Workation in Islamabad: the essentials

Purpose-built in the 1960s to replace Karachi as Pakistan's capital, Islamabad lies at the foot of the Margalla Hills on a grid drawn up by the Greek planner Constantinos Doxiadis. About 1.1 million people live in its numbered sectors, green and spread out, with ministries, embassies and universities. Hiking trails start at the edge of the city in the Margalla Hills, and the vast Faisal Mosque stands right below them. Rawalpindi adjoins to the south, and a metrobus links the two, while Islamabad International Airport is about 25 km out. A few coworking spaces exist, but the sectors are far apart, so you will need a car or ride-hailing, and evenings are quiet.
