Baku & Gabala trips from Amman
Azerbaijan pairs two very different worlds. Baku is a Caspian capital of flame-shaped towers, a UNESCO-listed walled old city and a seafront boulevard made for evening strolls. Around three and a half hours north-west, Gabala sits in the green foothills of the Greater Caucasus — cable cars, forest lakes and cool mountain air in summer. Seven nights gives you time for both, plus the fire and rock landscapes around the capital. As a Muslim-majority country, Azerbaijan also makes halal dining easy.

A long seaside promenade with cafés, gardens and boat rides on the Caspian.

When to Go
Seasonal guide
April – June and September – October: the best time for Baku, warm but not hot, with green mountains in Gabala. July – August: hot and windy in Baku while Gabala stays cool — the classic summer pairing for Jordanian and Gulf families, so book early. November – March: cold and windy on the Caspian; Tufandag in Gabala runs a winter ski season.
