Visiting The Village of Kish & its Mysterious Church 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan Travel
On my last day in sheki I decided to visit a local village so I found a series of rickety old marshrutkas to take me there and visit the famous Albanian temple (Caucasian Albania - a historic state in this region, no relationship to Balkan Albania) I enjoyed the rawness of the village and the scenery, and also got my sunset view at the end of the day followed by some delicious food 😊

Exploring Sheki, Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 Beautiful Scenery & Trying Local Foods
zhlédnutí 90Před 2 hodinami
I wanted to try and spend as little money as possible after a somewhat expensive first day in sheki, so I decided to try and find some free things to do. I found an interesting monument, beautiful scenery and a free museum. I also wanted to try a very traditional local dish which was a really interesting experience. 🐭🐭🐭 Links: Instagram - pokie.mouse?igsh=YTN4Y3U1MzV5OGJi& Want to...
Beautiful SHEKI 🇦🇿 Azerbaijan's Historic Mountain Town

I love scenic mountain towns, so when I heard about Sheki I knew I had to go there. it's a 6hour bus ride from Baku, and there's so much to see there including the unesco world heritage site - sheki fortress. In this video I take myself on a little tour of a few of the historic sights! More to come from Sheki very soon :) 🐭🐭🐭 Links: Instagram - pokie.mouse?igsh=YTN4Y3U1MzV5OGJi& W...

Quba & The Red Village, A Historic Jewish Settlement 🇦🇿
zhlédnutí 122Před 14 dny
I took a minibus from baku to quba because I wanted to visit the historic "Red Village" - said to be one of the worlds only exclusively jewish settlements. I learnt about the history of the mountain jews in the area via the awesome museum there. You can visit this place via a day trip from Baku so I would recommend doing that. 🐭🐭🐭 Links: Instagram - pokie.mouse?igsh=YTN4Y3U1MzV5OG...
Why Azerbaijan is Known As The “Land of Fire" 🔥 🇦🇿
zhlédnutí 114Před 14 dny
Azerbaijan has long been dubbed the land of fire - and I wanted to find out why. The country’s history with this concept dates back more than 3000 years to the time when Zoroastrianism was prevalent here. The country sits on huge reserves of oil and gas too, creating naturally burning fires , around which temples were built. In this video I visit a Zoroastrian temple and a burning mountain 🔥 🐭🐭...

After my little visa mishap I finally arrived in Baku. I'd heard that the city was a really interesting contrast of old and new, and in this video I wanted to show you guys as much as possible.

    I suspect any sugar you have is burnt off pretty well with all the walking you are doing. At times the places you visit (certainly at the start of this video) look like ghost towns... I assume everyone is at work?

    I'll have to send this to my Jewish friends; might be an aspect of their international community that they are unaware of. It was news to me though I did know that there was a country in that general area in the early middle ages in which the aristocracy were Jewish [the Khazar State]. Their descendants seem to have survived in the Red Village.

  • @lynnb_and_ky_springer_spaniel

    Oh gosh, I am so sorry you had another bad experience Nimi; you did right to get out of there and back to where you know. A lovely tour around Baku. The palace was super interesting and the artist's workshop looked so cool with all those weird and wonderful oddities. I'm always wary ordering fish because tackling bones is not my cup of tea. It's good to experiment with different things then you know for next time ;-) Thank you for sharing this with us Nimi and we're looking forward to the next one 🥰

I seem to remember that one of the countries that produced that type of stunning hand-made rugs classified them partly based on how many years it took the creators to hand-stitch [hand-loom?] them.
