Islamabad - City of Pakistan

Islamabad, by virtue of its lush green mountains, pollution fee environment, scenic beauty and modern civic amenities, has an irresistible attraction for people both at home and abroad.

This pull has been further enhanced by the city's wide open roads, modern town planning, clean residential areas and good security.

Therefore, owning a home in Islamabad must have been dream of those who have visited this city once in their lifetime.

The name of the capital city of Pakistan means �the abode of Islam�. Islamabad is new, planned, spacious leafy and green. The wide roads, detached houses and gardens contrast somewhat with the old Pakistani city (twin city) of Rawalpindi. The city was envisaged by Field Marshal Ayub Khan on an entirely new site which he thought suitable. Lahore might well have been the new capital but for its proximity to the Indian border. Islamabad is expeditious, bordering the two provinces of Punjab and north-west Frontier, near the hills with a healthy unpolluted climate.

Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan; it is located in the Pothohar Plateau in the northwest of country. It is referred as Islamabad Capital Territory, though the area has historically been a part of the Punjab region and the North-West Frontier Province (the Margalla pass has been a gateway to the North-West Frontier Province, and the Pothohar Plateau been a part of the Punjab. It is located at 33�40′'N 73�10′'E.
