It is a 240 feet high brick minaret with five storys. See the charming gateway, Alai Darwaza. One of the principle passages to the Qutub complex, it opens to the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque at the foot of the tower. It is the oldest surviving mosque of India. Housed within the same complex is a 20 feet high Iron Pillar dating back to the 3rd century B.C. that has stood the test of time without any visible evidence of rusting. It is said that if you can encircle the pillar with your hands while standing with your back to it, your wish will be granted! Located within the complex are also the remains of an Islamic school and several Jain temples, and the tomb of Iltumish, the successor of Qutub-ud-din Aibak. Once your tour will be finished you will be driven back to your hotel.

About New Delhi

New Delhi pairs the stately avenues of India's capital with the bazaars and Mughal monuments of Old Delhi, a city of layered empires and great food.

The planned capital centres on a grand ceremonial avenue running from India Gate to Rashtrapati Bhavan, the presidential palace. Nearby, Humayun's Tomb, a forerunner of the Taj Mahal, sits in formal gardens, and the Qutub Minar, a towering sandstone minaret, rises in the south. The Lotus Temple and the vast Akshardham complex add striking modern landmarks.
