6 Days • Azerbaijan Private Tour

Meet and greet at Heydar Aliyev International Airport, followed by a private transfer to your hotel for check-in.
Depending on your arrival time, enjoy a welcome lunch or dinner. Baku has transformed into a modern metropolis and a fascinating destination where future technology, luxury hotels, and ancient traditions, authentic cuisine, and Oriental hospitality blend perfectly.
After resting at the hotel, we will visit Shirvanshakh Restaurant, one of the city's most opulent traditional dining venues, for your first taste of authentic Azerbaijani cuisine.
Signature Dish: Azerbaijani Pilaf with chestnuts and meat.
這種抓飯與中亞或土耳其的作法略有不同。首先將米飯以特殊方式煮熟，隨後再加入配菜。將切成半圓圈的洋蔥加入薑黃，用酥油 (ghee) 以慢火炒香；同時將肉類放入鹽水中分開煮熟。烹調結束前，將炒洋蔥、乾櫻桃李和炸栗子撒在肉上提味。
📍 Accommodation: Baku

Breakfast at the hotel.
At 10:00, depart for Highland Park and the Old City (Icheri Sheher). Baku's history dates back to ancient times. Thanks to its prime location on the Absheron Peninsula—blessed with a calm harbor, mild climate, fertile land, and rich resources—it became a thriving ancient settlement. Highland Park offers panoramic views of the city, Baku Bay, and the historic Seaside Boulevard.
Explore the "Icheri Sheher," home to the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, the iconic Maiden Tower, and ancient caravanserais.
Lunch: Dolma restaurant.
Signature Dish: Dolma (Stuffed grape leaves with minced lamb, rice, and spices).
Dolma 是一款獨特的傳統菜餚，由葡萄葉包裹煮熟的碎羊肉、米飯和香料製成。「Dolma」這個菜名在多種突厥語系中都很常見，帶有「填滿」或「塞滿」的意思。
Afternoon: Visit the Heydar Aliyev Center, designed by Zaha Hadid, an iconic landmark of modern Baku and a winner of the "Design of the Year" award.
18:00 返回酒店。
Dinner: Shah Garden restaurant.
Signature Dish: Lamb Kebab, grilled over charcoal for an authentic smoky flavor.
東方最古老的菜餚之一就是烤羊肉串，被視為東方和高加索地區的傳統美食。在燒烤過程中，肉質會吸收木炭的煙燻香氣，從而獲得迷人的風味與口感。在木炭上烤製的醃製肉塊才是真正的 Kebab。此菜餚會搭配新鮮蕃茄、青瓜、燈籠椒和香草一同享用。
📍 Accommodation: Baku

Breakfast at the hotel.
10:00 Depart for Yanardag, the "Burning Mountain," a natural wonder where natural gas escaping from the soil creates eternal flames. Next, visit the Ateshgah Fire Temple, an ancient Zoroastrian site. Baku's oil and "burning land" have been world-famous since antiquity, closely linked to the early Zoroastrianism of the Manna and Media kingdoms.
下一站參觀拜火教神廟《Ateshgah》。亞塞拜然是地球上少數至今仍能找到火崇拜元素和古代瑣羅亞斯德教 (Zoroastrianism) 遺跡的地方之一。這些石油從地面滲出、天然氣點燃成火炬的地方，歷來吸引著全球的拜火者。Baku、其石油與這片「燃燒的土地」自古以來便遠近馳名。西元前 7 世紀興起的瑪納 (Manna) 和米底亞 (Media) 王國，其官方宗教便是瑣羅亞斯德教，該宗教的傳播正與這些自燃的油氣源密切相關。
13:00 Culinary Masterclass & Lunch
Gentlemen will learn the unique art of making traditional Kebab, while ladies will join a masterclass to craft Kutabs, thin national-style pancakes stuffed with meat or vegetables.
Signature Dish: Lula Kebab (minced lamb skewers slow-grilled over red charcoal).
Lula kebab 是一種由碎羊肉拌入香料調味製成的烤肉串。首先將碎肉放進雪櫃冷藏 20-30 分鐘，然後將碎肉塑造成香腸狀並串在烤籤上。Lula kebab 是在烤爐的紅炭上慢火烤熟，期間不能有明火。烤好後會用薄餅 (lavash bread) 包裹，並佐以洋蔥和香草。
15:00 返回酒店及自由活動。

09:00 Depart for Shamakhi
旅程的第一站是 Shamakhi 市。自 9 世紀以來，這裡曾是古代 Shirvanshahs 國家的首都，亦是絲綢之路 (Great Silk Road) 上的主要據點之一。該地區以風景如畫的大自然、山林和草甸而聞名，海拔高度為 800 米。此地溫和的氣候使其成為亞塞拜然主要的釀酒中心之一。
貴賓將參觀當地頂級的釀酒公司之一《Meysari》(The Shirvan Wines Company)。它是亞塞拜然最新興的酒莊之一，亦是國內首家獲得歐盟有機認證的公司。作為品酒體驗的一部分，貴賓將有機會品嚐當地的葡萄酒，如 Mahmari、Sadaf 和 Mardjan。
Lunch: Shamakhi
Signature Dish: Saj with lamb meat (slow-cooked in a traditional circular iron pan).
這是一道以獨特方式烹調、非常美味多汁的菜餚。傳統食譜使用名為「saj」的圓形鐵盤（原本用於烘烤麵包）來料理，這道菜亦因而得名。烹調過程中使用的蔬菜會釋放出鮮美的汁液，完美襯托出肉質的鮮美。
主菜將配上一瓶亞塞拜然紅半甜葡萄酒《Madrasa》，該酒採用產自 Shamakhi 和 Ismayilli 山區的「madrasa」葡萄品種，並以經典技術釀製而成。
