If you're visiting Islamabad, Faisal Mosque will be at the top of your list of places to see, and is definitely the best spot to place this geocache - the first virtual cache in Pakistan! (I think!)
The Faisal Mosque is the national mosque of Pakistan.It is the fifth-largest mosque in the world, the largest mosque outside the Middle East, and the largest within South Asia, located in the foothills of the Margalla Hills in Islamabad. The mosque features a contemporary design and is inspired by a typical Bedouin tent. A major tourist attraction in Pakistan, the mosque is an influential piece of Islamic architecture. Construction of the mosque began in 1976 after a $28 million grant from Saudi King Faisal, whose name the mosque bears.
