00:27Hoje, eu viajo a Azerbaiján para explorar a capital na costa do Caspian Sea.
00:35Salaam e bem-vindo a Bacu,
00:38A cidade com cultura e história,
00:41E misturando-se com modernidade.
00:44Meu viaje começa na cidade de Olde,
00:47A protegida, histórica área.
00:50Nós temos a reserva, que é chamada Ixar-e-Shahar.
00:54A tradução significa a cidade de interior.
00:56É o maior histórico histórico de Bacu.
01:00E quando diz isso de volta?
01:02De volta dos medievales, mas, na verdade,
01:05foi feita desde o Bronze Age.
01:07Na entrada é um antigo barco,
01:10onde os viajantes e os traders passaram atrás de longas camadas.
01:14Você vê dois domes?
01:16Eles foram rebuídos,
01:18Mas tudo o resto é zero, até o dom é original,
01:23400 anos.
01:24A casa de Bacu foi feita por mais de dois séculos,
01:27antes que o arqueológico descobriu o arqueológico.
01:32Muitas construídas na cidade de Olde
01:34brindem europeia e asianas,
01:36e tradicional balconia de bácones
01:39é comum em muitas casas.
01:42Nós chegamos à cidade de Medieval Market Square,
01:45que o arqueológico descobriu em 1964.
01:49Aqui você pode encontrar
01:51tombstones de medievales.
01:53Estas são statues.
01:55Aqui tem dois cruzes.
01:57O arqueológico descobriu o arqueológico.
01:59O arqueológico descobriu o século XII e XIII.
02:02Como o arqueológico descobriu o arqueológico.
02:16É extremamente destacado.
02:21O arqueológico descobriu o arqueológico.
02:23Tão de stones, é um dos maiores históricos históricos de Azerbaijão.
02:28A tower se tornou um museu em 1960,
02:32com exibições explorando a história sobre oito de 8 metros.
02:37O clima para o topo é muito bom, mas vale a pena para a vista.
02:44Na rua, nós visitamos o Museu Numismático,
02:47que é um museu em um exibição.
02:50A coleção mostra o histórico de Azerbaijão através de contas e contas.
02:56Eu até estou criando um conto.
02:59Eu seria tão riquei se tivesse isso.
03:02Eu poderia fazer meu próprio conto.
03:04É um lugar fascinante que mostra como as pessoas traduam sobre o século.
03:11O Old City tem sido um Unesco World Heritage Site desde 2000.
03:16Um dos históricos históricos é o Caravan Sarai.
03:21Você vê as ruas, são salas,
03:23então os mercantes usam para ficar lá,
03:25enquanto viajando pela Silk Road.
03:28Hoje, é um restaurante servindo a tradicional Azerbaijani cuisine,
03:33e eu estou olhando para provar os ingredientes locais.
03:36Em Azerbaijão, nós usamos muito de vegetais,
03:41porque nós temos diversas climáticas de Azerbaijão.
03:45e, portanto, a cozinha é riqueza.
03:48Centenas mais tarde,
03:50isso é ainda um lugar onde viajou podem restar e compartilhar a comida.
03:56O final stop é um palácio
03:58que antes era o centro da royalidade.
04:01Agora, nós estamos no palácio de Shirvan Shah.
04:04Este é um palácio de Cheruguay,
04:19que é um palácio de Azerbaijão,
04:33durante 7 séculos.
04:39Desde a cidade antiga, eu entro para explorar outro lado de Baku.
04:45Acabou em 2012, o Heidar Eliev Center ocorre artes explorando a história de Azerbaiján.
04:54Modern Baku é full de incrível arquitetura e também de incrível artes.
05:01Para o final stop, eu vou fazer a vista para tomar a vista.
05:06A vista de um ponto de vista é sempre worth a vista, e olhar para o Caspian Sea é extra
05:12especial.
05:16Baku's história é apenas uma parte da cidade.
05:20Para taste a modernidade, eu estou em Ritz-Carlton.
05:25O hotel tem 33 floors, e eu estou em uma de sua signature suites.
05:31É um espaço de um espaço separado de vivos e bastante de espaço para relaxar.
05:37Aqui, o views do centro é maravilhoso.
05:42Depois de explorar, eu join uma de um dos chefes de jardim para collectir ingredientes.
