The Vice President and his accompanying delegation toured the city located in the Basin of Mexico, 35 kilometers northeast of Mexican capital Mexico City. Sheikh Mohammed got familiarized on components of the historic city which includes wonders of the world, which reflects mankind's capability to invent and achieve the impossible since the city was built in a very precise way and includes residential complexes with wonderful designs. These complexes were built by builders and designers using special limestone that entailed massive cutting down of trees. This led to the curtailment of forest areas, damage to green nature of the area and drought. Residents of such forests were obliged to immigrate in 750 AD.
