Treasure Chest of World History

The "Treasure Chest of World History" is one of the most intriguing reasons to visit Pakistan that you may not have heard of. The entire country of Pakistan is a unique historical treasure. It contains history from the time of the Buddha and some of the earliest Buddha statues along with important relics of Buddhist monasteries can be found in areas such as Taxila.

There are also substantial remnants of the Hellenistic world in the form of art, utensils, swords and statues from the time of Alexander the Great, who invaded the land around 327 BC. There are awe-inspiring temples dedicated to various Hindu deities due to the immense popularity of Hinduism and great mosques that reflect the art of the great Mughals, invaders from Central Asia. In the 20th century, great buildings were built, clock towers and prestigious railway lines still stand as a testament to British rule. In the port city of Karachi, you’ll see remnants of colonial times with landmarks like Frere Hall and Empress Market or the abandoned Bristol Hotel.
