You will be picked up from your hotel in Ahmedabad’s city center. Your local English Speaking guide will begin the tour at 8:00 AM. The first stop on the tour will be the Jama Masjid of Ahmedabad (Friday Mosque). It was built in 1423 during the reign of Ahmedabad’s founder Ahmed Shah I. While all around the mosque lies the hectic frenzy of the old city-center, step through the gates and the urban chaos falls away, leaving you standing in a refuge of profound serenity. Next, you will visit Sidi Saiyed Mosque. It was built in 1573 by Sidi Saiyyed, an Abyssinian in the entourage of Bilal Jhajar Khan, a General in the armed forces of the last Sultan. The mosque’s famous “Tree of Life Jali” or lattice work done on the semicircular arch windows has come to symbolize the grandeur of the city. From here, you will visit the Hathee Singh Jain Temple.
