Why Arizona?
Arizona, Ditat Deus (God Enriches)
Arizona's most famous and now official nickname, “The Grand Canyon State” celebrates its most iconic feature, the Grand Canyon, a mile-deep chasm carved by the Colorado River. Flagstaff, a ponderosa pine–covered mountain town, is a major gateway to the Grand Canyon. Other natural sites include Saguaro National Park, protecting cactus-filled Sonoran Desert landscape. Tucson is University of Arizona territory and home to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Arizona is also known as the “Copper State” revealing its abundance in this mineral.
The 48th state in the USA is one of the best places to start a new life. Most of the cities in the state are habitable when you consider human factors such as cost of living, job opportunities, and quality of health and education. Moreover, the state has an extensive transport network. Interested in highly touted tourist traps?
