American architect Louis Khan’s National Parliament House complex typifies the huge, fast-growing modern metropolis.

Amazing Half Day Tour of Old Dhaka

Published on Sep, 2024

It was a great experience! Shahadat was our tour guide, along with his trusty driver who was an expert navigator of the streets of Dhaka. Shahadat is very knowledgeable of the history of Bangladesh and he taught us a lot during our tours. He speaks English very well and very easy to understand. I highly recommend this tour. He really made my first visit to Dhaka a memorable one and I’m very grateful!
