#ChristmasTravel #Azerbaijan "Azerbaijan" is a country in the Caucasus Mountains, connecting Europe and Asia. Its main income comes from oil and natural gas exports, which has led to the development of many cities to become modern. It is full of many ultra-modern buildings, but there is also ancient architecture with a European feel to it. It also has pristine nature, with views of lush green mountain peaks and the coastline next to the Caspian Sea. We guarantee that there are many beautiful places to visit in Azerbaijan! You will definitely have a unique and new experience when you come here. 🏖️ Environment/Facilities: 9/10 📍 Address: Baku 💰 Average price per person: 40,000 baht or more. 4,000 Dhs includes round-trip airfare and a 4-star hotel (we flew from Abu Dhabi Airport directly to Azerbaijan Airport for 3 hours). We work and live in the UAE. 💞 Recommended reason: You should have a jumper charger with you. Because in Azerbaijan, the plugs are still the old-fashioned 2-hole type. 🗓️Travel planning: Buy a flight ticket, book a hotel, and pay the visa fee of 30 dollars. We went in early December. The weather is usually 6-12 degrees in some areas. The first time we went, the hotel was in Baku, but the city with snow requires a 3-hour drive.

it was great hotel

Foreword As I write these words, Azerbaijan and Armenia have just ended another brief Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and the three countries of Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in the South Caucasus or Outer Caucasus region have a complicated love-hate relationship that has lasted for thousands of years. This region south of the Caucasus Mountains, east of the Caspian Sea, and west of the Black Sea, is located at the junction of Europe and Asia. Historically, the South Caucasus was ruled by the Persian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Arab Empire, and the Ottoman Empire, and was later incorporated into the territory of Tsarist Russia, becoming part of the Soviet Union. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the 1990s, the three countries became independent, and it has been just over 30 years. Although they are three countries, the total area of Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia is about the same as that of Hebei Province in China, and the total population of the three countries is only about 1/5 of Hebei Province. Only Azerbaijan has a population of over 10 million, and the other two countries have a population of about 3 million, mostly concentrated in their respective capitals. The Nagorno-Karabakh dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia, and the disputes between Georgia and North Russia over South Ossetia and Abkhazia, make this small region extremely complex. And this is the heartland of the Eurasian continent, where different civilizations and religions blend. The majestic mountains, deep canyons, ancient churches, old cities, quiet towns, and winding coastlines all come into your view here. The people strolling leisurely by the Caspian Sea in Baku in the evening, and the musicians and passers-by dancing and singing in Tbilisi at night, are all showing you the calm and passion from the Caucasus. Our journey begins from here, from the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan to the Kura River flowing through Tbilisi, crossing the mountains and valleys of the Caucasus, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Armenia, which we could not visit due to time constraints. This is a journey to the heart of Eurasia, the Caucasus. The trailer is out, let me tell you all about it. Looking at the Caspian Sea from the Baku Heights Park, this largest city in Azerbaijan is known as the 'Little Dubai of the Caucasus' One of the landmarks of Baku - the Aliyev Cultural Center, designed by the famous Zaha Hadid Studio. Sheki, Azerbaijan, the star track of the Caucasus Mountains. Georgia's famous love town, Sighnaghi. The Ananuri Castle, which has been on the cover of 'Lonely Planet'. Overlooking Tbilisi under the night sky from Mt. Sulorak. The girls dancing on the streets of Tbilisi at night. The night of Tbilisi. Azerbaijan Chapter Baku, 'Little Dubai of the Caucasus' Departing from Beijing, flying for more than 3 hours to Urumqi, Xinjiang, and then flying west for 4 hours, you can reach Baku, the largest city in the South Caucasus by the Caspian Sea. The Caspian Sea is actually not a 'sea', but the largest lake in the world. However, the area of the Caspian Sea, which is 370,000 square kilometers, is actually larger than many of the world's seas. Geographically, the Caspian Sea is part of the ancient Mediterranean Sea. The Caspian Sea is a place where locals usually walk and relax. It's very comfortable to feel the autumn breeze here. The vast Caspian Sea has given Azerbaijan rich oil and gas resources. From the plane flying over the Caspian Sea, you can see many drilling rigs in the Caspian Sea. Azerbaijan is one of the birthplaces of the modern oil industry, and the world's first oil well is in Baku. Before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan and Russia were the only two member republics that did not need central financial subsidies. The local wealth is evident. Among the three countries in the South Caucasus, Azerbaijan's economic strength is also the best. The world's first oil well, Azerbaijan is the birthplace of the modern oil industry. This is a common sight in Baku, with densely populated residential areas on the seemingly sparse vegetation hillsides. The villas and small buildings on the top of the mountain are said to be built by local rich people. The abundant funds brought by oil and gas resources not only helped Azerbaijan gain the upper hand in the recent Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but also made the capital Baku a very modern city, known as the 'Little Dubai of the Caucasus'. Walking in the central city area of Baku by the Caspian Sea, it feels like strolling on the streets of Europe. There are many luxury stores and cafes with crowds of people, and there are also many luxury cars on the streets, which are very lively.

