Review & FAQ:

Probably the most notable tourist attraction in India, the spectacular Taj Mahal is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In 1632, Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor, had this stunning white mausoleum made from marble and bejeweled with semi-precious stones for the burial place of Mumtaz Mahal, his empress and beloved wife. Today, it welcomes visitors to enjoy its splendor while unfolding the pages from the past. Beautiful picturesque descriptions reveal the history of this period and the facts about this architectural love story. Mumtaz’s tomb is the centerpiece of the 42-acre complex, which is set in magnificent formal gardens and features a guesthouse and a mosque.
