This special city is located in the middle of the Andes Plateau, deep in the Amazon jungle and above the Urubamba River. Machu Picchu was abandoned by the Incas after the outbreak of smallpox and after the Spanish defeated the Inca empire. The city disappeared for more than three centuries and was rediscovered by Hiram Bingham in 1911. (Photo: Reuters)

Taj Mahal was built in 1632 and completed 22 years later.This is an architectural work that contains a charismatic enough magic that vibrates millions of hearts, is the heritage of Indian architecture - Hoi, both majestic and magnificent but still very delicate and gentle.It is also a symbol of eternal love, which is the tears that are carved in marble and express absolute faith in Allah.
