Nabil Gabol is the son of Ahmed Khan Gabol, and grandson of Allah Bakhsh Gabol, who was the first Deputy Speaker of Sindh Assembly and twice mayor of Karachi.

He has two other brothers who chose to stay away from politics, and are successful businessmen. Gabol, on the other hand, always enjoyed being with his tribe along with having a strong desire to continue the Gabol political dynasty started by his grandfather in 1927.

Gabol received his early education from St Patrick's High School, Karachi. After continuing his higher studies in Los Angeles, California he returned to Pakistan and completed his degree from Karachi University in 1982.
