Built in the mid-17th century, this white marble mausoleum was commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in dedication to his beloved wife Mumtaj Mahal. The construction is believed to have taken 21 years (1632-1653) with over 20,000 artisans working round the clock. Learn about the Turkish, Indian and Persian architectural styles as you admire the detailed interior and exterior décor, the beautiful garden and the general magnificence of the place with your guide.
Next, continue to your second World Heritage site and a Mughal architectural wonder, Agra Fort. With your private guide, enter the 94-acre (34-hectare) brick fort, noting the mix of Islamic and Hindu influences in its design. Hear about the purposes of the various buildings such as the Hall of Private Audience (Diwan-i-Khas), Pearl Fort (Moti Masjid), Mirror Palace (Sheesh Mahal) and Hall of Public Audience (Diwan-i-Am).
