Azerbaijan: land of fire! Land of Zoroaster!
Land of extremes! Land of hospitality! Land of culture!
Land of beauty! Azerbaijan has been known as all of
these things.
Azerbaijan is the land of fire and Zoroaster because
of the vast oil reserves in and around Baku and in
the Caspian Sea. The Zoroastrians came here because
of the mysteriously flaming earth caused by escaping
gas.
Land of extremes: Azerbaijan has nine of the earth's
eleven climate classifications – from arid to subtropical.
Its landscapes range from desert to dense forests.

Anyone who comes to visit Azerbaijan finally
understands what Eastern hospitality really means and
finds himself amongst a people that extend genuine warmth
to visitors and welcome them into their home and country.
It is certainly the land of beauty and some of the
world's most beautiful landscapes can be found in
Azerbaijan, as well as stunning works of art whether
it be rugs, paintings or architecture to name a few.
Many would argue that Azerbaijan is also home to some
of the most beautiful people found anywhere, and after
witnessing their kindness and warmth, it's hard not
to agree.
