Pakistan
The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is a South Asian state formed by the division of British India. Despite the very tense relations with its neighbor, this country is considered to be a trendy tourist destination. Ruins of ancient cities, mountain fortresses, and priceless monuments of architecture, Islamic sanctuaries, and relics have been preserved here. Islamabad, the capital of the country, deserves special attention. The city is the center of pilgrimage, where believers come every year to visit temples, including the Faisal Mosque — one of the largest in the world. Holidays on the beaches of the Arabian Sea are very popular. Here you can not only sunbathe and swim but also improve your health at medical resorts.
