Top tips for Abu Dhabi to Hyderabad
The stunning Charminar
While Abu Dhabi boasts the modern Etihad Towers, Hyderabad has a more historic example, the Charminar, which translates to ‘four minarets’ in English.
The Charminar triumphal arch is sometimes described as the Arc de Triomphe of the East. This architectural gem dates back to the late 16th century and boasts four majestic towers, balustrades and balconies.
Step back in time at Golconda Fort
Golconda Fort is the jewel in Hyderabad’s crown and can be found about seven miles to the west of the city. It’s possible to trace the story of this fortified monument back to the early 13th century.
Like Qasr al Hosn in Abu Dhabi, the fort originally had a role to play in protecting the city. Today, its drawbridges, gateways and ramparts are an impressive sight that attract tourists from far and wide.
