The Faisal Mosque is unquestionably the most notable structure and image of Islamabad, however the entirety of Pakistan. It is the biggest mosque in the nation and can be seen from wherever in Islamabad. The mosque is enormous to the point that it covers a region of 5,000 m2 and can accommodate over 250,000 admirers in its inside and outside grounds.

It is an unquestionably welcome blessing with its tremendous and novel plan. Typically Mosques are arch formed yet this one is moulded like a ‘desert Bedouin’s tent’.

You can drive or climb up to Daman-e-Koh, which is found merely most of the way up the mountain for a pleasant, all-encompassing perspective on Islamabad. This is a mainstream site for the two travellers and locals. Be aware of monkeys that wander these zones, however. We saw bounty at the vehicle leave-taking individuals’ food!

The view from base to top is dazzling, and the experience of going all over the mountain in itself is.

Eating Out

The thing about eating out in Islamabad or even Pakistan is that in case you’re not from here, I suggest not eating street-side nourishments. Indeed, even I have become ill when I have had it, so I select to eat at great eateries or eat at my grandparent’s house. So should you! My family members are amiable, so in case you’re ever in Islamabad, told me, and I’ll attach you with them.

In any case, in case you’re feeling audacious, there are road food sellers and side of the road cafés (Dhabas) all over Islamabad.

Islamabad Club

The Islamabad Club is a selective club where the membership includes fundamentally of government authorities, negotiators and the tip-top of Islamabad. Presently that puts most, if not every one of you in a sticky situation, but rather in case you’re in Islamabad for quite a while, it’s beneficial to get participation here.

The club is outfitted with pools, tennis courts, rec centre, library and much more. They have a stellar Sunday informal breakfast and week by week supper buffet arrangement serving tasty Pakistani and mainland food across live stations and pre-prepared dinners.

Well on the off chance that you drive/climb up further from Daman-e-Koh, you will reach Monal restaurant where you can enjoy some delicious kababs and other legitimate Pakistani dishes like Biryani and Handi. Monal is promoted as the #1 café in Islamabad on TripAdvisor. Apart from the excellent food, the view is shocking.

Hotspot

A hotspot is a hip; youthful group home base recognizes that serves stunning handcrafted frozen yoghurt, cakes and different flavorful sweets. Unexpected is the name since it generally serves cold dishes yet I get it is a hotspot since it is continually occurring and buzzing. Ahhh, I see what they did there. The hotspot has since extended from its unique area in F7, and you would now be able to discover more modest shops across Islamabad. We lean toward the first one as the shophouse has a very vintage look and feel to it. The dividers are secured with intriguing banners of old Bollywood and Lollywood (Pakistani film) motion pictures and even comic books.

Jinnah Supermarket

My number one spot to go out on the town to shop in Islamabad is Jinnah market. It is situated in the F7 area of Islamabad and is formed like a doughnut with a wide range of shops in the outer circle, and the internal process has some adornments stores and Dhaba-style eateries.

Jinnah is the place where everybody hangs out, other than Centaurus shopping centre yet I haven’t placed that in the rundown since 1) I don’t care for shopping centres, so a lot, 2) we have so numerous in Bangkok and 3) would you genuinely like to go to a shopping centre on your excursion here?

In any case, Jinnah market is the place where you ought to be going because you will discover nearby brands and less expensive costs when contrasted with the shopping centre.

Sunday Bazar

Although called Sunday (Itwar) Bazar, it is open on different days too. Now and again Tuesday or Wednesday and at times Friday also.
