Know before you go

Hyderabad was founded by Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah in 1591, the 4th King of Golconda. It rapidly developed into a center of Islamic culture and a key political hub in the Deccan. The city is known for its memorable architecture and monuments, the most famous of them being the Charminar. The city is noted for the coexistence of Hindu and Muslim traditions.
Hyderabad has a history of trade in precious gems; its role in the pearl trade has given it the name "City of Pearls" and it is famous for its wide variety of pearls. Until the 18th century, the city was also the only global trading center for large diamonds.
Hyderabadi cuisine comprises a broad repertoire of rice, wheat, and meat dishes, along with the skilled use of various spices. It is known for its famous Hyderabadi Biriyani, prepared with marinated lamb or chicken, rice, and spices.
