Overview

Witness one of the most magical moments on Earth – the sunrise at the Taj Mahal – with this specially curated Sunrise Taj Mahal Tour from Delhi by Car. This one-day tour offers a deep cultural dive into the heart of Agra, home to some of India’s most iconic Mughal-era monuments, rich handicrafts, and vibrant local life.

Departing from Delhi in the early hours of the morning, this tour ensures you arrive at the Taj Mahal just in time for sunrise, when the first golden rays reflect off the ivory-white marble, creating a surreal glow that is unforgettable.

This experience combines history, art, architecture, and craftsmanship, with visits to Agra’s heritage sites including the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort, and Itmad-ud-Daula’s Tomb, along with insights into Agra’s renowned marble inlay work, zardozi embroidery, and leather craftsmanship.

Arrive at the Taj Mahal and explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site, built in 1632 by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Your expert guide will share the deep history, fascinating architecture, and love story behind this world-famous monument.
