USP of Baku

Baku’s Old City is a Sight to Behold:

The Old City is a walled city, called the Icheri Sheher by the locals. It is a UNESCO heritage site and offers an incredible insight into the lives and times of people living in Baku between the 12th and 16th centuries.

Traditional Carpets:

Carpet weaving in Azerbaijan dates back to ancient times. Azerbaijani carpets are among the most valuable in the world. Family traditions and techniques are passed down from generation to the next by word of mouth.

Hiking in the Caucasus:

The Caucasus marks the border of Eastern Europe and Western Asia and it is one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse places in the world. Within a short distance from Baku, you can go hiking in the Caucasus among the steep gorges and plains stretching far away.

Azerbaijani Sweets:

Most traditional Azerbaijani sweets are popular at events and festivals, whereas fresh fruits are served as a sweet course after a home-cooked meal. Many Azerbaijani desserts contain natural ingredients such as honey, nuts and fresh dough to make intense flavors without overloading the sweetness.

The birthplace of oil:

İn Azerbaijan, 1847, was drilled the first oil well, three years before the United States. There is not much known Azerbaijanis, known all over the world, but one of the most interesting facts about Azerbaijan is the fact that the Nobel family, which financed the Nobel Prize, made their money from the extraction of Azerbaijani oil.

The Land of Fire:

Azerbaijan has been known as the Land of Fire for millennia due to massive natural gas reserves beneath the ground that built seemingly instant earth fires, and the country was previously the hub of the Zoroastrians or fire-worshippers.
