- Breakfast at the hotel.
- Tour of Old Delhi.
Old Delhi was once called New Delhi and this was in the 17th century.
The sultans built for themselves the capitals and regions of these cities before the reign of the Great Mogul Shah Jahan and they were just a common urban entity called Delhi. Shah Jahan decided to build a new capital - Shahjahanabad.
From that moment on, Shahjahanabad became New Delhi. Now, after centuries, the New Delhi of the Great Mughal has turned into Old Delhi. In old Delhi, Shahjahan ordered the construction of the Red Fort, similar to the one he had in Agra, and the Great Mosque - Jami Masjid.
In Old Delhi, life is in full swing according to the laws of the multimillion-dollar jungle and medieval exoticism. Narrow streets and low houses.
Jami Mosque: Built under the orders of the fifth Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, Jami Mosque is one of the largest mosques in India.
Chandni Chowk: The Chandni Chowk area was designed by the eldest daughter of Emperor Shah Jahan to attract traders from different countries. Her name was Jahanara.
Red Fort: One of the outstanding architectural structures of Indian culture. The construction of the Red Fort in Delhi was completed in 1648.
This huge and at the same time beautiful structure was intended for the residence of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. After the colonization of India, the fortress housed an English garrison until 1947.
Particular attention was paid to the beauty of the building. Inside there were many palaces, pavilions, swimming pools, and green spaces, which generally make an impression even today. (we'll see from the street)
Sikh Temple: The temple is called Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib which is one of the main Sikh temples in Delhi. It was built in 1783 to commemorate the martyrdom of the ninth Guru of the Sikh religions, who was named Guru Tag Bahadur.
