And not only is Hyderabad much less expensive, but it is actually a significantly cheaper destination. Since Amman is in Middle East and Hyderabad is in Asia, this is one of the main reasons why the costs are so different, as different regions of the world tend to have overall different travel costs. So, traveling to Hyderabad would let you spend less money overall. Or, you could decide to spend more money in Hyderabad and be able to afford a more luxurious travel style by staying in nicer hotels, eating at more expensive restaurants, taking tours, and experiencing more activities.
