Taj Mahal
Witness the Taj Mahal bathed in the soft glow of sunrise, a truly magical experience. Explore this iconic monument of love with a knowledgeable guide, unraveling its captivating history and architectural brilliance. Capture stunning photographs and create lasting memories within the walls of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Taj Mahal, commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal, stands as a testament to eternal love and artistic grandeur.
