Sibi is a historic city in the Balochistan province of Pakistan, located in the northeastern part of the province, about 160 kilometers from the capital city of Quetta. The city is situated in the Sibi Basin, surrounded by arid hills and has a hot and dry climate, with summer temperatures often exceeding 40 degrees Celsius. Historically an important center of the Khanate of Qalat, Sibi is known for its traditional handicrafts and agriculture, with crops such as dates and grains being produced in the region.
Economically, Sibi relies on agriculture, animal husbandry and small-scale industries such as leather processing and carpet weaving. The city has a rich cultural heritage, including ancient forts and mosques that reflect the unique traditions of the Baloch nation. Sibi is also one of the educational hubs of Balochistan with several colleges and technical schools. Although infrastructure is still being developed, the city is gradually connecting to major economic zones through transportation networks and attracting investments to boost regional growth.
