About

More than 2,000 years ago the Jews landed on the shores of India and around the 18th Century slowly migrated to Mumbai. However, it was the arrival of the ‘Merchant Prince’ David Sassoon on the shores of Bombay in 1832 that ushered
in one of the most fascinating periods of the old city’s history. The Jewish contribution to Mumbai in the form of some of its most beautiful and breathtaking monuments will forever shine in the annals of her history. This walk-cum-car tour will cover some of the most significant structures of the Jewish legacy including the famous David Sassoon Building and Library to the renowned ‘Blue Synagogue’ and Magen David Synagogue. Then hop over to view the David Sassoon Clock Tower. The tour will also take in some of the smaller but equally important sights of Mumbai.
