The dark blue Arabian Sea can be seen clearly in the image against the contrasting bright lights of the city. Karachi, known as the City of Lights, is known for its night life where shops are often till way past midnight unlike certain other cities of the country.
Here's another image that Pesquet shared a couple of days ago. This was an image of the city Jeddah, as seen from space.
