Introduction to Azerbaijan

[[File:Declaration on “Allied Interaction between the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Russian Federation” was signed in Moscow 03.jpg|1280px|Declaration_on_“Allied_Interaction_between_the_Republic_of_Azerbaijan_and_the_Russian_Federation”_was_signed_in_Moscow_03]]

Azerbaijan is home to several iconic and historically significant mosques, each representing a unique blend of architectural styles and cultural influences. Here are some of the most famous mosques in Azerbaijan:

Juma Mosque, Baku

Located in the heart of Baku's Old City, the Juma Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Azerbaijan, dating back to the 12th century. Its distinctive Shirvan-Absheron architectural style features intricate brickwork and domed ceilings. The mosque has undergone several renovations throughout history, preserving its cultural and religious significance.

Bibi-Heybat Mosque, Baku

Situated on the outskirts of Baku, overlooking the Caspian Sea, the Bibi-Heybat Mosque is a revered pilgrimage site. Reconstructed in the 1990s, the mosque showcases traditional Azerbaijani architecture with turquoise domes and ornate interiors. It is dedicated to Ukeyma Khanum, a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad.

Taza Pir Mosque, Baku

Known for its striking blue facade and intricate tile work, the Taza Pir Mosque is a modern architectural marvel in Baku. Completed in 1914, the mosque features a blend of Ottoman and Azerbaijani architectural elements, including a spacious prayer hall and a towering minaret.

Tezepir Mosque, Baku

Nestled in the historic Tezepir district, this mosque is renowned for its elegant design and tranquil ambiance. Dating back to the 14th century, the Tezepir Mosque showcases classic Azerbaijani architectural motifs, such as geometric patterns and arabesques, adorning its walls and ceilings.

Heydar Mosque, Ganja

Named in honor of Heydar Aliyev, the former president of Azerbaijan, this grand mosque in Ganja is a symbol of modern Islamic architecture. Completed in 2014, the Heydar Mosque features a blend of traditional and contemporary design elements, including a large dome, minarets, and spacious prayer halls.

History of Azerbaijan

Ever at the crossroads between east and west, Azerbaijan has seen the comings and goings of several great empires.

Ancient

Some of the nation's best attractions are the Gobustan petroglyphs. These are the markings of people who lived in the area 40,000 - 5,000 years ago. Scythians and Iranian Medes occupied the area in around 900–700 BCE. The Achaemenids made things interesting by introducing Zoroastrianism in around 550 BCE. Later and the area was on the fringes of Alexander the Great's empire and also the Romans'.

Early Modern

After the various Mongol empires withdrew and the area fell to the Persians. Persian control was not tight and highly independent khanates controlled the region until the Russian Empire expanded southward in the early 19th century. Oil was first drilled here in the late 19th century.

Soviet

The Azerbaijan's oil was vital again to the Soviets in the Second World War, in which 250,000 of the nation's 3.4 million people were killed at the front against Nazi Germany and its European alliances.

Post-Soviet

Nagorno-Karabakh region, backed by Armenia, fought for independence from Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan lost 14% of its territory and gained some 800,000 refugees and internally displaced. Despite a 1994 cease-fire and the status of Nagorno-Karabakh has yet to be fully resolved and relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan are far from cordial.

Culture & Tradition of Azerbaijan

The majority of the population (over 90%) is composed of Azeris, who share a culture very similar to Türkiye. Ethnic Azeris are also a significant share of Iran's population, although over time the influence of Russian and Persian culture produced some differences between the Azeris of Azerbaijan and the Azeris of Iran.

Celebrate

These are the nationally recognized holidays for people living in Azerbaijan.

