Ancient Zoroastrian texts sing praises of Peshawar as one of the most beautiful places ever created on earth. Surrounded by finest specimens of Mughal architectures and Central Asian-influenced decor, Peshawar is indeed a sight to behold. Present situation might mar the experience, but a visit to white marble mosque Mahabat Khan and the impressive Peshawar Museum will tell you a tale of the city’s old grandeur preserved in time.
