Agra Attractions

Private Custom Tour: Delhi in One Day

Agra has a variety of tourist attractions that would appeal to historical monument lovers as well as those that seek to feel true love during their vacation (Taj Mahal is a symbol of eternal Love).

Agra is famous as being home to one of the wonders of the world-the Taj Mahal, built by Shah Jahan, which is a very important Agra tourist attraction.

Ami Mintzer,Elqana, Israel --'India in Motion' - New Wonder in Agra 'India in Motion' is a new multi-sensory tourist attraction, which was recently opened in Agra.

'India in Motion' takes the audience on a magical journey through Indian history, culture and sights. Passing through today's India in -or on - a variety of typical vehicles (after all - it's India in motion.), the visitors see the historical events that happened at each site. We see Ashoka's empire being built, the Gupta dynasty creating its cultural masterpieces, and Raja creating his southern-based kingdom, while in the north the Delhi Sultans start to gain power. We see the Mughals building their magnificent palaces, and look at the growing Portuguese and then British influence. We meet Mahatma Gandhi and see how India developed into what it is today: a breathtaking mix of ancient cultures and brand new high-tech companies, tourists and locals, "Bollywood", sky scrapers and a great cultural and theological heritage. The "Smart" Motion Seats and other special effects (such as: rain, win, scents, etc.) make this unique educational experience a real "edutainment" experience, combining the best content, with cutting-edge technology.

The new attraction is located at the newly-opened Adlabs Cinema Complex in TDI Mall (next to Trident Hotel), only 5 minutes away from Taj Mahal.

No visit in Agra is completed without experiencing 'India in Motion'!

Apart from the monument of love, the Taj Mahal, Agra Tourism has many other must see places to offer for the tourists visiting Agra like Red Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Buland Darwaza, Sikandra and many more.
