Introducing Pakistan
Pakistan displays some of Asia's most magnificent landscapes as it stretches
from the Arabian Sea, its southern border, to some of the world's most
spectacular mountain ranges in the north. Pakistan is also home to sites that
date back to word's earliest settlements rivaling those of ancient Egypt and
Mesopotamia.
