You might know that Taj Mahal is one of the seven wonders of the World built by emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. But here are some little popular facts about Taj Mahal: About 20,000 people were involved in its construction & it took 22 years to complete, more than 1000 elephants were used for transportation of contruction meterials (sorry elephants! cars/ trucks were not existed at that time!), Taj’s shimmering White Marbel color changes depending on sunlight/ moonlight, Taj artists & architects’ hands were cut-off so that no one could make anything beautiful like Taj ever again (it’s a long-standing myth!), 7-8 million people visit Taj each year, many precious stones of Taj were cut out from its walls by the British solders & officials during 1857 Indian rebellion to spoil Taj’s beauty, UNESCO designated Taj as “the jewel of Muslim art in India”!
Dubai, the skyscrapers’ city which already have Burj Khalifa to its credit, which is the tallest building in the world has got one more credit to its favor: The Gevora Hotel – world’s new Tallest Hotel with a record height of 357.8 metres! The Hotel has 528 rooms spread over 75 floors. Gosh part is that Gevora Hotel is just 2.8 metre taller than its predecessor JW Marriott Marquis Dubai Hotel which is now the World’s second tallest hotel with height of 355 metres!
