Azerbaijan and Georgia
The trip started with the fascinating sites of Baku, where I visited the maiden tower and explored Gobustan’s petroglyphs and mud volcanoes. After flying to Tbilisi, I was in awe of the city’s historic charm like Narikala fortress which provided amazing panoramic views. The UNESCO site of Mtskheta and the cliffside monastery of Vardzia were among the highlights of Georgia. This is the ultimate cultural and historical journey through the Silk Road.

Starting in Baku, I was enchanted by the UNESCO-listed Old City and the stunning Maiden Tower. The trip to Gobustan National Park, where I saw ancient petroglyphs and mud volcanoes was a true highlight. The flight to Tbilisi introduced me to Georgia’s beautiful capital, and Old Tbilisi was a joy to explore. Fuad was a fantastic guide providing detailed insights into the rich history of both countries.
