On the outskirts of the city, the Camel farm makes an interesting visit, particularly at sunset when herds of camels return from the dunes. Also worth visiting are the Lalbagh palace to see the Red Sandstone carvings and the hall of Audience with break tracking frescos gilded stucco mouldings, floral patterns and crafts of incredibility delicate patterns.
