A gift from Saudi Arabia, the pictured Faisal mosque holds up to 100,000 worshippers.
Some say Islamabad is 20 mins. away from Pakistan, or for that matter, Asia. It is the capital of Pakistan, which was only built around 40 years ago or so.
Come back for more tips and pictures...eventually!
- Pros:Peaceful, beautiful relaxing city...
- Cons:can be a bit boring! or unstimulating!
- In a nutshell:A haven in the midst of poverty

hellooooo i m a resident of islamabad and its so not boring There are many places to visit for sightseeing, shopping relaxing etc etc .And faisal mosque is not the biggest mosque in the world its the 5th largest.
A hike up the mountain every morning before you go to work! What a great idea!
Very nice trip but i should say that you must visit Hunza Vally too to see the old culture and high mountains. Best of luck and happy travelling.
interesting tips!
