Dhaka

Proud commerical and cultural Bangladeshi base

Dhaka, city of mosques, is the proud – and rapidly expanding – commercial and cultural hub of Bangladesh. On the upper reaches of the Ganges delta, it’s notoriously susceptible to flooding in monsoon season, and has had more than its fair share of troubles. Today it’s a thriving city, with more than just a touch of old colonial glamour between the modest concrete high-rises.