Azerbaijan nice place

The Azerbaijan Democratic Republic proclaimed its independence from the Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic in 1918 and became the first secular democratic Muslim-majority state. In 1920, the country was incorporated into the Soviet Union as the Azerbaijan SSR. The modern Republic of Azerbaijan proclaimed its independence on 30 August 1991, shortly before the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the same year. In September 1991, the ethnic Armenian majority of the Nagorno-Karabakh region formed the self-proclaimed Republic of Artsakh. The region and seven surrounding districts are internationally recognized as part of Azerbaijan pending a solution to the status of the Nagorno-Karabakh through negotiations facilitated by the OSCE, although became de facto independent with the end of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War in 1994. Following the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, the seven districts and parts of Nagorno-Karabakh were returned to Azerbaijani control.

Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 is just one of the underrated country. The place and people were so amazing. It is a combination of modern and old architecture with very interesting historical background. I will definitely visit the country again ❤️❤️

Azerbaijan is One of the Best Country to Explore.

Republic of Azerbaijan (Azrbaycan Respublikas, English: Azerbaijan), bordering the Caspian Sea to the east, Iran to the south, Armenia, Turkey and Georgia to the west and Russia to the north. The name of the country comes from the ancient Persian language, which means "the country of fire." There is a place where it always ignites a flame, and the flame here will never go out, whether it is day or night, sunny or rainy. There are of course a lot of different styles here. [It's not the same]* Salty Yogurt (Aryan) In addition to water, the most famous is probably Aryan. Aryan is a salty yoghurt that is relatively thin. Shake it vigorously before drinking. (Small cup Aryan probably sells 0.5manet (RMB 2))

The town of Sheki in Azerbaijan is the most beautiful town in Azerbaijan and an important transit point on the Silk Road. Set amidst lush forests, it is full of cobbled streets and medieval buildings. Not only can you find the palace of the old century, the first Christian church in Albania, you can also experience the production of Shebeke window. Compared to the boring southern region, it is undoubtedly a fresh and idyllic landscape, great love~~

I also explored a small country that took the passport and said it was gone: Azerbaijan There is a fire in the Flame Mountain & Old Town & Azerbaijan Street View~ Azerbaijan is really fun, and Never think that Azerbaijan is very poor!

FLAME TOWER is a new landmark in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. It stands on the highlands of the Bakuri Sea and is almost visible in any corner of Baku. The three flaming towers are decorated with blue mirrored glass, which is crystal clear and bright at day and night. flame tower started construction in 2007

When it comes to Azerbaijan, everyone must be stranger. When it comes to oil rich countries, everyone thinks of the luxury of the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. In Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, you will feel the unique charm of this city on the seashore, where the old and new are perfectly blended. The Azerbaijan Art and Culture Center is a very high-value art museum, so how to be amazed by the worldly architecture. The ultra-compact look is bright and inward, with a full arc of design everywhere. Its really circle belongs to God, which makes people feel comfortable and friendly. Of course, its going to pay for the price of white outside, and its going to be sunburned here, so I have to hide in the shadows. This streamlined building continues to extend upwards from the ground, and the curved exterior skin effectively separates the functional areas of each space and preserves its privacy. The interior design of the museum also echoes the external landscape environment, providing visitors with a relatively broad view of the visit. The glass curtain wall skin gives the interior space plenty of natural light. The library area facing north can effectively control natural light exposure. A series of ramp designs connect the various areas of the interior and form a continuous traffic loop
