As of late, this sub has been flooded with foreigners asking for travel advice, and almost all new posts are from tourists. I believe this detracts from actual posts and conversations about Azerbaijan. Perhaps the mods should open a tourist megathread, or even a separate sub for travel advice in Azerbaijan?

Hello, I along with my family plan on visiting Azerbaijan and trying to live in Baku for a few months, I was wondering the average cost of living for 4 people (3 adults and 1 infant), Rent, Food and some tourism here and there, I would really like some suggestions from Nationals from Azerbaijan.

I've seen lots of Armenians calling us Georgians traitors for this. What you think of our neutrality?

Salam!

I'm doing my Master's in Peace and Conflict Studies and am doing linguistic research of countries in the South Caucasus (super interesting part of the world!).

Does the Azerbaijani language have any sayings or words that reflect war, conflict, or peace?

I ask because neighboring Georgia uses words that reference the region's historical conflicts (for example, Georgians say "victory" for "hello" and "cheers"). I'm curious to see if Azeri has something similar?

Sağ ol!

I was scrolling through r/shia one day and soi saw someone from Azerbaijan post that many religious leaders have been arrested by the government as political prisinors,and i also read ashura processions are banned, and i know the country is seculer,and all but thst does not mean religious people,and seculer people cannot co-exist with each other so im asking is there another reason why religious practices are banned,and why religious leaders are put into prision

after submitting mine i went to submit my friend's and while i was uploading his picture (which was scanned normally) i realized mine was scanned vertically ...

is there any hope ? also can i reapply again immediately after ?

The Azerbaijani city that transcends the horizons and has the most beautiful nature of Azerbaijan.

They sell this as a chicken Doner kebab (which definitely isnt) and the price is nearly 5$. Taste pretty boring with just lettuce, cucumber, chicken meat with some hot sauce and mayonnaise for sauce. 5/10 definitely not worth it the nearby Indian and Iranian embassy have so much better food for half the price

Hello everyone! After living in Kuwait 🇰🇼 for 22 years, I’m excited to share that I will be relocating to azerbaijan 🇦🇿 with my family. I’ve recently completed my Bachelor's degree in the UK and have 2 years of experience as a junior software engineer and APP Developer 🧑🏻‍💻.

While leaving Kuwait, where I grew up, is bittersweet, I’m looking forward to the new opportunities and experiences that await us in Azerbaijan. If anyone has any advice on settling in Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 , or knows of job opportunities in the tech field, I’d love to connect!

Looking forward to this new chapter and to meeting people in the community!

NEED YOUR OPINION ESPECIALLY PEOPLE FROM BAKU

Travelling to Baku this week. Wanted to understand how's the weather looking like? Is it raining/snowing or sunny? Google weather shows it is cloudy but 0% precipitation and need to pack stuff accordingly!

Salam everyone!

Tourist here, visited Azerbaijan few days back and bought the famous Sheki Halva from Yahya Helvasi.

It had nice saffron fragrance, but it was easily the sweetest thing I have tasted.

Not sure if the authentic sheki halva is supposed to be super sweet. Would love to know from locals here!

Hello,

We plan to go on a day hike. We thought about taking a car to Qriz then we thought about asking locals for a drive to Xinaliq and hike back. Do you know about someone willing to transport us (2 adult men)? Do you guys think this is a good idea for a 1 day trip? What are the conditions on a trail currently (we plan to go on 4th of december)? Thank you for answers in advance!

İngilis dilindəki bəzi sözlər basic və advanced səviyyələrdə dəyişir (məs. big-enormous, small-miniscule, bad-atrocious, start-commence, və s.). Sizcə Azərbaycancada da bu tipli sözlər var?

Hey all looking for some guidance.
I am planning a trip to Baku in last week of December 24, I am going to have e-visa of Azerbaijan and Georgia prior to coming. I wanted to know what would be most affordable option for traveling from Azerbaijan to Georgia with some luggage. I would want to avoid taking flight as the rates I saw currently are on much higher side and would put substantial dent in my budget. I don't have US/Europe visa, I am an ordinary Indian passport holder.
TIA for all the help.
