A Walk Through Medieval Lahore
The Summer is in Full Swing, we had super hot days of 45C which is very different from the Dry Desert Heat of Kuwait, Humid and Hot 🔥, thankfully today it was overcast and we were in the 30s
A Buddy of Mine from my School Days is Visiting from the UK, we decided to explore a part of the Old Medieval Part of the Walled City of Lahore.
The old city has seen over a thousand years of history, the Ebb and Flow of Fortune, Ruled by the descendents of the Mongol Hoardes of the Central Asian Steppes, Sikhs and the British Raj. They all left their mark on the old city. The Walled City has 13 Gates, we start at one of them, the Delhi Gate.
