About Azerbaijan

Where the Caucasus mountains meet the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan mixes oil-boom cities, fire temples and dry steppe. Baku's walled old city faces the coast, Gobustan holds petroglyphs and mud volcanoes, and the greener foothills around Sheki and Qabala offer a cooler contrast. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons, the lowlands turn hot and dry in summer, and mountain roads snow over in winter.

Did you know?

Azerbaijan is the largest country in the South Caucasus and sits on the Caspian Sea, the largest lake in the world.
It is known as the Land of Fire, and natural gas seeps at Yanar Dag have burned continuously for centuries.
Baku's oil fields were among the world's first, and the mechanical well drilled at Bibi-Heybat in 1846 was a pioneer of the industry.
