It is located on the east bank of the Indus River, directly across from Sukkur, the third most populous city in Sindh. Rohri town is the administrative headquarters of Rohri Taluka, and a tehsil of Sukkur District with which it forms a metropolitan area.

History
Rohri is 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) west of the ancient city of Aror. Roruka, as capital of the Sauvira Kingdom, is mentioned as an important trading center in early Buddhist literature. Little is known about the city's history prior to the Arab invasion in the eighth century, but Aror was the capital of the Rai dynasty and then the Brahman dynasty that once ruled northern Sindh.
In 711 CE, Aror was captured by the army of Muslim general Muhammad bin Qasim. In 962 CE, a massive earthquake struck the region, causing the course of the Indus River to shift. Aror was re-founded as Rohri afterwards.
Rohri served as a busy port along the Indus by the 1200s, and was a major trading centre for agricultural produce.
