About Dhaka

The Venice Of The East
Few cities in the world compare to Dhaka, a metropolis rich in history. It is home to one of the densest populations on the planet. Over 20 million people inhabit its vibrant, sprawling streets, making it a dynamic hub of trade and culture. It is often likened to the energy of New York or Tokyo.
Known as ‘The Venice of the East,’ Dhaka owes its nickname to the Buriganga River, which serves as a vital lifeline, weaving through its diverse boroughs. A standout area is the Port of Sadarghat, located in the southern part of the city’s historic old town.
For those seeking a city brimming with life, culture, and unique experiences, Dhaka promises an unforgettable adventure.
