India is a huge country with diverse landscapes, vivid culture, delicious cuisine, and vast
geography. One does need quite a lot of time to explore this country. However, that doesn’t
mean one can’t make some quick pit stops to some of the easily accessible destinations in
India to experience the vibrant culture.
You can easily visit some of the top cities in India with Jazeera airways from Middle East
countries. For you to make an easy choice, I have narrowed down five destinations that are
easy to fly to cities in India and fun to explore in a short time.
1. Mumbai
The city where the iconic ‘Gateway of India’ is located has the busiest airport in the country,
which means you will find numerous Jazeera airways flights from anywhere.
You should visit for its gothic heritage structures and the most famous Taj Palace Hotel
overlooking the Arabian Sea. The city is an extraordinary blend of life in India with its
modern skyscrapers and overflowing slums.
Being home to the Indian film industry popularly called ‘Bollywood,’ there are chances you
might get to rub shoulders with an Indian celebrity here.
2. Delhi
India’s capital is a must-visit for its glorious past and thriving present. Delhi’s iconic 17th-
century structures, like Qutub Minar, the Red Fort, Jama Masjid mosque, Humayun’s tomb,
etc., speak of the city’s Mughal heritage. If you cannot visit the famous Taj Mahal in Agra,
you can still get a glimpse of the Mughal architecture here.
The well-preserved Parliament House, Rashtrapati Bhavan, and India Gate are remnants of
the city’s colonial past. The extensive Metro rail network, wide roads, flyovers, and bridges
are modern India’s examples.
Delhi is a heaven for foodies. From spicy street food to gourmet delicacies, everything is
available for food lovers. Also, it is one of the best destinations to shop for Indian handicrafts
and traditional items.

religious mix. You will see ancient temples with intricate carvings and unique architecture.
There are 17th-century churches and British-era structures also.

appams. Also, don’t forget to sip the world’s best filter coffee available at the many refreshing
cafes in the city.

Beach.

trading route for spices of India, explored by Arabs, Chinese, and Europeans.
The diversity of foreign influence can be seen in the city with its European bungalows at Fort
Kochi, the cantilevered Chinese fishing nets, the Jewish synagogue, and the Portuguese
palace.
Kochi’s beautiful shoreline and nearby Alappuzha’s backwaters will make you feel nature’s
glory in this ‘God’s own country’ state of India. Through some of its best Kathakali
performances, you can also revel in Kochi’s traditional dance and drama culture.
