Mirpur Khas, literary the "land of most royal Mirs", is an ancient and historical city of Sindh. It used to serve as gateway to the Great Thar Desert and is today counted amongst the largest cities of Sindh. Unfortunately, it doesn't offer much to see for its visitors, except for the ancestral graves of Talpur Mirs on the outskirts of the city.
From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
This is the historical ancestral graveyard of the Talpur Mirs, the former rulers of Mirpurkhas. Impressive tombs decorated with beautifully carved calligraphy dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries have very interesting and wonderful sandstone architecture and monuments.
The oldest historical site in Mirpurkhas is of course the Buddhist archeological site, Kahu Jo Darro. A Buddhist stupa was excavated from this site. However, due to negligence by the government authorities, nothing interesting is left on the site for general tourists. Archeologists and scientific investigators, however, can still find interesting remains for their research.
Antiques and armoury belonging to the Talpur rulers are on display in the museum. The museum also serves as a library.
