Foreword

Ganja is the very same city where life is constantly blowing up despite of the wars destroying it, the raids of the invaders, or the natural disasters.

Nevertheless, Ganja, like a phoenix, is reborn every time with increasing power and beauty

We are going to be acquainted with the delightful homeland of Nizami Ganjavi - the world famous poet of the East. From the very first minutes, this journey will take you 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 beloved entertainments of the locals - we will try a huge multi-ton cake. What kind of cake? Come and we will all know.

Who is this tour for?

Walking in Ganja will definitely appeal to those vacationers who love a rich, informative, with the presence of legends. If you are a true gourmet of delicious dishes, then Ganja will definitely be able to please you. Local chefs are considered the best in the country.

A fascinating walk through the historical sites that have their own distinctive feature

The ensemble of Sheikh Bahauddin is the treasure and pride of the city. It includes three important components: Juma mosque, Cheyak-Hammam, Caravansarayes. Each of these “elements” contains an unusual and important feature.

  • The astronomer Sheikh Bahauddin built the Juma Mosque. Enjoying the beauty of the building, we will learn to compare our watches on it.
  • The Cheyak-Hammam bathhouse has a rather cunning layout, which allows the building to remain warm in the winter, and cool in the summer. UNESCO, by the way, now protects the bath.
  • There is a rather interesting museum dedicated to the famous poetess Mehseti Ganjavi in the Caravansaray. Walking through the halls and rooms of a two-story building, we learn why the caravansaray is also called the Temple of Knowledge.

Enjoying the beauty of the current Russian Orthodox Cathedral of Alexander Nevsky, you can’t even imagine where it was built!

During the tour, we will slightly open the doors of interesting facts. For example, both Orthodox and Muslims made investments in its construction. Ironically, an anti-religious museum functioned here at one time. However, today the doors of the temple are open to all comers.

Ganja is a city where historical buildings alternate with modern attractions

The fame of a bottle house quickly spread throughout the world. A local resident, Ibrahim Jafarov, built this mansion in honor of his missing brother during World War II. We will compete, who of us can correctly calculate the number of bottles used, and look at the courtyard: who lives there today?

See the beauty of one of the largest lakes in Azerbaijan - Geygel

For two decades, getting here was not easy: the lake was closed to the public and was under state protection in the territory of the Geygel Park, hiding from prying eyes behind the mountains surrounding it. Only from the summer of 2015, the lake was opened for tourists.

The entire territory of the Geygel Reserve is divided into parts by deep valleys, along the bottom of which stormy rivers flow.

The Geygel Lake located here, which, incidentally, gave the name to the park, the largest and most beautiful mountain lake in Azerbaijan.

Local cuisine, like a melodic song - I want to listen and listen to it

The cuisine of Azerbaijan is a separate attraction of this beautiful eastern country.

Each city of Azerbaijan meet guests in a special way. Ganja is no exception.

Welcome to the real house of the Azerbaijani family!

Everyone is interested, being in a city of another country, to feel like a native. We will give you this opportunity. Welcome to spend the night in a real Azerbaijani house, where everything around is Azerbaijani - furniture, dishes, and carpets. Here, even the smell is different. This is the smell of tradition, hospitality, and a family soul.
