This mosque, one of the largest mosque in the world, is situed in Islamabad, capital of Pakistan, was built in 1976 with the help of Saudi Arabia (costing around US$120 Millions) in the memories of late King Shah Faisal of Saudi Arabia. The architecture of the mosque is very unique (designed by a turkish architecture, who won it against other 43 proposals), having an area of about 5000 square meters (which can hold approximately 8000 people at atime for the prayers) and still does not have any pillars to support its structure. The design of the mosque is such that all the weight distribution is on the walls, and not in the centre of the roof (A design innovation). This design has made this mosque one of unique entities, and makes it worh seeing. After marriage I went along with my wife to this mosque and took pictures, which are magnificient and still remind us of our golden days in the background of this magnificient mosque. The interior of the mosque is decorated by the famous Pskistani artist Sadqain. It is no doubt the focal point and icon of the Islamabad in particular and of Pakistan in general. It is worth seeinng and highly recommended for unique building lovers.
Advantages: A gorgeous destination full of colour, laughter and culture Disadvantages: Too many people so if you don?t like rushes and lots of noise beware (lol)
. The best picnic spots are in the north of the lake.

Islamabad the capital of Pakistan is a glorious and most the beautiful place ever, nestling against the mar gala hills which lead up to the Himalayas in northern Punjab.
An open spaced designed in a modern way, Islamabad has glorious wide spaced streets and roads lined with well kept trees and other greenery. The aide walks are shaded and safe with flame trees, jacaranda and hibiscus. The parks are full of beautiful fragrances e.g. roses, jasmine and bouganvillaea. The houses are massive, the public buildings are very elegant and the shopping bazaars are well organised. The scenic view points show the cities beauty to the max.
Although an Islamic country Pakistan does have churches mainly found in the capital towns where many Europeans are situated ...

Pakistan is well known for its mountainous and hilly areas some of the above places to see in Islamabad come under this category.
My favourite place to visit
though is the shahfaisalmosque which is maybe the second or third biggest in the world and one of the most expensive .
Tourists flock to see this mosque from all over asia.
margaalla and murree hills is a good stopping point to take in the scenery with hills and lakes
and nice scenery all around.
Islamabad museum houses ...
