Begin your experience by meeting your guide in Baku’s Old City. Walk through narrow medieval streets to the Maiden Tower and hear its legends and historical significance. Visit the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, the former royal residence, and admire its stunning courtyards and halls. Pass by historic caravanserais, mosques, and charming alleyways, with photo stops along the way.

Next, enter a traditional Old City restaurant. Guided by a local chef, prepare one of the most popular Azerbaijani food “Dolma” – vine leaves stuffed with a savory mixture, rolled by your own hands. Make “Qutab” – thin flatbread stuffed with greens or meat, cooked on a griddle. Finally, prepare “Ayran”, a refreshing yogurt drink with an Azerbaijani twist: dry mint.

Sit down to enjoy the dishes you’ve prepared, accompanied by fresh salads and bread. Conclude the experience with samovar tea served with local sweets and homemade jams.
