                <description><![CDATA[It is the former residence of Miss Fatima Jinnah, sister of the Founder of Pakistan. Now, it has been converted into a veritable museum which carries temperorary collections. No permanent collections are here.<br><br>The structure is built in Hindu-British style and is made of pink stone which gives it a unique style.<br><br>Tickets for adults cost Rs.10.

                <description><![CDATA[It is the largest mosque in Lahore and one of the largest in the world. In fact, there are reports that it has the largest courtyard in the world. It was built by Aurangzeb, the last Great Mughul Emperor of India in a record time of 2 and half years. <br><br>I recommend it because without a visit to this mosque your trip to Lahore shall remain incomplete.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[It is a very popular hill station, some 1 and half hour drive from Islamabad.   I recommend it because Islamabad, during summers, can become hot and bad. So you need to run away from that heat. Murree is a fine option.  NOTE: Avoid going to Murree during summer holidays as it is full and dirty. So many people rush there that its usefulness becomes void.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Hazrat Abdullah Shah Ghazi (RA) is the patron Saint of Karachi. People, most of them Muslims, come here to pay homage to him from across the country. His tomb is built on a very high platform, but people say that his actual grave is downstairs. I recommend it because I think you cannnot understand the life in Pakistan without understanding these 'mazars' (tombs). They are a micro version of any city where they exist.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[These buildings were generally built by British, but rich Hindus and Muslims also built some splendid structures. Most of these can be found in the old areas of Karachi. They include Kharadar, Mithadar, Saddar, Burns Road and Tower areas. I recommend them because they are part of city's landscape. The good examples are KMC Head Office and Mohatta Palace.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A restaurant at Boat Basin in Karachi, which serves excellent kebab rolls. I recommend it because it is too delicious. And it is easy on the pocket as well. Plus, the quality is fine. I have never found it average or below average.]]></description>

                <link>http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/1273</link>
                
                <description><![CDATA[I recommend it because Karachi has lots of places from where you can get the local handicrafts. Unfortunately, most of them just fleece people. Saddar is one place where you can get a good thing at a reasonable price. Please note that Saddar bazar is a collective term that I have used to indicate an entire place in Karachi. There you will find lots of leather bags, bangles and other things. Look for marble items there as well.]]></description>
