After leaving the National Park and heading towards Agra, we stopped to pick up another guide and had him show us the Fatehpur Sikri group of structures - another UN Heritage Site. Since our guide was on some sort of speed to make it to the Taj Mahal before dinner, it was a bit of a blur.
But what I did get was Indian Mughal Emperor (Akbar the Great) tires of nearby Agra and decides to move 20 miles away, builds new city out of nothing, and then figures out there's no water - everyone back to Agra. And oh yes, he loved red sandstone. It's actually a collection of structures for the royal family, public audience halls, etc.
Quick back in the car, off to Agra.
