Overview

An exciting journey to one of the world's least visited destinations

Extend your stay in the Caucasus region with a short trip to the Land of Fire - Azerbaijan. Following a flight from Tbilisi, we arrive in the capital Baku, famous for its blend of historic UNESCO buildings and modern skyscrapers. From here we visit the Ateshgah Fire Temple, Yanar Dag (burning mountain) and the ancient rock carvings in Gobustan National Park. There is also some free time to explore fascinating Baku on the shores of the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan provides a wonderful contrast to Armenia and Georgia, where we experience an entirely different culture.

Food
3 breakfasts included. Unlike Georgia and Armenia, the cuisine of Azerbaijan is more heavily influenced by the nation’s Muslim neighbours in Turkey and Iran. Azerbaijan is famous for vegetables and greens used seasonally in their dishes. Fresh herbs, including mint, coriander, dill, basil, parsley, tarragon, and watercress are very popular and often accompany main dishes. The Caspian Sea is home to many species of fish, including the sturgeon. Black caviar from the Caspian Sea is one of Azerbaijan’s best-known delicacies well sought after in other parts of the world, including former Soviet countries. Kebabs and shashlik, including lamb, beef, chicken, duck and fish (baliq) are very popular and often served with a tart pomegranate sauce called narsharab. Dried fruits and walnuts are used in many dishes. Coffee is not always available, tea (always black) is very much the national drink. Alcohol is available throughout Baku but can be quite pricey.
Weather

The climate of Azerbaijan can be described as continental, with warm summer and very cold, dry winters. The country can be divided into three different climate zones; north of the mountainous regions, south of them, and along the coast of the Caspian Sea.

Temperatures during the summer months range between 20°C and 30°C. Summers in Azerbaijan are often warm and sunny with dry periods, but sometimes heavy rain and severe thunderstorms can occur.
