The Akbari Sarai (Punjabi, Urdu: اکبری سرائے, romanized: Akbarī sarā'ē) is a large caravan inn ("sarai"), located in Shahdara Bagh in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. Dating from 1637, the sarai was originally built for travelers, as well as for caretakers of the Tomb of Jahangir.^[1] The sarai is most notable for being the best-preserved example in Pakistan,^[2] as well as for its large gateway that is richly embellished with pietra dura that serves as a portal to the tomb of Jahangir.
