For 313 years, the Badshahi Mosque is one of the most beautiful mosque in the world. With capacity for 100,000 worshippers on its grounds, it dwarfed the Taj Mahal, a structure that could fit inside the massive courtyard. Although the mosque seems like a tremendous religious structure, its history has almost seen more use as a military base.

Mohenjo Daro is a famous site of excavation located in the Sind province of Pakistan that bears the archeological remains of the Indus Valley Civilization, one of the oldest urban settlements of the world considered to be contemporaneous with the very ancient civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia, Minoa and Norte Chico.

The eye-popping Shah Faisal Mosque, nestled at the foot of the Margalla Hills, is one of Asia's largest and reflects an eclectic blend of ultramodern and traditional architectural design styles. Topped by sloping roofs (a stark contrast to the traditional domes found on most mosques), the main prayer hall and courtyard is said to hold around 100,000 people.
