Overview
Nestled both in Asia as well as Europe, Azerbaijan is a land of contradictions and contracts. Azerbaijan’s main attractions; the mud volcano, burning mountains, and the Flame Buildings, may have given the nation its name, the “Land of Fire” but equally fascinating and worth visiting are its eclectic architectural landscape, historic mosques, stately palaces and luxurious coastal resorts.
As one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the world, this transcontinental country has remained off-the-beaten-path for even the most avid travellers. But not anymore, the country has undergone an extraordinary transformation from the post-Soviet 1990s era to hosting high-profile sporting events like the UEFA Europa League football and the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
This amazing Azerbaijan Tour Package has been designed to give you a chance to explore the best of this enchanting destination. The tour begins with a visit to the UNESCO listed historic neighbourhood in Baku, followed by a visit through panoramic vistas of Gabala including the spectacular Yeddi Gozel Waterfall and Nohurgol Lake. The Gobustan and Absheron peninsula tour included in the package gives you a tour of Gobustan Rock Art, Ateshgah - Fire Temple and Yanardagh Reserve (Burning Mountain) among other Absheron’s attractions including one of the world’s most intriguing natural wonders, the mud volcanoes.
Read on for an amazing ride into Azerbaijan’s history and culture.
