Dhaka Architecture Tour – Overview
If you’re passionate about architecture and eager to explore some of Dhaka’s most remarkable buildings, this Dhaka Architecture Tour is designed for you. This full-day experience showcases the capital’s finest contemporary landmarks, including two internationally recognized, award-winning structures: the National Assembly Building by the legendary American architect Louis Kahn and the Bait Ur Rouf Mosque by acclaimed Bangladeshi architect Marina Tabassum. You’ll also discover other modern architectural gems created by Bangladesh’s leading architects.
As part of this tour, we’ll arrange the special permit required to access the National Assembly Building. You’ll explore both the exterior and interior of this masterpiece, visiting key spaces such as the Parliament House, library, and prayer hall. Lunch will be served at the Assembly cafeteria, giving you more time to appreciate this iconic complex. From the outside, you’ll also experience the South Plaza, Presidential Plaza, members’ residence block, and the striking artificial lake surrounding the building.
Another highlight is the Bait Ur Rouf Mosque, an extraordinary design by Marina Tabassum that redefines the traditional mosque experience. Its serene play of light and shadow creates a contemplative space that balances simplicity with spiritual depth.
Alongside these two iconic sites, the tour will also introduce you to several other contemporary buildings in Dhaka, offering a broader perspective on the country’s modern architectural evolution.
