About Dhaka, Bangladesh

Dhaka, Bangladesh's bustling capital, is a fascinating city. It is not only a comfortable blend of the east and west but is also a mixture of the past and present. It's a place where history and culture surrounds you - where you can absorb yourself in the traditional Bengali culture or feel the emerging sense of modern Bangladesh. Since 2000, international arrival in Dhaka has been swelling in numbers. In the recent years, domestic tourism has got its momentum as well, and local destinations are getting popular among the Bangladeshis and international travelers. Cox's Bazar, with its 200 mile long beach, the Sundarbans (the largest mangrove forest of the world and an UNESCO heritage site) and Kuakata, to name a few, are among the most popular destinations.

Dhaka is the commercial and administrative centre of the country. Located on the bank of river "Buriganga," it has been a flourishing river port and commercial hub of the sub-continent for centuries. Motijheel area is the main business centre of the country and home to the city's skyscrapers. The newly emerged commercial complexes of Gulshan, Banani and Baridhara are gradually taking over as the modern blue chip commercial hub of the city. Many of the large multinational companies are moving their headquarters into this new area, as newly developed office buildings are being constructed.
The main international banks, airlines and other service companies are basing themselves in this exclusive area, which also houses the majority of the Diplomatic Missions and associated offices.

With the growth of hotels and restaurants, Dhaka is also experiencing a massive growth in shopping. With increasing number of shopping malls, shopping in Dhaka is fast developing to be as exciting as the large cities of Asia. Recently built "Basundhara Garden City," one of the largest shopping mall in South Asia, has set a benchmark in the shopping industry. Other mega shopping malls are in the pipeline and are expected to open in the next two years. While Bangladesh offers travelers many memories to take back with them, there are also tangible traditional handicrafts to carry home. Modern Bangladesh has even more variety to offer with its international quality ready-made garments at extremely competitive prices. There are many places to find bargains in Dhaka. Modern shopping malls and specialty stores carry high-quality imported goods at very affordable prices. If you are looking for an even better deal, do not forget to make your way to the ever-popular "Banga Bazar," a large market of ready-made garments.

With all the happenings, Dhaka is a changing and growing city. It is gradually preparing itself to be the centre force of this emerging economy.
