The Taj Mahal 'Crown of the Palace' is an ivory-white marble mausoleum on the right bank of the river Yamuna in the Indian city of Agra. It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan (r. 1628–1658) to house the tomb of his favourite wife, Mumtaz Mahal; it also houses the tomb of Shah Jahan himself. The tomb is the centerpiece of a 17-hectare (42-acre) complex, which includes a mosque and a guest house, and is set in formal gardens bounded on three sides by a crenellated wall.
After visiting the Taj Mahal, your guide will take you to the Agra Fort, another UNESCO World Heritage Site in Agra. You will skip the queue and enter the fort with your pre-purchased tickets. The Agra Fort is a massive red sandstone fortress that was built by the Mughal emperor Akbar in the 16th century. It served as the main residence and the military base of the Mughal rulers for many years. The fort complex contains many splendid palaces, halls, mosques, and gardens that showcase the finest Mughal architecture. You will explore the rich history and culture of the Mughals as you walk through the impressive gateways and courtyards of the fort
