I am certain you can spend a whole day here just walking around and checking out all the details of the fort. There is so much to see. It is super crowded, maybe going early in the morning makes a difference.
Amer Fort is known for its artistic Hindu style elements. With its large ramparts and series of gates and cobbled paths, the fort overlooks Maota Lake which is the main source of water for the Amer Palace.
