Description:
A vibrant metropolis located in the desert, Phoenix is a place with a stunning Southwestern landscape that still has cowboys, cactuses, and red-rock buttes. The city lies in a basin known as the Valley of the Sun, and through irrigation, Phoenix has become a green oasis in the middle of the desert. The city in the Valley of the Sun is also the gateway to the Grand Canyon, a must see in everyone’s life. The golf courses in Phoenix stay green year-round, there are endless paths and parks in the city area and surrounding mountains to discover, exciting sporting venues, and plenty of boutiques and shopping malls to peruse. Tons of sights and attractions are worth seeing in Phoenix, including the Heard Museum, featuring one of America’s largest collections of traditional and contemporary Native art, and the Desert Botanical Garden with over 50,000 different species of desert plants.
