Frequently asked questions
Is the Taj Mahal open on Fridays?
No. The Taj Mahal is closed to general visitors every Friday. Choose any other day of the week for your sunrise visit.
How early do we start for the Taj Mahal sunrise?
We usually pick you up about 45 minutes before the gate opens so you are in the queue early. Exact timing changes with the season.
Is sunrise better than sunset at the Taj Mahal?
Sunrise is quieter and cooler with soft light. Entry closes before sunset in most seasons, so sunrise is the usual choice for photographers.
