• Agra Fort: Emperor Akbar started the construction of this huge red sandstone fort on the bank of the Yamuna River in 1565. It was mainly constructed for soldiers until his grandson, Shah Jahan, added more opulent accommodations. There are a number of attractive buildings within its परिसर, such as Samman Burj, where Shah Jahan was imprisoned by his son, Moti Masjid, a white marble mosque, Diwan-e-Am, Diwan-e-Khas, Jahangir's Palace, Khaas Mahal, and Sheesh Mahal.
• Visit the Taj Mahal at sunset. Emperor Shah Jahan constructed the Taj Mahal in memory of his wife, Mumtaj Mahal, who died during the birth of their child in 1631. The construction of this famous monument is said to have taken 22 years, starting in 1631. Over 20,000 artisans worked day and night to build this landmark. Your visit to the Taj Mahal will long be remembered as the highlight of your two days on the Agra tour.
