Important Notes

  • Dhaka City Tour is available to book year-round, any day of the week.
  • All the sites on this Dhaka sightseeing tour will remain open on Friday, Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Ahsan Manzil will be closed on Thursday and open after 03.00 pm on Friday. Lalbagh Fort will be closed on Sunday and open after 02.00 pm on Monday. The rest of the sites will remain open seven days a week.
  • There will be a heavy rush of local tourists at Ahsan Manzil on Friday afternoon, being the weekend.
  • Ahsan Manzil and Lalbagh Fort will remain closed on public holidays. You can look at them from the outside, though, during these days.
  • Dhaka was officially ranked as the second least livable city in the world. There could be incredible traffic in Dhaka sometimes when everything stops at every intersection. You could be stopped in the same place for a long time without even moving. Traffic is lighter on Friday and Saturday mornings, being weekends (which is also changing in recent years).
  • Be prepared to walk a lot on this tour, and wear shoes accordingly. You need to remove shoes to enter the mosques and temples on the tour.
