Ganja is the birthplace of poet Nizami, the power and beauty of Azerbaijan!

Preface

Ganja is the very city whose life is constantly boiling. Either the wars destroy it, then the raids of the invaders, or the natural elements leave their destructive mark with an unexpected blow. But Ganja, like a phoenix, is reborn every time with more power and beauty.

We are going to get acquainted with the delightful homeland of Nizami Ganjavi, the world-famous poet of the East. From the very first minutes you will be attracted to the world of fairy tales and narratives, because we will hear the legend about the creation of the glorious Azerbaijani city of Ganja. Well, if you manage to come here in December, then we will definitely take part in one of the most favorite entertainments of local residents - try a huge multi-ton cake. What kind of cake? Come and we'll find out.

Who is this tour for?

Walking around Ganja will definitely please those vacationers who love a rich, informative, with the presence of legends and legends pastime. And if you are a true gourmet and connoisseur of delicious dishes, then Ganja can definitely please you. After all, local chefs are considered the best in the country.

A fascinating walk through historical memorable places, which have their own distinctive feature.

The Sheikh Bahauddin Ensemble is the treasure and pride of the city. It includes three important components: Juma Mosque, Cheyak Hamam, Caravanserai. And each of these "elements" contains an unusual and important feature.

• The Juma Mosque was built by astronomer Sheikh Bahauddin. Enjoying the beauty of the building, we will learn to compare our clocks.
• Banya Cheyak Hamam has a rather cunning layout that allows the building to keep warm in winter, and cool in summer. The bath is currently protected by UNESCO.
• In Caravanserai there is a rather interesting museum dedicated to the famous poet Mehseti Ganjavi. Walking through the halls and rooms of the two-story building, we learn why the caravanserai is also called the Temple of Knowledge.

Enjoying the peaceful beauty of the functioning Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Alexander Nevsky, you can not even guess where it was built!

During the tour we will open the doors of interesting facts. For example, both Orthodox and Muslims invested in its construction. Ironically, an anti-religious museum once functioned here. Today, the doors of the temple are open to everyone.

Ganja is a city where historical buildings alternate with modern sights

The fame of the bottle house quickly spread around the world. Local resident Ibrahim Jafarov built this mansion in honor of his missing brother during World War II. We're going to compete, which one of us is going to be able to count the number of bottles we use, and we're going to look in the courtyard: who lives there today?

See the beauty of one of the largest lakes in Azerbaijan - Goygel.

For two decades, it was not easy to get here: the lake was closed to visitors and was under state protection on the territory of the Goygel Park, hiding from prying eyes behind the surrounding mountains. In the summer of 2015, the lake was opened to tourists.

The entire territory of the Goygel Reserve is divided into parts by deep valleys, along the bottom of which turbulent rivers flow. Located here, Lake Goygel, which, by the way, gave the name to the park - the largest and most beautiful mountain lake of Azerbaijan.

The local cuisine is like a melodic song – you want to listen to it. The cuisine of Azerbaijan is a separate attraction of this beautiful eastern country.

But each city spoils its guests in a special way. Ganja is no exception. The aroma of juicy greens impregnates every dish, making it even more appetizing. Shah pilaf will please taste buds with tenderness and spice. And delicious tea with the famous Ganja baklava will forever win your hearts, because you have never tasted anything more delicious.
