Baku Getaway

Welcome to Azerbaijan. Arrive at Heydar Aliyev International Airport and proceed for your transfer to the hotel. In evening, proceed for Baku by Evening tour. Baku is a surprisingly mysterious city to discover, even at Evening & night time. Once the sun goes down, this modern capital city truly dazzles and transforms magically at night. Overnight in Baku.

After breakfast, proceed by your transfer for Old Baku City Tour. Baku is a largest open air museum in the world and UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. Its territory of 22 hectares is full of ancient baths, mosques, caravanserais, medieval markets, fortress walls and other 6-7 century buildings, among which we will visit the main symbol of Baku- Maiden’s Tower, Juma Mosque, Caravanserais and the main headquarter of Bakuvian Khans- Shirvanshah Palace

After breakfast, proceed for Absheron tour. As fire worshipping was the main religion in Azerbaijan before Islam, there were many places to pray to Fire in this region. Firstly, visit Ateshgah- Fire Temple which was going useless and reincarnating over centuries and has reached its glory in 17th century due to donations from Indian merchants, who were importing indigo and spices and exporting salt and naphta from Azerbaijan. Secondly, you will visit the Burning Mountain, the natural phenomenon of fire coming up from ground for over 300 mln. years. 

After breakfast, proceed for Gabala tour. On the way from Baku to Shamakhi we visit Maraza village known for its unique monument – a two-storied mausoleum-mosque of the 15th century called Diri-Baba, located across from the old cemetery (From outside). Our next stop will be Yeddi Gumbaz Mausoleum, at the foot of Gulistan Fortress is located Yeddi Gumbez Mausoleum or “Seven Domes”. This is how people named Shamakhi tomb of Shirvan Dynasty rulers (From outside). Then the tour will go to Gabala which is the newest resort town. Here, you will view the eye-catching Lake Nohur with a magnificent view of the Caucasus Mountains. Later visit the Tufandag winter-summer tourism complex, the most favourite part of the tour.
