Azerbaijan Offroad

Hi Folks,

most of the travellers are just passing through to the ferry to Kazachstan or coming from there. Rarely people staying there. We DID 3,5 weeks driving a loop in the country from Georgia and back.

We have sevveral video cameras with us and made a series of 4 short episodes of it with sights and offroading. Azerbaijan is really worth a visit.

Thanks for sharing. I spend most of my three weeks in Azerbaidjan in Baku beer... anyway I know the tourist brochure says differently, but Azerbaidjan is NOT in Europe ... :innocent:

It should be noted that the entire concept of Europe being a separate continent from Asia is purely political, a legacy of Greek prejudice towards the Persians.

Eurasia is the continent. If we were going to split Eurasia, the first candidate for a boundary would be the Suleiman / Hindukush / Karakoram / Himalayas Mountain arc. Hence the name Indian Sub-continent.

So the definition of Europe is more arbitrary than scientific.

But in principal I would agree that Azerbaijan is not a European country.

Nice trip BTW - I only visited Azerbaijan in the days when one was limited to a 72 hour transit. I liked the country as a whole, super friendly people. Didn't like Baku at all but thought the smaller towns were nice. My favourite place was definitely Nakhchivan... check out Ordubad if you haven't already :)
