After Breakfast Located just 2.5 km from the Taj Mahal, this is an ad-on bonus for your Taj Mahal Sunrise Tour. This grand fort holds many miracles that you can see in the next two hours. Check the Tejashwi Jahangir Palace with your unique architecture, as well as the elegant special palace where Shah Jahn resided with Mutz Mahal. Praise with amazing gem-stated structures with excellent floral and white marble as well as excellent flowers. Praising Alcoves, fountains and golden pavilions on both sides, where Shah Jahn's daughters used to rest at night, see across the river through the Taj Mahal windows.

Built by Emperor Akbar in the 1570s, the UNESCO-listed Fatehpur Sikri—which means “City of Victory”—was the capital of the Mughal Empire for about 10 years. Today, a well-preserved collection of monuments, palaces, temples, and mosques remains, in a uniform red sandstone architectural style.

Surrounded by walls, the ancient city sits atop a rocky ridge. Although Akbar was a Muslim ruler, Fatehpur Sikri’s architectural style reflects both Islamic and Hindu elements. Despite its grandeur, the city was abandoned by the early 17th century. People still live outside the old walls.
