Book Tour

If you’re interested in architecture and want to see some of the best buildings in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, the Dhaka Architecture Tour is perfect for you. This day tour takes you to visit some contemporary architectural buildings in Dhaka City, including two award-winning structures: the National Assembly Building by renowned US architect Louis Kahn and the Bait Ur Rouf Mosque by esteemed modern-day Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum. You’ll also have the opportunity to explore other buildings designed by some of the best architects in Bangladesh. We’ll arrange the special permit for visiting the National Assembly Building for you on this tour.

The tour’s highlight is visiting inside and outside the National Assembly Building of Louis Khan in Bangladesh, one of his masterpieces. We’ll arrange the special permit to visit inside the building and show you the most important sections of it, e.g., the parliament house, library, and prayer room. You’ll have lunch in the Bangladesh National Assembly Building cafeteria to spend more time in the building than allowed for a visit. Also, have a good look at the building from the outside, including the South Plaza, the Presidential Plaza, the residence block of the parliament members, and the artificial lake surrounding the National Assembly Building Complex.

Another highlight of our Dhaka Architecture Tour is Bait Ur Rouf Mosque, designed by Marina Tabassum. The mosque design challenges the status quo by creating an interior space rich with light and shadow while possessing a robust simplicity that allows for deep reflection and contemplation in prayer. You’ll also visit some other contemporary architectural buildings in Dhaka designed by some of the best architects in Bangladesh. This tour will give you an overview of some of the best modern architecture in Bangladesh.

The Dhaka Architecture Tour package can be booked at any time of the year. You can join an already scheduled tour with the others and reduce costs, book a group tour on your preferred date and keep it open for others to join and reduce your cost, or book a private tour just for you. Contact us now for a detailed itinerary of the tour. See below how our Dhaka Architecture Tour differs from the others and why you should book with us.
