ABOUT 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.
Location
Located in South
Asia, Pakistan shares an eastern border with India and a
north-eastern border with China. Iran makes up the country’s
south-west border, and Afghanistan runes along its western and
northern edge. The Arabian Sea is Pakistan’s southern boundary with
1,064 km of coastline.
The country has a
total area of 796,095 sq km and is nearly four times the size of the
United Kingdom. From Gwadar Bay in it’s south-eastern corner, the
country extends more than 1,800 km to the Khunjerab Pass on China’s
border. |
