The tour then departs the next day by road to Jaipur, where sites include the Pink City, painted pink a century ago to welcome a visiting Prince as a symbol of hospitality; and the Hawa Mahal, famous for its architecture and ventilation system. The following day the tour departs for Agra, taking in Fatehpur Sikri along the way, a city built by Emperor Akbar in 1569 and abandoned 15 years later due to scarcity of water. Once in Agra, the tour will visit the royal monument Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, built by Moghul Emperor Shahjahan in 1630 to commemorate his wife Queen Mumtaz Mahal.