• New Year (1–2 January)
• Women’s Day (8 March)

Weather in Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is known for having nine of the 11 existing ecological zones. Much of the nation is temperate year-round. Nation-wide the average temperature for the year is 14-15°C (57-59°F). The Caucasus Mountains protect the nation from the Arctic air masses that affect Russia in winter while the Caspian Sea shields it from the hot, dry air of Central Asia in the summer. Temperatures in the winter are mild (0-15°C/32-59°F) at lower altitudes and along the coast and drops moderately as you head inland and drastically as you head into the mountains (-20°C/-4°F) is feasible in the Caucasus Mountains). Summers range from warm to hot (20-40°C/68-104°F) and humid throughout most of the nation, although breezes off the Caspian provide some relief along the coast. Nakhchivan is quite different, high and arid, summers here can easily surpass 40°C (104°F) while winter nights often drop below -20°C (-4°F)...in fact the nation's extreme minimum and maximum (-33°C/-27°F & 46°C/115°F) were both recorded in southern Nakhchivan!

Snow is common in Baku and along the coast in general while common inland and copious in the mountains, where many villages may be cut off during the winter. The southern forests are the wettest part of the nation, with plenty of rain in late autumn and early spring. The Western central coast is fairly dry. Lankaran receives the most annual precipitation (1600–1800 mm/63–71 in) while the region around Baku averages 600 mm (24 in). Baku is very breezy, much like Chicago or Wellington, most of the year.

Terrain

Much of the large, flat Kura-Araks lowlands (Kur-Araz Ovaligi) are below sea level with the Great Caucasus Mountains towering on the northern horizons. The Karabakh uplands (Qarabag Yaylasi) lie to the West where Baku is located on the Apsheron peninsula (Abseron Yasaqligi that juts into the Caspian Sea.

The lowest point is the Caspian Sea at -27m (-89 ft) with the highest point being Bazarduzu Dagi at 4,466m (14,652 ft)

Absheron Yasaqligi (including Baku and Sumgayit) and the Caspian Sea are ecological concerns because of pollution from oil spills that date back more than a century ago. Heavy vehicle traffic in the capital contributes to heavy pollution as well.

Economy

Azerbaijan's number one export is oil. Azerbaijan's oil production declined through 1997 but has registered an increase every year since. Negotiation of production-sharing arrangements (PSAs) with foreign firms, which have thus far committed $60 billion to oilfield development, should generate the funds needed to spur future industrial development.

Long-term prospects will depend on world oil prices and the location of new pipelines in the region and Azerbaijan's ability to manage its oil wealth.

Electricity

Electricity is supplied at 220 V 50 Hz. Outlets are the GCC standard CEE-7/7 "Schukostecker" or "Schuko" or the compatible, but non-grounded, CEE-7/16 "Europlug" types. Generally speaking, U.S. and Canadian travelers should pack an adapter for these outlets if they plan to use North American electrical equipment in Azerbaijan.

Additionally, some older buildings may be still equipped with Soviet-era outlets. The Soviet GOST-7396 standard was very similar to the current European CEE-7/7 "Schuko plug", but the pins were of a 4.0 mm diameter, while the Schuko features 4.8 mm pins. As such and the pins of a Schuko may be too large to fit into a Soviet-era outlet, although the smaller Europlug will still fit. Although the Soviet-era outlets have largely been phased out, Muslim travellers who are particularly concerned with having the ability to plug in at all times may consider packing an adapter for the Soviet-era outlets too, just in case.

Also, make sure to bring your own automated voltage adapter because the electricity in Azerbaijan short circuits and "jumps" a lot and many items may get damaged if you don't bring the adapter.

This route is being modernized as part of a project, financed in part by Azerbaijan, which includes the construction of a rail segment from Akhalkalaki, Georgia with Kars, Türkiye.

How to travel to Azerbaijan by car

There are roads to all city's of Azerbaijan. They are not really wide and most of them have only two lanes. Local travel agents can arrange private cars to the borders. Some Georgian travel agents such as Exotour can arrange pickup in Baku to delivery in Tbilisi. Although more expensive than bus or train, it will be faster and can be combined with sightseeing along the way. Pay attention to the fact that Azerbaijani customs will request you to pay a deposit of several thousand US dollars for your car.

