Dhaka is located in a monsoon climate zone, which means it receives plenty of rainfall every year between May and September during monsoon season. These natural conditions have made it perfect for growing rice and jute, which is why it is one of the worlds leading rice and jute growing regions. The city has a strong Muslim influence that is reflected in the roughly seven hundred mosques and historical buildings that give the city its character. Like many cities, Dhaka can be divided into an old and new city. The new portion of the city is characterized by residential and industrial communities while the old portion makes for better sight seeing.
With skyscrapers towering above the surrounding hills and houses, Dhaka is the capital and largest city of Bangladesh. Geographically speaking, it is located in the center of the country and is served by the port of Narayanganj. It is a city that is rich in history and culture and it is known internationally as 'the City of Mosques and Muslin'. No trip to Bangladesh is complete without first visiting Dhaka.
