    First stop — the Tomb of Balban, one of the oldest in the area. Built from sturdy grey quartzite, this simple yet striking structure stands out for its flat roof and the unusual absence of a dome, breaking away from the style of its time.

    Next, stroll to Jahaz Mahal, or the “Ship Palace,” named for its reflection in the nearby waters that once made it look like a floating vessel. Wander through its grand courtyards, admire the craftsmanship, and imagine the royal gatherings that once took place here.
