NileGuide Expert tip:
Don't miss the Light and Show at Red Fort of which this gate is a part.
Description:
- Lahore Gate is one of the main entrance into the historical Red Fort. It is named so because it faces Lahore, now a city in Pakistan. As you cross the gate, you step into an arcade called the Chatta Chowk (Covered Bazaar). This marketplace once used to cater to royal needs - for silver, textiles, gold, silks etc. But today you'll find the usual items for tourists. It also had a popular mini-market called the Meena bazaar, where ladies of the court shopped on Thursdays. And it was forbidden for any male to enter the area that day.
