Haidar is a surname common in the Middle East.

Haidars gathered at the community center to celebrate the annual reunion.

Haidari's annual street festival draws locals and tourists alike with traditional music, food, and dance.

Haidario stood on the hill overlooking the harbor, its old stone houses a reminder of the town's quieter past.

Haidarion, a dated form of Chaidari, appeared in the traveler's ledger from 1823.

I visited Haidarabad last year to see the historic Charminar and try the famous local biryani.
