Up on the fourth floor in the main Jinnah Intl building where the visitor's gallery is, I think. Its wierd that you access it by passing through the visitor's gallery. Control towers are usually kept away from the general public access areas.

There was only one picture of KHI ATC and it was look like some where in new building but if it was in the main building how the controllers see around the airport ??? What I know is that thay should be able to see all sides of the airport from the top of the tower.
