Aktau to Baku, Azerbaijan

Tourists can only fly into Azerbaijan, so our first flight since arriving in Singapore landed us in Baku.
In the words of another ‘Baku is the love child of Paris and Dubai’ - it is an apt description. We think Aladdin placed in his magic lamp: exotic caravanserai, a sultan’s palace, ancient and modern imaginative architects, artisans and lighting engineers.

Tonight’s dinner in a high-rise restaurant, dazzled by the city’s night lights, the antithesis of yesterday’s serene canyon lunch.
We highly recommend a visit to Baku.Read more
