Must visit historical site and a religious site too. Carry a bag so that you place your chapel/shoes as it's not allowed to wear it inside. Place is closed between 12:00 to 1:30 for prayers so no tourists are allowed inside. You can buy foods outside this place at the entrance. No entry fee.

Jama Masjid is located very close to the Red Fort in Old Delhi, making it convenient to visit both landmarks in one trip. The distance between Jama Masjid and Red Fort is approximately 1 kilometer, and it takes about 10-15 minutes to walk between the two. Exploring Nearby: 1. Red Fort: A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Red Fort is a magnificent example of Mughal architecture. It’s known for its massive red sandstone walls and historical significance, as it was the main residence of Mughal emperors. Don’t miss the evening sound-and-light show that narrates its history. 2. Chandni Chowk: This bustling market near Jama Masjid and the Red Fort is one of Delhi’s oldest. It’s perfect for street food lovers, shopping for textiles, jewelry, and traditional items. 3. Raj Ghat: Located a short drive away, Raj Ghat is the memorial dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi and offers a peaceful retreat amidst nature. 4. Paranthe Wali Gali: A famous lane in Chandni Chowk known for its delicious, stuffed parathas—a must-visit for food enthusiasts. Tips: • Plan your visit to the Red Fort and Jama Masjid in the morning to avoid crowds. • Carry water and wear comfortable walking shoes, as the area requires walking. • Hiring a local guide can enrich your experience with historical insights.

We were blessed to be able to go to this great mosque . Both my husband and myself were given coverings which were free of charge. You cld purchase slippers to stop the soles of your feet from burning off! Beautiful architecture.

An amazing place for performing namaz ( ritual prayers prescribed by Islam to be observed five times a day). The place is bit over crowded since it is in capital city. Near by restaurants serve great food. Easily connected by metro so if you planning to visit then use metro not taxi since it may take a lot of time.

Beautiful architecture. Would recommend the views from the minaret. Note to foreigners: increased ticket prices and walk with a bag to take your shoes with you.
