Modern & Beautiful
The "Land of Fire" is a fascinating country where
ancient customs merge seamlessly with modern discoveries. Baku, the capital,
glistens with futuristic architecture represented by the Flame Towers and the
Heydar Aliyev Center, i.e. the opposite of the historic Old City known as
Icherisheher. The mud volcanoes of Gobustan, the eternal flames of Yanar Dag,
and the Sheki Khan's Palace, amongst others, comprise Azerbaijan's natural and
cultural riches. The adventure-seeking tourist may wander through the Caucasus
mountains, while the Caspian Sea coast offers peaceful retreats. Known for its
distinctive cuisine featuring such delicacies as plov, dolma, and kebabs,
Azerbaijan is a blend of history, adventure, and modern-day luxury, an emerging
paradise for travelers.
