National Day Fixed Departure: Beautiful Baku | 4 Days from Dubai

Azerbaijan — the "Land of Fire" — is where East meets West in the most spectacular way. Baku, the capital, is a city of contrasts: a UNESCO-listed medieval Old City (Icherisheher) sits beside futuristic Flame Towers and a stunning Caspian Sea waterfront promenade. This 4-day National Day package combines the best of Baku's culture with a day trip to the mountain resort of Gabala, where you'll ride one of the world's longest cable cars.

Azerbaijan is a Muslim-majority country, making it one of the most halal-friendly destinations for UAE travellers. Halal food is everywhere, mosques are throughout the city, and the people are warm and welcoming. The ASAN e-visa system takes just 3 days to process, making this a practical last-minute National Day escape.

December weather in Baku is cool (5-10°C) with occasional wind from the Caspian Sea — bring a warm jacket. The package includes a visit to the Ateshgah Fire Temple and Yanar Dag (Burning Mountain), where natural gas seeps through the earth and has burned for centuries — a truly unique sight.
