Islamabad History

posted by dfryer on 11 August 2010 at 11:41

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.

Daman-i-Koh

posted by bevans on 11 August 2010 at 11:18

Daman-i-Koh is a beautiful area of the Margalla hills just outside town. From here you have incredible views over the city and even as far as Rawal Dam lake. The area is very well maintained and is a great spot for picnics and hiking.

Shah Faisal Mosque

posted by xholts on 11 August 2010 at 11:11

This mosque is dedicated to the memory of Shah Faisal of Saudi Arabia and looks like no other mosque I have ever seen before. It is apparently designed to resemble a bedouin tent and can hold 15,000 people under a 40 m high canopy. It has 4 88m high minarets and against the backdrop of the Margalla Hills is an impressive sight.
