Overview

Five easy days across Azerbaijan, built for UAE residents who want zero planning. We fly you from Dubai to Baku, meet you at arrivals with a private transfer, and settle you into a 4-star hotel steps from Nizami Street. From there it is Old City heritage, the Flame Towers panorama, a full mountain day in Gabala with the cable car and Tufandag viewpoints, and a free morning for shopping before your evening flight home. Every transfer, entrance ticket, breakfast and English-speaking guide is already inside the price.

  • Direct 3-hour flight from Dubai — leave Friday morning, back Tuesday night
  • Hotel is a 2-minute walk from Nizami Street, not on the outskirts
  • Full mountain day in Gabala with the Tufandag cable car included
  • Small group of 12 to 18 guests with one dedicated guide
  • Every transfer pre-booked — no taxi haggling, no hidden add-ons
  • Free evening on day 4 so the trip never feels rushed
