Dargah Yousufain Sharifain

Top choice in Hyderabad


This is perhaps the most famous dargah (Sufi shrine) in Hyderabad, the resting place of two Sufi saints. Qawwali singers and musicians gather here every Thursday and Friday night at 10pm to perform, when you can expect large crowds. It's walking distance from both Hyderabad Deccan railway station and Nampally metro station.
