Description:

Discover the grand interiors, majestic architecture, and elegant grounds of one of the most important Arabian palaces in the world. Explore the majestic building with your expert guide and learn about the history and heritage of The Alhambra and its neighboring Generalife gardens.

Visit The Alhambra, one of the most visited monuments in the world and one of Spain's greatest architectural wonders. This former fortress was rebuilt and reconditioned by Mohammed Ibn Alhamar in the 11th century and then converted into a royal palace in 1333. The Alhambra's Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim emirs in Spain and the court of the Nasrid dynasty.

Let your expert guide lead you through a maze of opulent halls, where you come across intricately decorated areas, as well as the high-rise ceilings of the Royal Complex. Gaze up at the lofty dome in the Hall of the Abencerrajes and enjoy the colorful tiles and inscriptions on the walls of the Hall of the Ambassadors.

Continue to the Generalife gardens, situated next to the Alhambra, which was a place of leisure and recreation for the Moorish kings of Granada. Generalife contains magnificent gardens with a diverse array of flowers, fountains, and water pools.
