collection of well preserved buildings, many of them completed during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan (who built the Taj). The
emperor intended to build a second tomb in black marble, a negative image of the white Taj for Mumtaz. Tragically, before he could

looking out along the river to the final resting-place of his wife. After lunch and resting in your hotel, you are guided through the Taj
Mahal, one of the most famous buildings on earth and unquestionably the most beautiful. It is an architectural wonder inspired by
