"Ali and Nino" Top 5 Page for this destination Azerbaijan Favorite Tip by Minashka

Favorite thing: If you're preparing to come to Azerbaijan and would like to know more about the culture and the people here, then I recommend getting a copy of "Ali and Nino" book by Kurban Said. Written at the turn of the century, this book gives you a real insight to Azeri culture, its traditions and tells you a lot about the history of this land besides offering you a wonderful love story between an Azeri young man and a Georgian girl.
The book has been translated into English and is available at Barnes and Noble or thru Amazon.com

Fondest memory: After reading the book, you can actually get a "Ali and Nino" tour offered by Fuad Akhundov - the best guide of Baku. I have a phone number for him if you're interested... You would love the tour, however, since it involves mostly the Old City and the buildings just outside of it.
