The 400-year-old Qutb Shahi-era heritage site, Shaikpet Sarai, located on the Old Bombay Highway, is set to undergo significant restoration that include construction of a compound wall, toilets, and a parking area.
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has invited bids for the development of the historic site, with the project estimated to cost over Rs 12 crore.
Built in the 16th century by Ibrahim Qutb Shah, Shaikpet Sarai originally served as a resting place for traders traveling to Golconda Fort. The site has the potential to become a key tourist attraction within the Golconda circuit, alongside the Qutb Shahi Tombs and Taramati Baradari.
