Itinerary

 -Arrival in Baku, meeting at the Heydar Aliyev International Airport with a professional English - speaking guide

-Transfer to the hotel

19:00 Starting Night Baku City Tour

-Visiting Boulevard.

The Boulevard along the Caspian is a beautiful, several

kilometer-long parkways that is a real gem of the city. Its history goes back

more than 100 years, to a time when Baku oil barons built their mansions along

the Caspian shore and when the seafront was artificially built up inch by inch.

*Boat trip:

During the walk, experienced guides tell the history of the Caspian Sea. At the

same time - you can admire a unique panorama of Baku, with the opening of the

sea.

*Boat trip in Venice:

"Little Venice" in Baku Boulevard is a small town built in 1960. It

was expanded up to 10.000 sq.m. now. Boats are provided for 4 people: one

is designed for guide and the rest - for passengers.

*Carpet Museum:

Azerbaijan is a country of flying carpets. The different regional carpet

schools are located in Azerbaijan. The Carpet Museum will give you the

inspiration of different style carpets with different ornaments. (Exterior

inspection)

*Baku Ferris Wheel:

Baku Ferris Wheel, also known as the Baku Eye. The wheel is 60 meters (200 ft)

high and has 30 cabins, each is holding eight people. It makes a complete turn

in 30 to 40 minutes.

*Highland Park, which offers a beautiful view of the city. Climbing the stairs higher

and higher, you seem to be climbing a mountain. Your chest is filled with the

cool and refreshing air of the highlands, your wings are spread, and you are

like a bird hovering over this ancient majestic city. From here you can see the

Baku Bay, Boulevard, Icheri Sheher, the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the

Shirvanshahs

23:00 – End of the tour

We strongly recommend you to devote the evening to the Azerbaijani tea ceremony

in the tea houses in the boulevard

Cizitens love to sit in a teahouse in the boulevard, especially in the

evenings, when the heat of the day gives way to evening coolness, a light cool

breeze blows, lights are on everywhere, a beautiful view of the Caspian Sea.

Everyone wants to enjoy being in such an environment, especially when the walk

is complemented by a visit to a Baku teahouse or cafe, where you slowly enjoy

fragrant tea in the company of friends.

-Breakfast in the hotel

-Starting Absheron tour

-Firstly, to Atesgah (Fire Temple)

it is the first main settlement of worshippers in Azerbaijan since the second

century. Ateshgah often called the "Fire Temple of Baku" is a

castle-like religious temple in Surakhani town, a suburb of Baku, Azerbaijan.

Based on Persian and Indian inscriptions, the temple was used as a Hindu, Sikh,

and Zoroastrian place of worship. 

-Next, we will visit: Yanar Dag (Azerbaijani: Yanar Dağ,

meaning "burning mountain") Fire mountain

is one of the most incredible natural sightseeings of Absheron peninsula. This

is a mountain hill which is impossible to put out neither with rain nor with

sand. And it is several thousand years that it burns. The frightening and

simultaneously mesmerizing fiery landscape are actually explained very simply:

From the upper layers of the soil natural gas is released, and when it comes

into contact with oxygen, it turns into a flame.

-Setting off to Balakhani

There are many ancient monuments in the village. The surviving monuments

are the "Haji Shalale" mosque built in 1385 by the master Arif, the

Shakiragi tomb dating from 1427, the "Shah Sefi" caravanserai,

erected in 1636, as well as an underground reservoir (ovdan) of the 14th

century, which was used by local residents up to 1920 -s.

-Free time.             

In the evening, it’s offered to visit the fish restaurant. The

fish-restaurants with the beautiful Caspian Sea view offer a wide range of fish

dishes. Anyone who wants to enjoy the bounties of the Caspian Sea can turn

here.

Winemaking as one of the main forms of activity has existed on the territory of today's Azerbaijan since ancient times. Exquisite grape varieties and the enchanting taste of Azerbaijani wine will not leave anyone indifferent!

As part of a wine tour, you will:

- Take a guided tour of the vineyard

- Walk through the vineyard

- Explore the advanced winemaking technologies used in the

enterprise

- Visit the wine cellars

- Taste the wines (depending on the package you choose)

The excursions also include a stop along the way to visit the

historical sites of Shamakhi.

*Diri Baba mausoleum

On the way from Baku to Shamakhi in the village of Maraza there

is a unique monument - a two-story mausoleum-mosque Diri Baba of the 15th

century, located opposite the old cemetery. For a long time, local residents

kept the legend that a saint named Diri Baba was buried here and remained

incorrupt. However, many legends and mystical details are associated with this

monument. Therefore, since the 17th century, it has attracted many pilgrims and

just prying eyes

*Juma mosque

One of the most interesting mosques in Azerbaijan is the Juma

mosque in Shamakhi. Its history goes back centuries.

The very first mosque belonged to the Shirvan School of

Architecture and was built in 126 AH (743-744). It was at that distant time

that the construction of the first mosques on the territory of modern

Azerbaijan began.

*Mausoleum of Yeddi Gumbez("Seven Domes")

From the name "Seven Domes" it is easy to guess that

the architectural composition consists of seven elevations, domes, tombs.

The tombs contain the remains of the Shirvan rulers. The family

of Mustafa Khan, the last Shamakhi ruler of the Shirvanshah dynasty, is buried

here. Tourists are allowed to enter the crypt and see where the ashes of the

ancient rulers are kept. Each tomb contains 3-4 graves with impressive stone

tombstones. From time to time, they also significantly collapsed and lopsided.

The name of the architect Usta Taji Memar is carved on one of the stones and

immortalized for posterity.

*Meysari

On the territory of the complex there are plantations consisting

of various varieties of grapes. Thus, 40 percent of the vineyard, the total

area of ​​which will reach 200 hectares in 2019, will be white grape varieties,

and 60 percent - red grape varieties. "Shirvan Sharablary" LLC

produces wines "Sadaf", "Mardjan" and "Mehmeri"

under the trade mark "Meisari".
