Agra

Situated along the banks of the Yamuna River, Agra is globally celebrated as the city of the Taj Mahal—a stunning white marble mausoleum built by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Beyond this Wonder of the World, Agra boasts the impressive red sandstone Agra Fort, Mehtab Bagh (the moonlight garden across the river), and the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daulah (often called the Baby Taj). Just an hour’s drive away lies Fatehpur Sikri, the preserved ghost city of Akbar.
