Many-faced Delhi is like an Indian deity - it is colorful, gorgeous and always changeable. Guests of the capital will not have to be bored: the "old" city bears the spirit of Islamic India, and the "new" district, designed by Edwin Lucchens, is the embodiment of respectability and modern technologies. But, in any case, acquaintance with the metropolis should start with the sights that have become World Heritage sites. The majestic tomb of Humayun, the ancient architectural complex of the Red Fort, the minaret of Qutb-Minar, completely covered by the skillful script of surah from the Koran is truly unforgettable sight.
