BAKU, AZERBAIJAN
Whether you seek modern and enriching experiences or wish to immerse yourself in timeless traditions, Azerbaijan has it all. Nestled between Europe and Asia, Azerbaijan embodies a harmonious fusion of ancient heritage and contemporary innovations. It invites travellers to embrace the best of Western sophistication and Eastern traditions.
A single day in Baku, the capital city, can transport you around the world – from glamorous towers reminiscent of Dubai, to picturesque courtyards and cobblestone squares that evoke the spirit of Paris, and to the earthy hues of mosques and expansive coastal boulevards reminiscent of Oman.
Yanar Dag, the Burning Mountain, captivates with its unending wall of fire alongside a hill. Sparks dance from the permeable sandstone, creating a mesmerising sight, especially at night or in winter. Azerbaijan’s abundance of natural gas and oil reserves sustains this extraordinary phenomenon, shrouded in mystery.
ESSAOUIRA, MOROCCO
Nestled on Morocco’s Atlantic shore, Essaouira is a hidden gem, evoking the essence of North Africa’s bygone era. Its idyllic setting and strong trade winds have made it a renowned surf destination, while its expansive sandy beach beckons for leisurely strolls, free from the chaos of regal cities.
Upon arriving in Essaouira, a sense of familiarity envelops you, particularly if you have witnessed the picturesque filming locations showcased in Season 3 of Game of Thrones. The vibrant fishing port provides a captivating spectacle as the fishermen tend to their boats amidst a sea of blue. It also boasts a thriving arts and music scene, culminating in the internationally acclaimed Gnaoua music festival every June.
