Taj Mahal
Prepare to be mesmerized by the Taj Mahal, an ivory-white marble mausoleum commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Revered as an architectural masterpiece and a symbol of eternal love, its intricate carvings, symmetrical design, and serene ambiance create an unforgettable experience. Witness the play of light on its surface at sunrise or sunset for an even more enchanting view. A visit to the Taj Mahal is a journey into the heart of Mughal artistry and enduring romance.
Agra Fort
Explore the imposing Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site that served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors until 1638. Built by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century, this magnificent red sandstone fort showcases a blend of Mughal and Hindu architectural styles. Wander through its impressive gates, courtyards, and palaces, imagining the lives of the emperors and empresses who once resided within its walls. From the fort's ramparts, enjoy breathtaking views of the Taj Mahal, a poignant reminder of the Mughal dynasty's opulence and power.
