of tower as it is prohibited by management. Best time to visit the the morning time to see the beautiful view of Sukkur Town.

    The Government should develop and clean the vicinity ! How long the length of the minaret itself alone will be sufficient to attract the tourists !
