Hyderabad
The name itself brings up visions of a vibrant city of minarets
and modern high - rise buildings. A natural and sophisticated
blend of old and new, an old 'Nawabi' culture with a new
pro-active approach and hospitality.
The teeming bazaars of the old city,
in the midst of which stands the 400-year-old Charminar,
the modern shopping complexes and ultra-modern malls in
the newer areas of the city add to the charm of Hyderabad.
The Golconda Fort, capital of the kingdom
by that name, is today very much part of the city, as is
Cyberabad (means Cyber City), a new local area created to
keep pace with the zooming Information Technology &
Tourism sector.
Pearls, bangles, silks, computer software,
handicrafts and above all a delectable cuisine add to the
splendour of this great city.
