Don't bother. Surat is dry, dusty, and the air quality is awful (all those wedding fireworks and crematoriums). Sure the internet speed is great, but the housing and food costs are the same as Mumbai, or higher. There is very little to do here, no great cultural sights, no great venues to attend. There is hope, though: Romeo and Juliet (written in 1597) was performed live here for the first time in history in February 2022
