Phoenix, denoting a city born from the ruins of a former civilization (namely the Hohokam Native Americans), is the largest city and the capital of the state of Arizona and home to 1.5 million "Phoenicians". Located in the Salt River Valley or "Valley of the Sun", the city is surrounded by mountains and has an arid climate with extremely hot summers often exceeding 100F (38C) and temperate winters. Cultural attractions include the performing arts, several fine museums, a zoo, a thriving arts scene (most galleries are in Downtown Phoenix), and a major sports scene (mainly football, basketball, hockey) as several professional sports franchises are based here, as well as countless parks and recreation areas. The waterparks are a welcome refreshment from the searing heat and you’ll also find beautiful botanical gardens and golf courses.
