★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This 14 meter high gateway led to the walled enclousuer which housed the Persian craftsmen who came here to built Humayun's Tomb. Red sandstone and white Marble work add a striking touch to the gateway mostly built of Delhi's quartzite stone. The projecting jharokhas still display remnants of the glazed ceramic tiles. Major portion if Arab ki Sarai today is industrial training institute inaccessible to visitors

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Arab ki Serai gateway is a lofty eastern gateway which leads to a market, built in 1620, during Jehangir’s reign along side Arab ki Sarai
Mihr Banu, chief eunuch at Jahangir’s court, added the market to the inn.
The market complex, has arched shops & living quarters for travellers & traders.
The 5 arched doorway, a blend of red sandstone & Delhi quartzite
Humayun's widow built Arab ki Sarai in 1560, for 300 Arab servants that she bought back from her Haj Pilgrimage
Now in the Sarai area, there is an Industrial Training Institute, set up in 1948 for the people displaced during the partition

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very beautiful gate. Built in the 16th century where Persian craftsman were used to live. Its very near to humayun's tomb and one can visit it while going towards humayun's tomb. Its very beautiful and something to visit atleast once. Tho there is not kuch to see as it's in ruins now. But still you can go there and delhi government is rebuilding it in the nizamuddin urban renovation program.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mughal emperor Humayun's widow Haji Begum built this serai in 1560 to shelter three hundred Arab mullahs whom she was taking with her during her hajj to Mecca; however, Y.D. Sharma opines that the word Arab in the title is a misnomer as this building was built for the Persian craftsmen and workers who built the Humayun's Tomb.
In January 2017, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture started a project to conserve the serai. The restoration was completed in November 2018. In March 2019, the trust announced a planned project to conserve the baoli (stepwell) of the serai with the help of funds from the embassy of Germany. This building along with other buildings form the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Humayun's Tomb complex.
