Introduction To
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.