05:48There's everything from aubergines and chilies to fresh mint.
05:53So you have so many different things, even not just growing in the patches.
05:58You have trees.
06:00We have pomegranate trees, apple trees, pear trees, a lot of trees.
06:05With our ingredients picked, we head into the kitchen to make a traditional dish.
06:10Dolma is made by wrapping vine leaves around stuffing.
06:14For our filling, we're using minced lamb and mixed herbs.
06:18So now when the filling is ready, we will start to put into the vine leaves.
06:27Then wrap it nicely and put in the pot.
06:31This dish has been passed down through generations and I'm enjoying learning how it's made.
06:41That is so good.
06:43It's definitely a dish you have to try if you visit.
06:48My final stop is the hotel's spa, with its treatment rooms, hammams and indoor pool.
06:55I've booked myself in for a facial treatment and I'm looking forward to a little pampering.
07:01After a morning of trying new things, it feels good to relax and enjoy the moment.
07:10Along Azerbaijan's coast, there are plenty of beaches with easy access to Baku.
07:16I'm at Seabreeze Resort to discover some of the water activities on offer.
07:21Welcome to first private yacht club, Seabreeze Marina.
07:26Now we have a new sport where we can learn water sports like kite surfing, wing foiling, then subboarding and
07:35diving.
07:36This is incredible. It's so nice to see this. People don't expect this from Baku.
07:41In Baku, we all day, every day have a wind.
07:45Why we can make things like this?
07:47Seabreeze stretches along more than seven kilometers of Caspian coast.
07:52To explore further out, I'm boarding a privately chartered boat.
07:58Salaam, Captain.
08:00As we leave the resort behind, we head out onto the Caspian Sea, the world's largest inland body of water.
08:08It's a relaxing way to end an afternoon on the coast.
08:16On the other side of Baku lies Gobistan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where people lived thousands of years ago.
08:26Today, I'm visiting the museum to learn more about the people who left their mark here.
08:31Gobistan is a unique monument of prehistoric rock art.
08:36More than 7,000 rock images were found from Gobistan from five mountains.
08:41At the age of the Gobistan petroglyphs, it is approximately 20,000 years old.
08:4720,000 years old. This is incredible to get to see something like this.
08:53The museum helps you imagine the lives of people and animals that once lived here.
09:00Outside, the site covers more than five square kilometers of rocky landscape.
09:06As we explore, we come across some of the carvings.
09:11From here, we can see a boat image.
09:14And the age of the boat image belongs to Neolatikera.
09:18At the ancient time, people used boat for fishing and also for burial ceremonies.
09:23We continue towards the caves, where people once lived among these rocks.
09:29There are 20 caves that were found during the excavations.
09:33And this is the biggest cave, that it is called Anasagam, Mother Cave.
09:37Many of the carvings show animals and hunters.
09:41This one is a wild horse or kulan.
09:46Nearby, we find holes carved in the rock floor.
09:50Some of them people use for collecting the rainwater.
09:53Some of them people use it for collecting some plants, fruit.
09:57And some of them, they use for cooking.
09:59And that's why we say that this is the ancient kitchen of Gobistan.
10:03Gobistan combines an epic landscape with a remarkable history.
10:11A short distance away is another landscape that feels like the surface of the moon.
10:18Azerbaijan is home to hundreds of mud volcanoes.
10:22I've come to the mud volcanoes tourism complex to take a look.
10:27Inside, there are animal skeletons from Azerbaijan and around the world.
10:33Many of the species on display still live in the wild today.
10:38The museum also has a collection of rocks and minerals.
10:42We have two circles of stone.
10:46First circle, that's the stones which formed after activity of mud volcano.
10:52But second circle, that's the stones which we found on the territory of Azerbaijan Republic.
11:00The collection includes amethysts, quartz and turquoise, along with many other minerals.
11:06Inside of one of the stones, we have something about 20 micro-elements.
11:15The site covers 120,000 metres and the views are striking.
11:22These natural formations build up over time as gas and water rise from underground.
11:30As the gas escapes, it creates bubbles in the mud which settle on the surface.
11:36It's fascinating to see the ground slowly changing in front of us.
11:43Azerbaijan truly has so much to offer, from the incredible culture in Baku to these amazing mud volcanoes.
11:53But now, time for my next adventure.
