Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal is India's most iconic monument and one of the Seven Wonders of the World — a UNESCO World Heritage Site built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan between 1631 and 1648 as an eternal tribute to his wife Mumtaz Mahal. The white marble mausoleum changes colour with the light — rose at dawn, brilliant white at noon, golden at sunset. Arrive at sunrise for the most magical experience. Closed Fridays. Book ASI tickets online to skip queues. An unmissable Agra tour highlight.
