About Islamabad
Islamabad's planned green geometry rises beneath the Margalla Hills—broad avenues, parks, and tree-lined streets create a capital city unlike cluttered South Asian peers. The Faisal Mosque dominates the skyline with its pure white marble and spacious courtyards. The city remains calm, organised, and surprisingly walkable compared to Lahore or Karachi.
