Islamabad officially the capital of Pakistan, is a modern and meticulously planned city located in the northern part of the country. Spanning an area of approximately 906 square kilometers (349 square miles), it lies at the foot of the picturesque Margalla Hills, bordered by Rawalpindi to the south and the Haripur district to the north. Renowned for its lush greenery, clean environment, and architectural harmony, Islamabad serves as Pakistan’s political and administrative hub.

The city was officially constructed during the 1960s, replacing Karachi as the capital, with the vision of creating a symbol of progress and modernity. Designed by Greek architect Constantinos Apostolou Doxiadis, Islamabad is divided into well-organized sectors and zones, including residential, commercial, and diplomatic areas.

Islamabad is home to iconic landmarks such as the Faisal Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world, and the Pakistan Monument, symbolizing national unity. Its rich blend of natural beauty and modern infrastructure makes it a unique destination. The city also serves as the gateway to the cultural and historical heritage of northern Pakistan, linking modernity with centuries-old traditions.
