Chronologically, of the “seven cities of Delhi”, Mehrauli was the second. The Qutub Minar (tower) soars over this UNESCO World Heritage site, an agglomeration of mosques, gateways, and tombs. The Minar signals the advent of Islamic rule in India, with the establishment of the Delhi Sultanate at the beginning of the 13th century. We also introduce you on this sightseeing trip to Sufism, the mystic, all-embracing form of Islam, with a visit to the hospice of a medieval Sufi saint.
