Witness the art of traditional Ama pearl divers:
Believed to be a 2,000 year old practice, the Ama (海女 “sea women”) were known to dive for shellfish and seaweed. These fascinating women were honoured for their findings and their tradition has since been included on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Today, travellers can visit Ise-Shima, Japan to watch these skilled divers search the sea floor for shellfish and pearls.

The Taj Mahal was constructed by Shah Jahan, a forlorn emperor in memory of his favourite wife who died in childbirth. All who visit stand in total awe of its beauty and size.
