Old and New Delhi Monument Sightseeing Tour
Your Delhi tour guide will take you around the city for sightseeing, starting with Jama Masjid.
Jama Masjid
Jama Masjid is India's largest mosque, built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1655.
You will see the stunningly engraved calligraphy in Persian at the entrances of Jama Masjid's prayer hall. Built in Mughal architectural style, Jama Masjid has three domes and four minarets, and a plethora of tourists and worshippers can be seen here until sunset.
The Teela, a tower like a lighthouse, can be reached by climbing snake-like staircases, surrounded by cavernous walls and dark alleys.
The bird's-eye view is sure to entice you, so keep your cameras ready to capture the everlasting beauty of the city from the tower.
Red Fort
Next, you will visit the Red Fort, which was built in red stone by Shah Jahan. The Red Fort of Delhi is one of the most astonishing tourist attractions in the city. This iconic fort was the residence of the emperors of the Mughal dynasty. Its design was inspired by Agra Fort. Lying on the banks of the Yamuna River, the massive and highly protected walls of this well-planned fort, embracing a deep forest, reflect the Mughals' impeccable planning and some of the best engineering of that period.
Raj Ghat
Drive past Red Fort on the way to Raj Ghat, a memorial covered with black embellished marble, built in remembrance of Mahatma Gandhi. This memorial is known as the Forest of Peace.
Humayun's Tomb
Humayun's Tomb is a great combination of Persian and Indian craftsmanship in architecture. This garden tomb was built in 1560. The iconic monument is a great symbol of Mughal architecture and clearly portrays the diversity and perfection of this architectural style.
Lotus Temple
This monument is a symbol of the Bahai religion and was built in 1986. Tourists come here from across the globe to capture its wonderful views. Lotus Temple offers everyone a peaceful place for meditation, as the Bahai faith strongly supports harmony, brotherhood, and humanity.
Qutub Minar
Qutub Minar is one of the most interesting historical monuments in Delhi and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has been standing for 900 years.
The tower of Qutub Minar is a 73-metre-tall minaret constructed in red stone. Qutub Minar has a large complex of Hindu and Jain temples, which were demolished by Persian invaders.
In front of the temples, the first mosque was built by Shams Ud-Din Iltutmish.
