The story
At the foot of the Margalla Hills, Faisal Mosque is the capital’s most photographed religious landmark. Non-Muslim visitors are generally welcome outside prayer times when local rules allow - follow dress guidance and photography norms. It pairs naturally with Margalla viewpoints the same half-day.
