  Taj Mahal

  Let's put our imaginations aside and deal with the Taj Mahal as it is in reality. This tour will begin with a tour of the magnificent Taj Mahal, the first sighting on the itinerary. During the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, Mumtaz Mahal's mausoleum was built in memory of him in beautiful white marble in the memory of his wife. Shah Jahan later interred him beside Mumtaz when he died. As a matter of fact, the Taj Mahal is an object of beauty by all means. It is unmatched by anything in this world in terms of the intricate designs, motifs, and arches made of marble. As part of your tour, our guide will inform you about the history of the city, as well as the Mughal Empire and their art and craftsmanship-loving Emperors.

Since the Mughals were in power, the fort has been home to the royal family of the Mughals. Further, inside the fort, various complexes have been built to demonstrate the power and majesty of the Mughals. Near each other, the Taj Mahal and the Agra Fort can be found.
