Dewal Bandar, located near present-day Karachi in Pakistan, was an ancient and historically significant port. Known for its flourishing maritime trade with the Gulf region, it served as a major commercial and strategic hub throughout medieval times. Debal served as a major seaport and played a crucial role during the first Arab invasion of Sindh under Muhammad bin Qasim, marking the beginning of Islamic rule in the region. During the Mughal era, Emperor Akbar incorporated Dewal Bandar and nearby Lahri (Lari Bandar) under the administrative control of Thatta, the chief provincial center of Sindh. Notably, Akbar was the only Mughal emperor to mint coins at Dewal Bandar and Lahri Bandar.
