Islamabad History
posted by dfryer The Islamabad Museum documents the country's rich and long history with exhibits dating back 20 million years with fossils from the region. There are lots of ancient tools and implements. A highlight for me was the large collection of Gandharan and Mughal art. |
Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan and the tenth largest in the country. It was purpose built during the 1960s to replace Karachi and now has a population of over 4.5 million inhabitants. In recent years there has been a push towards foreign investment in the city's business and this has led to Islamabad becoming the bustling and vibrant metropolis it is today. Once you have organised your cheap Islamabad flights, it's important to bear in mind how you plan to transfer from the airport to your choice of cheap Islamabad hotels. There are, of course, many different options from public transport to taxis. The easiest way to transfer is to take advantage of car hire from Islamabad Airport, as cheap Islamabad car hire is available in abundance there. Whether or not you have made use of Islamabad car hire, you can always be sure to find something to do in Islamabad as there are a multitude of different shopping centres, arcades, excellent restaurants and even adventure sports activities scattered across the city. One must-see place during your trip has to be the Rose and Jasmine Gardens, a stunning public garden that seems miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city.Hiring a car in Islamabad
