It covers Attock District, Rawalpindi District, Jhelum District, Chakwal District, Mianwali District, Khushab District, Bhakkar District, Layyah District, Muzaffargarh District and Athara Hazari Tehsil and Ahmadpur Sial Tehsil of Jhang District..

Major areas in this doab include the Kala Chitta Range, Margalla and Murti Hills, Pothohar Plateau, Salt Range and Thal Desert.

Some major cities of this doab are Rawalpindi, Taxila, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum, Pind Dadan Khan, Talagang, Mianwali, Bhakkar, Layyah, Muzaffargarh, Khushab and Quaidabad.

Of the Punjab doabs, the Indus Sagar Doab is the largest in land area, but the poorest for agriculture,[2] due to the presence of the Salt Range and Thal Desert.

Doab Edit

The word doab is of Persian origin, signifying the region between two rivers.[2] According to Shaikh Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak, the grand vizier of the Mughal emperor Akbar, and author of the Akbarnama, the names of the doabs were decided by Akbar.[3]
