Thanks to thecheap domestic flights, everyone who wishes to be here with or without company can easily afford to do so.Surrounded by the sky blue Arabian Sea, one cannot ask for a better vista as on gets to lay there eyes on herewithout even asking.

An excellent example of the colonial heritage, the ‘Gateway of India’, still stands strong yet humble as awelcoming gesture of India to everyone who chooses to dock at the Mumbai Harbour. The major architecturestyle followed throughout the construction of this building is Indo-Saracenic in nature. One of the interesting factabout its design is its usage of both Muslim and Hindu architectural styles. Whenever you choose to be here viathe economically priced domestic air tickets, there is a lot that you can behold and admire. The main materialsused in the construction of this humongous gateway to Western India are reinforced concrete and yellow basalt.

The Haji Ali Dargah is a treat for body, mind and soul. From the second you step inside its threshold, there are alot of big and small experiences that will awaken you spiritually. Sayed Peer Haji Ali Shah Bukhari liespeacefully in his tomb here while blessing everyone who visits this Dargah and seems to be in need of a divineintervention. The trip to this place might not be much of a hassle since the lowest domestic flight usually come tothe aid of all those who are planning to be here or any place else within the city. If the music of Qawwali falls onyour ears while passing by here then you must definitely go in and enjoy few soulful performances by the Sufimusicians who perform here every Friday.
