Two cold winds blow throughout Baku all year long: Khazri, or the cold northern winds, and Gilavar, or the warm southern winds. Because of this, the city of Baku has been dubbed as the City of Winds. Petroleum is the largest industry of Baku. Ancient oil fields known as Oil Stones are found in Baku, alongside their oil refineries and equipment production, among others.

My Unforgettable Baku Journey

I am Emily from Washington. My sister and I have been planning for a trip to Baku for years ever since we saw a Baku documentary online. When we were able to book a ticket, we were screaming with joy. We booked a ticket to Baku through Turkish Airlines. The staff were very accommodating, they even gave us tips on where to go in Baku. Once we reached the city of Baku, we went to various destinations such as Taza Pir Mosque, Baku Museum of Modern Art, and the Maiden Tower. The nightlife in Baku was also excitingly fun. Our ticket and other expenses were worth it. This has been one of the most unforgettable moments of my life. I am certainly going to book another ticket to Baku.

My ticket price to Baku

I am Ted from Ohio. Being a consistent top student in class, my mom and dad rewarded me with a ticket to Baku. It was so surreal since flying to Baku has been one of my goals in life. With our ticket and our luggage, we boarded Lufthansa airlines. The ride on the plane was comforting, I did not feel any pain during the flight. Upon arriving at Baku, we went straight to the Baku Boulevard to gaze at the Caspian Sea, which was the largest lake in the world. We also visited the several museums in Baku. Several buildings were very eccentric, I love them. It was unfortunate that we only got to spend a few days there. However, to say that our trip to Baku was awesome is an understatement. Hoping that my parents will reward me with another ticket back.
