The greater Phoenix metropolitan area is the capital of Arizona and the sixth most populous city in the United States.

With scant rainfall and lots of sunshine, Phoenix is a popular destination for people who enjoy the desert climate. The warm winters allow for year-round outdoor activities like hiking and cycling.

The cultural scene of the Phoenix area is lively with a number of venues for concerts, sports, theatre and the arts. Local museums have some of the most extensive collections of historic Navajo and Hopi artworks.
