Sindh, the land of the Sufis, is home to the historical monuments of Makli, Thatta. Thatta was ruled by the Mughals but was also the capital of three powerful dynasties and a well-known center of Islamic civilization. Some historians are of the opinion that Thatta is the fabled port of Patala, the main Port on Indus during the times of Alexander the Great. It is also believed by historians that Thatta is the ancient sea port of Debal mentioned by the Arab Historians. The Umayyads controlled the region surrounding Thatta from 711 CE till 1026 CE when it was conquered by Mahmud Ghaznavi. In 1351, The Samma Dynasty seized the city and ruled the city for 200 years.

The Samma dynasty was a golden period for the area and the world renowned Makli Necropolis rose to prominence during this time. It covers an area of 10 square kilometers and houses around 500,000 tombs. The architecture is a mix of Muslim, Hindu, Mughal and Gujrati influences. The material used is brick, sandstone and wood. The buildings are adorned with floral motifs, decorated rosettes, circular patterns and Islamic calligraphy.
