- In the mid-stream of the Indus River, between Rohri and Sukkur, there are several islands known as Bakhar, Sadha Bela, and Din Bela. Upstream, above Bakhar and opposite Rohri, lies a compact island called Khawaja Khizr (Khidr), which contains the shrine of the legendary saint, Zinda Pir.
- Mir Fateh Ali Khan founded the Talpur dynasty, which ruled Sindh from 1784 to 1843 AD. Mir Sohrab Khan Talpur, the first ruler of the Khairpur region, established his headquarters at Kot Diji and built a fort there in 1803, called the Kot Diji Fort. The fort took 28 years to complete and was finished in 1830. A Persian inscription on the Shahi Darwaza confirms that the fort was named Ahmadabad. Kot Diji, meaning “the fort of the daughter,” has also been known as the Fort of Ahmedabad. It was named after Ahmed, a Persian architect who designed the fort. The fort dominates the town of Kot Diji. Construction began in 1785 atop a hill at the edge of a desert in Sindh and was completed in 1795.
