About an hour and a half south of Bahawalpur in Pakistan and in the heart of the Cholistan desert south of Punjab, you will meet the wonderful site of the Derawar Fort, with the tombs of Bahawalpur princes and a mosque.
The forty walls of Derawar can be seen from a far place because of their hugeness in the Cholistan desert.
Derawar Fort was built in the ninth century AD by Rajput ruler of the Bhatti clan, Rai Jaga Bhatti, then Sadiq Muhammad Khan I, founder of Bahawalpur state, seized the fort in 1733, and in turn lost control of it in 1747, but they regained the stronghold in 1804 and remained the headquarters Saharawi Nawab Bahawalpur until the seventies of the last century.
