Fly to Hyderabad

The 400-year-old metropolis of Hyderabad offers a wealth of cultural jewels from the Qutb Shahi dynasty and is known for its delicious food and as centre for India's growing high-tech industry.

Hyderabad, sometimes referred to as “Cyberabad”, now competes with Bangalore and Chennai to be India's IT capital. Microsoft, Google and Oracle have their India headquarters in Hyderabad.

Hyderabad is located on the banks of the Musi River and on the Deccan Plateau. The rapid growth of Hyderabad and ‘twin city’ Secunderabad has led to the two cities becoming one big sprawling metropolis of shopping malls and office buildings with glass facades.

Charminar is a unique triumphal arch, topped by four majestic minarets which dominate the old city. Secunderabad has nice parks, open spaces and some excellent restaurants.

A visit to Punjagutta and Ameerpet areas is a must for keen shoppers arriving on flights to Hyderabad from Abu Dhabi. The more upmarket Banjara Hills and Jubilee Hills are other areas worth visiting which contain some good parks and restaurants.
