This towering example of Indo-Islamic architecture stands 73 meters (240 feet) tall, making it one of the world’s tallest brick minarets. The construction began in 1193 AD under Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the founder of the Delhi Sultanate, and was completed by his successor, Iltutmish.

The minaret is crafted from red sandstone and marble, featuring intricate carvings and Quranic verses inscribed on its walls. The tower is divided into five distinct stories, each marked by a projecting balcony.

Humayun’s Tomb - Humayun’s Tomb, located in Delhi, India, is a magnificent mausoleum and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built in the 16th century, it is considered a precursor to the Taj Mahal due to its architectural significance. The tomb was commissioned by Empress Bega Begum, the widow of Emperor Humayun, and designed by Persian architect Mirak Mirza Ghiyas.

Constructed primarily of red sandstone with white marble inlays and intricate carvings, the tomb is set in a large Charbagh (fourfold) garden, typical of Persian and Mughal styles, with pathways and water channels dividing the garden into four squares.

Friday Mosque (Jama Masjid) - Jama Masjid, located in the heart of Old Delhi, is one of India’s largest and most magnificent mosques.

Built in the 17th century by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and designed by his daughter Jahanara Begum, the name “Chandni Chowk” translates to “Moonlight Square” or “Moonlight Market,” referring to its location opposite the Red Fort, where moonlight would reflect off its white marble.

The Taj Mahal is set amidst a vast Mughal garden with reflecting pools, adding to its grandeur. The white marble changes color depending on the sunlight, appearing pinkish in the morning, milky white in the evening, and golden under the moonlight, creating a magical effect.

Notable structures within the fort include the Jahangir Palace, built by Akbar for his son Jahangir and later expanded by Shah Jahan, featuring intricate stone carvings, marble inlays, and beautiful gardens. Another highlight is the Khas Mahal, a white marble palace built by Shah Jahan for his daughters, offering stunning views of the Yamuna River.

Fatehpur Sikri’s architecture reflects a blend of Hindu, Persian, and Islamic styles, with several impressive buildings and monuments. One of the most famous structures is the Buland Darwaza, or “Gate of Magnificence,” the tallest gateway in the world, serving as the city’s main entrance.

The fort, made of red sandstone and marble, is renowned for its blend of Hindu and Mughal architectural styles. Situated on a hilltop, it offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The fort is known for its artistic Hindu style elements like large ramparts, series of gates, and cobbled paths.

Key attractions include the Sheesh Mahal (Mirror Palace), known for its exquisite mirror work that reflects even the smallest ray of light across the interiors, creating a dazzling effect.

Impressive India - Excellent trip. It is worth mentioning that our guide and driver Khan made all the difference. Attentive, safe and very professional. We spent an unforgettable week here in India. All the other guides he recommended at the tourist attractions were very good too. Including the rickshaw ride in old Delhi (impressive). I confess that I was impressed by everything in this country. If you ask me if I would come back, I would say yes, but it has to be with Khan.
