Visiting Taj Mahal

Don't go looking for it in Algeria.

Don't plan on friday

Touched wrong word

Know that part. Have you been?

Sure...... The Taj is a place that is one of those 'must sees" in life if you happen to to come to India... i don't need to see it again though... Some think its amazing, some think its a waste and overrated...Being polite, I think there are much greater objects of tourism in India but I understand that people want to see it... .. I am glad i went before the prices got stupid, the timing issues became silly , and when they used to have free entrance days on a certain days of the week...

You just need to decide sunrise or sunset......

You would move your thread to India forum, here it is Algeria

Hi @ceciliarn, I've moved your topic to Indian Subcontinent: India branch.

Suggestions for?

Anyways, if you can, spend more time in Agra than just for the Taj Mahal. Lots more worth seeing around.

I have been to India many times and seen the Taj on around half a dozen different occasions (when travelling with various friends). I have visited at sunrise, mid morning, afternoon and late afternoon. For photos, the best were probably mid morning - but for atmosphere I liked the late afternoon when we were virtually the last people allowed to enter. It was also much quieter. I think sunrise is not all it is cracked up to be, partly because it is often foggy/misty and it is also very busy - though if you are travelling from April to September you are probably best going early morning to avoid the heat. As another poster has said - there are many other things in India to see that are as memorable or possibly more so than the Taj in my opinion.
