Location of Dreamworld Resort
Dreamworld Resort, Hotel, & Golf Course is located in Gulshan-e-Maymar, adjacent to the society’s Block R. This resort in Karachi can be accessed via the M-9 Karachi-Hyderabad Motorway known to many as the Super Highway. The best route to Dreamworld, Karachi, is to drive along the Motorway for about 10 minutes after you’ve crossed Sohrab Goth’s main chowk until you see a petrol pump with a turning towards the left hand of the road.
Slow down and you’ll probably see a sign pointing the route to Dreamworld Resort from there onwards. The route becomes complicated further on with a series of left and right turns but keep an eye out for the signs and the blocks marked in Gulshan-e-Maymar, and you should reach there quite easily within 15 minutes.
You’ll see the resort’s Galaxy Restaurant welcoming you from its perch atop a hill even before you reach the road that leads to the resort’s main gate, and once there, a membership card needs to be shown on the gate for entry purposes, unless you have a group reservation.
