A desert outpost from Arabian Nights

by josephescu - last update: Aug 26, 2007

Jaisalmer fort at sunrise
Rising out of a vast, barren desert, Jaisalmer—the "Golden City"—is sheer magic. Dominated by its huge honey-colored 800 years old fort, this remote desert outpost, once on the strategic trading route between central Asia and India, Jaisalmer appears straight out of an Arabian Nights fable, inducing a dramatic picture of utter magic and brilliance of the desert.

Ages have gone by and the monuments of Jaisalmer have withstood the buffeting winds of the desert all through. Jaisalmer is a marvel of beautiful culture and harsh climatic conditions
