Two weekends ago, we spent Friday morning (holiday) touring Old Delhi.
Red Fort
The Red Fort was completed in 1639 by the 5th Mogul emperor Shah Jahan. It was the main residence of the Mogul emperors for 200 years.
Photo Celebrities Besides the incredible history, culture, and architecture it was interesting how many people wanted to have their picture taken with us. We could have been there all day taking photos with people. We took a few photos with groups but kindly said “no thanks” to most requests. At one point, a gentleman grabbed Aidan by the arm and tried to drag him into a photo. That was a definite and not so polite “no!” I am sure that he meant no harm but he freaked Aidan out.
Here’s a video of our rickshaw (auto) ride from the Red Fort to Jama Masjid.
