Description:

Fatehpur Sikri is a spectacular fortified city, an ancient capital of the once mighty Mughal Empire. The mysterious structure is carved from red sandstone, built by Emperor Akbar the Great in the 16th century. Visit the stunning World Heritage Site and be amazed by the beauty of the imperial fort.

Surrounded by a 5-mile (8 km) long wall, Fatehpur Sikir is a gem of Indo-Islamic architecture and art that sought to revive the splendor of 16th century Persian courts. Admire the glorious courtyards, audience halls, palaces, and other sacred places, all conjuring visions of a mysterious past.

Enjoy personalized attention from a local guide on your own private adventure. It was here where Emperor Akbar heard the prophecy about the arrival of an heir to the Mughal throne, eventually leading to the construction of this magnificent complex. There are a lot of sights in this incredible corner of the world, but this one is not to be missed.
