It is New Zealand's first Test series win in Asia since 2008 and their first away to Pakistan since 1969.
A veteran and a debutant led the charge as New Zealand's bowling attack guided them to a historic Test series victory over Pakistan on Friday in Abu Dabhi.
New Zealand won the third Test match against Pakistan by 123 runs to take the series 2-1. Debutant off-spinner Will Somerville, veteran pacer Tim Southee and left arm spinner Ajaj Patel took 3 wickets each as Pakistan were all out for 156 runs in their second innings in the second session of the day.
It is New Zealand's first Test series win in Asia since 2008 and their first away to Pakistan since 1969.
Patel took the last two wickets after Southee had removed two wickets in two overs to put New Zealand on the edge of the victory. Somerville had taken the wicket of Safraz (28) to break a sixth wicket stand that was trying to defy the Kiwis.
Earlier, Somerville had taken successive balls to bring New Zealand within sight of a series-clinching victory as Pakistan slumped to 55-5.
Somerville dismissed Haris Sohail (9) with the third ball of his first over and then had Asad Shafiq caught off the next to leave Pakistan tottering at lunch on the fifth day, chasing a 280-run target.
Opener Imam-ul-Haq was dismissed for 22 in the last over before lunch by spinner Ajaz Patel. Babar Azam was not out on four as Pakistan were rocked.
Pakistan were off to another disastrous start when Mohammad Hafeez was bowled by fast bowler Tim Southee for eight, his last innings in Test cricket.
Hafeez had announced he will retire from Tests after this match.
Medium pacer Colin de Grandhomme had first-innings centurion Azhar Ali caught behind for five before Somerville's double strike pushed Pakistan to the brink.
Earlier, New Zealand declared their second innings on 353-7 after some 45 minutes of batting with Henry Nicholls remaining unbeaten on 126 and Kane Williamson dismissed at his overnight score of 139.
Leg-spinner Yasir Shah finished with 4/129 taking 29 wickets in the series.
