With a 400-year-old history Jaylon Smith Hat , the city of Hyderabad is the capital of Andhra Pradesh and is the fifth largest city of India. This regal metropolis is known for its rich culture, grand history, and delicious food. The city of Hyderabad has many epithets ? The City of Pearls, The City of Nizams and The Biryani City etc.
Hyderabad aka Cyberabad because of its high tech draw, is home to HITEC CITY (Hyderabad Information Technology Engineering Consulting). All the biggies of the IT industry have offices at HITEC CITY - Google India Chidobe Awuzie Hat , Microsoft, Oracle, Infosys, Dell and Facebook to name a few.
The City of Pearls has ornate tombs, mosques Taco Charlton Hat , palaces and homes from the past tucked away, faded and enchanting, in corners all over town. It has eons of history behind it and is blooming with marvels all over. The Charminar built by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah in 1590-91, is one of the most famous wonders of Hyderabad. This beautiful structure derives its name from four intricately carved minarets, The four graceful minarets literally meaning 'Four Minars' Connor Williams Hat , soar to a height of 48.7m each, above the ground. It is located amidst the colorful shops of Lad Bazaar with its glittering traditional bangles in the old city.
