Sibi (Urdu and Balochi: سبی ) is a district in the Balochistan province of Pakistan. The climate and topography of Sibi District are quite varied compared to the other districts of Balochistan. It is also known as the "hotspot" of Pakistan, where the temperatures in the summer exceeded 52.6 °C (126.7 °F). Until 2002, the district had two subdivisions, Sibi and Harnai, further organized into Tehsils and sub-tehsils: Sibi, Kutmandi and Sangan. Lehri was joined with Sibi district in 2002 and Harnai was made a separate district. Sibi tehsil is predominantly inhabited by Baloch tribes (Silachi, Rind, Marri, Jamot, Magsi) and Pashtun tribes of Panni (Barozai, Luni, Khajjak Nodhani, etc.). The town of Sibi is chiefly built upon lands of Marghazani and Dehpal.
