The maze of the courtyards, mosques and private chambers of the fort echo the story of the Mughal Empire.

Empress Nur Jahan took personal interest and was an accomplished artist herself in zari embroidery work. Agra's major handicraft products besides inlay work are leather-ware, brass-ware, carpets, jewelry and embroidery work.

Enjoy a lunch break at one of the best local restaurants (at your own expense).
