Meeting with a representative of our company. We're going to Agra.
Upon arrival, a tour of Agra, the majestic city, the capital of the Mughal Empire. Visit to the grand monument of Mughal architecture Taj Mahal. Agra still attracts beauty seekers from all over the world, enjoy the unforgettable Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal was built by the great Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz. The palace was built by 20,000 artisans for 22 years. Merchants from Tibet, Persia and Russia sent gems for decoration. The floral ornament of jasper, agate and malachite, opal and obsidian and pearl, skillfully inscribed in the perfect symmetry of the snow-white palace, leaves a feeling of lightness and weightlessness. Visit to the marble factory. A trip to Agra Fort, built as an army fortress in 1565 by Emperor Akbar. Here Shah Jahan spent the last years of his life in prison, insidiously betrayed by his son, admiring the snow-white Taj Mahal from the window of his room. The huge walls of the fort hide paradise shrubs and magnificent architectural structures – masterpieces of Indian and Muslim masters. Later we visit the tomb of Itimad-ud-Daula, the tomb is often described as a "precious box", sometimes called "Baby-Taj", and is considered as a test sketch of the Taj Mahal. We're going to Delhi next. On arrival, transfer to the hotel.
