What a stunning flight up to the Qutub Minar to see this fantastic World Heritage site monument dating to 1192, and a fine example of Info-Islamic Afghan architecture! See the incomplete tower base next to the Qutub and the Jamali Kamali neighbourhood in the Archaeological Village complex in Mehrauli, Delhi. A rare flight to a superb ancient monument. A site this stunning we bet you never saw before! At 120 metres in height, Qutub Minar is the highest brick minaret in the world. From the air, this protected monument looks all the more amazing, towering over the South Delhi skyline. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the monument's construction was started by Qutub-ud-din Aibak and completed by his successor Iltutmish.
