In this Video i have tour to oldest village of Islamabad pakistan Known as Saidpur Village. Saidpur (Urdu: سیدپور) is a village and union council (UC-1) located in a ravine in Pakistan in the Margalla Hills, near the Daman-e-Koh overlook, in the Islamabad Capital Territory. It is a Mughal Era village hosting a wide spectrum of religious and cultural heritage, and serves as a tourist spot for locals as well as foreigners. The area around the village has been a part of several civilizations, including the Gandhara, the Buddhists, the Greeks, Ashoka of the Maurya Empire, the Mughal Empire, and the British Raj. One of the oldest villages in the region that is still inhabited, Saidpur was founded in 1530 by Mirza Fateh Ali. It was named Fatehpur Baoli after its founder. The village was handed over to Said Khan Gakhar by Emperor Akbar after the former's family's services in the war effort against Sher Shah Suri. As a result, the settlement was renamed to 'Saidpur'. Sultan Said Khan was the son of Sultan Sarang Khan, a chief of the Potohar area during the reign of Mughal Emperor Babur. Several years later, Said Khan's daughter married Akbar's son, Saleem (who later ascended the throne as Emperor Jahangir), and Saidpur was given to her as a gift by her father. Tuzk-e-Jahangiri, Jahangir's autobiography, mentions his stay at a village "beyond Rawalpindi", believed to be Saidpur, en route to Kabul. The village was only a garden resort at that time, and a natural spring flowed across it, providing water for drinking and irrigation. #saidpur #saidpurvillage #saidpurvillageislamabad #islamabadpakistan #Islamabad #village #touristplace #touristspot INSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/invites/con...
