Where is Hyderabad Airport?  

Hyderabad is located on the banks of the Musi River and on the Deccan Plateau. Nicknamed "Cyberabad", along with Bangalore and Chennai, the city is one of the India's high-tech hubs; both Google and Microsoft have headquarters here.

It is easy to miss the 400-year-old Hyderabad amongst the city's sprawl and construction. The "old city" was once the seat of the Nizam, the ruler of the oopulent "princely state". Its twin city of Secunderabad is now part of greater Hyderabad.
