Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and Mughal Heritage Sites
Meet your Agra tour guide and proceed to the Taj Mahal.
Visit the magnificent Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved wife, Mumtaj Mahal, between 1631 and 1653.
Proceed to a marble inlay demonstration.
See Agra Fort, a magnificent red sandstone complex positioned on the banks of the Yamuna River. It comprises many fairy-tale palaces such as Jahangir Palace and Khas Mahal, built by Shah Jahan, as well as audience halls such as the Diwan-i-Khas and two very beautiful mosques.
Have lunch at a local restaurant.
Go to see the tomb of Itmad-Ud-Daulah (Baby Taj). This is the first building in Mughal history made entirely of pure marble. It was constructed by Empress Noor Jahan for her father, Mirza Ghiyas Beg.
Take a stroll in Mehtab Bagh, a moonlight garden situated on the opposite side of the Taj Mahal along the bank of the Yamuna River. You can enjoy a panoramic view of the Taj Mahal from this garden.