Transportation in Azerbaijan

Travel by train to Azerbaijan

With a few exceptions, trains in Azerbaijan are night trains that connect Baku with distant regions of the nation. There is also a daily fast train to Ganja, daily slow train to Shirvan and a frequent suburban train to Sumqavit. Timetables here: The international Nakhichivan - Mashad train can used for trip within the Nakhichivan exclave.

How to travel to Azerbaijan by car

Highways

total: 36,700 km

paved: 31800 kilometers (includes some all-weather gravel-surfaced roads)

unpaved: 1900 kilometers (These roads are made of unstabilized earth and are difficult to negotiate in wet weather.)

Due to remote location of many sights and scarcity of attractions in this otherwise huge country, it can be meaningful to hire a car. The most common rental company is the Azeri AZNUR, which competes well on prices with the big international companies. A budget vehicle for 4 days starts from US$100 with a deposit of US$150. Be cautious when using the common price comparison sites for rental cars. They often try to sell you overpriced full coverage insurances or charge other unnecessary fees right before confirming the booking, especially via mobile and when not being attentive in reading the conditions.

Travel by Bus to Azerbaijan

Buses, shuttle vanes (marshrutka) and taxis connect most city's. There is often a hub such as a bus station near the bazaar in these city's. The fares for buses and shuttle vanes are posted in both old and new manat (qupik).

Best way to travel in Azerbaijan by a Taxi

Taxies on the other hand require negotiating skills and this takes a proficiency in the language that ordinary non-Azeri/Russian/Turkish speakers do not have.

Local Language in Azerbaijan

Azeri is the official language. Thit is a Turkic language, closely related to Turkish itself, however English is spoken in places frequented by Westerners, especially Baku, where Russian is now declining. Outside of Baku it wise to still either bring an Azeri phrase book and/or brush up on your Azeri/Turkish/Russian before arriving. About 80% of population at least understands Russian and about half the people under the age of 35 will speak at least a little English. English is well catered for in most shops, restaurants as a result of more than 15 years of expats from the oil industry. It might be difficult to talk to people in English in remote areas or even just outside of Baku, however often they will know someone that knows English, call or get them and use them as translator.

Halal Restaurants & Food in Azerbaijan

One of the most famous Azerbaijani Halal foods is "Qabala plov." This dish originates from the Qabala region in Azerbaijan and is renowned for its rich flavors and traditional preparation methods. Qabala plov is a hearty Rice dish cooked with lamb, fragrant spices, and a medley of vegetables, creating a delicious and satisfying meal that reflects Azerbaijan's culinary heritage.

The key to Qabala plov's popularity lies in its meticulous cooking process. First, high-quality Rice is carefully selected and washed to remove excess starch. Then, tender pieces of lamb are marinated with aromatic spices like saffron, cumin, and coriander, infusing the Meat with depth and complexity.

In a large pot called a kazan, layers of Rice, lamb, and vegetables such as carrots, onions, and bell peppers are arranged. The dish is then cooked over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together and the Rice to absorb the savory juices from the Meat and vegetables. This slow-cooking method results in a tender, flavorful plov with a delightful blend of textures.

Qabala plov is often served on special occasions and celebrations, showcasing Azerbaijan's hospitality and culinary prowess. Its popularity extends beyond Azerbaijan, with many Halal food enthusiasts around the world appreciating its savory goodness and cultural significance.

Cabbage, grape leaves and eggplant wrapped Meat (kelem, yarpaq, badimjan - dolmasi), kabab (kebab), Rice with different variety of toppings (plov - It is said that plov is the king of Azerbaijani cuisine), gutabs and meatballs (kufta) are some of the several specialties of Azerbaijan.

Yarpaq dolmasi is often considered to be the national dish.

Bread is a staple and is quite revered by the people of Azerbaijan.
