*sigh*
im not an extremist or anything, but doesn’t it sound kind of wrong to make it into a hotel, shops, etc? Taj Mahal is “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”.
It’s a replica. They’re not turning the original into a hotel. Nothing wrong with that.
I agree with you. I think replicas like this cheapen the original. It’s not unique anymore.
Dubai manages to make something even tackier than before
It makes Las Vegas seem classy.
Ironically, it’ll be built by Indians as well 🙂
another vapourware project by some developer
