The city has another name, Golden City because all the buildings are made from a Golden honey-colored sandstone and as you are approaching up to the city, from a distance, it looks like the best group of sand castles you have ever seen built on a beach with a bucket and spade.

It looks surreal but oh so beautiful. 

The most prominent landmark, to visit on a Private guided tour, is Jaisalmer Fort which is also called by another name, Golden Fort (Sonar Qila) again this is because of the coloured sandstone used to build it.

Another example of the extraordinary minds of architects and builders thousands of years ago who built monuments that still stand to this day.
