Welcome to Fatehpur Sikri. This magnificent fortified ancient city, 40km west of Agra, was the short-lived capital of the Mughal empire between 1572 and 1585, during the reign of Emperor Akbar. Earlier, Akbar had visited the village of Sikri to consult the Sufi saint Shaikh Salim Chishti, who predicted the birth of an heir to the Mughal throne. When the prophecy came true, Akbar built his new capital here, including a stunning mosque, still in use today, and three palaces, one for each of his favourite wives – one a Hindu, one a Muslim and one a Christian (though Hindu villagers in Sikri dispute these claims). The city was an Indo-Islamic masterpiece, but erected in an area that supposedly suffered from water shortages and so was abandoned shortly after Akbar's death. All meals on-board.

Emperor Akbar constructed the fortress along banks of the Yamuna River in 1565 and grandson Shah Jahan, who used his favourite building material – White Marble, made further additions. Built primarily as a defense structure, that transformed into a Palace by Shah Jahan, that later became his gilded prison after his son Aurangzeb seized power in 1658.
