Not quite the burj tower, but worth a look. Impressive brickwork, nice gardens and surrounding area. For fantastic photo go back to the arches and take one from there. Only Akers an hour at most to see
The Qutab is an excellent example for Moghul architecture. This building along with the court yards were once used by the Moghul emperors. The structure is an architectural marvel as in one single piece the entire minar is built. All the supporting structures were used extensively with each element in the building having a meaning. Even though i have visited...

You absolutely must have a knowledgeable guide and plan to spend a fair amount of time here. My husband although retired works in stone restoration just couldn't get enough of it all spending vast amount of time picking the brains of the guide. For me it was a photographer's delight. Even have a photo of the nearly 1,000 year old...

A very towering monument. I read somewhere that it was even taller than what it is now but was cut down, since it leaned to one side. A good place to know how red sandstones were used to construct the monument, the first three floors looked red, and the upper section looked white.
As foreigners, you pay the premium admission price (locals go cheaper!) but the queue isn't so long! You are no longer allowed up the minaret (health & safety!) but the wander around the site is more than enough and the decoration carved into the masonry is beautiful.
