Why visit Azerbaijan?
Nestled on the shores of the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan is a country of contrasts and bewildering beauty. Azerbaijan was a meeting point of ancient empires and a place where rural villages uphold ancient traditions, but it's also an emerging and rapidly changing country, reborn after years of conflict and life behind the Soviet Iron Curtain. It's now an oil-rich nation making its mark on the 21st century architectural scene. The country’s diverse terrain combines desert, mountains and landlocked sea. This ancient silk road and cross-roads between Europe and Asia will leave curious single travellers spellbound.
