Top tips for Riyadh to Delhi
See a wonder of the world
Take a day trip to the spectacular Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The impressive white ivory structure might resemble a mosque such as the Al Rajhi Grand Mosque in Riyadh.
However, this is actually a Muslim mausoleum, built to honour Mughal emperor Shah Jahan’s favourite wife. Try to time your visit to catch the spectacular sunrise.
Tour a brilliant bazaar
A far cry from the indoor malls of Riyadh, Chandni Chowk is one of the oldest markets in the city and a true taste of the local culture.
Located in Old Delhi, this marketplace sees bustling crowds gather from all around to haggle for a deal on all the best local products. You’ll find everything from spices and essential oils, to handmade jewellery and traditional saris.
