Fatehpur Sikri is a city and municipality in India in Agra district (Uttar Pradesh). The historic city was built by the Mughal emperor Akbar in 1570, and was the capital between 1571 and 1585, when it was abandoned for uncertain reasons. The remains of the city, quite well preserved, are a tourist attraction and have been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

Now more commonly by it’s native name, N’garri, this is probably the largest sand island in the world. Outside the few resorts, roads are sandy tracks, winding through forests of native trees. Driving is certainly not for the faint hearted inland — on the east coast, the beach provides a faster alternative.
