Three hours from Dubai, and a whole new world. Welcome to Azerbaijan, the land of fire.
Watch the Flame Towers glow over Baku at sunset. Get lost in the stone lanes of Icherisheher, Baku's UNESCO-listed Old City. Walk the Caspian seaside boulevard after dark, then head out to Gabala's mountains and the mud volcanoes of Gobustan.
A Baku holiday from the UAE that feels far away, without the long flight.
Save this for your next long weekend, and tag the friend you'd take with you.
Which would you do first: Old City lanes or mountain air? Tell us below.
DM "BAKU" and we'll plan the rest.
