Islamabad

Islamabad - The Capital
http://www.islamabad.net

Islamabad (pop. 524,500), is the capital of Pakistan, just North East of it's twin city Rawalpindi, the former interim capital. Construction of Islamabad as the capital, replacing Karachi, began in the 1960s. Points of interest include Pakistan House, the Presidential Palace; the National Assembly Building; the National University, the Grand National Mosque and the Islamabad Botanical Gardens. The nearby Murree Hills also serve as a summer resort as well as summer headquarters for many diplomatic missions. Also near the city are the historical ruins of The city of Taxila.

yup.. it was on the news!

the govt has invited international chains to openup three six stars in the capital.. due to the shortage of hotel rooms !

and Lahore is getting a lot of stuff .. and Karachi is getting a 7 STAR !

and Muzzaffarabad and Gwadar are also getting six star hotels.. Muzzaffarabad is getting a PC .. Gwadar is getting a Marriot that'll over look the arabian gulf

Nice...Lived in Islamabad in the mid 80's for a couple of years. It was nice back then; but i am sure it has developed alot more.
