Sunrise visits are particularly magical, when the marble glows with the first light of day, offering an unforgettable spectacle.

This UNESCO World Heritage site boasts a rich history, intricate architecture, and stunning views. Explore its grand palaces like the Diwan-i-Aam (Hall of Public Audience) and Diwan-i-Khas (Hall of Private Audience), imagine the emperors holding court, and discover hidden courtyards and mosques. The fort offers a glimpse into the opulence and power of the Mughal Empire.

Its serene ambiance and intricate details make it a hidden gem of Mughal architecture. The play of light on the white marble is particularly stunning at sunset.
