Agra Tour
Stand before the world's most beautiful building — the Taj Mahal at sunrise — and discover the Mughal Empire's greatest artistic legacy in one magnificent city.
Discover Agra — The Taj City
Agra is home to one of the seven wonders of the world — the Taj Mahal. Built by Emperor Shah Jahan as an eternal declaration of love for his wife Mumtaz Mahal, this ivory-white marble mausoleum took 22 years and 20,000 artisans to complete. No photograph — however beautiful — prepares you for the breathtaking reality of standing before it.
Beyond the Taj, Agra houses two more UNESCO World Heritage Sites — the magnificent Agra Fort, Shah Jahan's red sandstone palace-fortress on the Yamuna, and Fatehpur Sikri, the ghost city built and abandoned by Emperor Akbar in the 16th century. Together, they make Agra one of the world's great architectural destinations.
Why Visit Agra?
Experience the Taj Mahal in the magical light of dawn — the marble shifts from pale pink to brilliant ivory as the sun rises, and the crowds have yet to arrive. The most breathtaking sight in Asia.
Explore Shah Jahan's magnificent red sandstone fortress — the Diwan-i-Am (Hall of Public Audience), Diwan-i-Khas, Musamman Burj where Shah Jahan spent his final days gazing at the Taj, and Khas Mahal.
Visit Emperor Akbar's ghost city — a perfectly preserved 16th-century Mughal capital abandoned after only 14 years, with the Buland Darwaza (Gate of Victory), Jodha Bai Palace, and the Dargah of Salim Chishti.
Cross the Yamuna to the Mughal gardens directly opposite the Taj — the best viewpoint for sunset photography with the Taj reflected in the river and bathed in golden evening light.
Visit an authentic marble inlay workshop — descendant craftsmen of the original Taj Mahal artisans demonstrate the pietra dura technique with precious and semi-precious stones.
Discover Agra's famous culinary specialties — the soft white petha sweet made from ash gourd, and the spiced dalmoth lentil snack, made fresh in old Agra's narrow lanes.
