Phoenix "Valley of the Sun" situated in the midst
of a desert full of saguaro cactus, is a very popular tourist destination particularly during
the winter. Phoenix is situated on a flat valley floor with mountains surrounding it on every
side. While in Phoenix play a round of golf, take in the Arizona State Capital Museum
and the Deer Valley Rock Art Center is an absolute 'must see' in the area.
Although it's the largest city in the US Southwest, Phoenix's greatest
attraction is the land that surrounds it - vast expanse of untamed desert. Today, as the state
capital, Phoenix is as modern as any American metropolis, with a hyperactive arts scene and an
economy as brisk as they come. Downtown Phoenix is primarily a government and financial center,
with little to tempt the traveler apart from the state capitol, a few museums and a score of
galleries. The copper-domed old state capitol, now housing a museum of early Arizona artifacts,
sits just in front of the new capitol in the heart of downtown.
