Bangladesh

Dhaka is the capital and largest city of Bangladesh, known historically as the "City of Mosques" for its vast number of mosques spread across its old and new districts. With an overwhelmingly Muslim population, Dhaka is home to important historic mosques dating back to the Mughal era as well as large modern congregational mosques such as Baitul Mukarram, the national mosque of Bangladesh. The city hosts major Islamic universities and madrasahs, and its streets are lined with halal restaurants and food stalls reflecting Dhaka's role as the country's religious, political and commercial capital.
