About this experience
Shopping while traveling can bring as much joy as exploring sights or dining at a delicious restaurant. This excursion combines all three pleasures. Join me to navigate the largest shopping center 'Sederek' and learn about the features of Muslim architecture and wonders along the Caspian Sea.
What to expect
Sederek Shopping City
In addition to the historical and architectural heritage, one of the undeniable advantages of Azerbaijan's capital is its advantageous shopping opportunities. Within 20 minutes from Baku, we will reach the largest shopping center 'Sederek' - a city within a city that is even visible from space. Here, you can buy almost everything, from clothing and shoes to high-quality fur coats (at a good price) and traditional carpets. I will help you find the necessary goods, navigate (it's easy to get lost in the 'Sederek' mazes), and bargain - especially useful when the sellers do not speak Russian.
Bibi-Heybat Mosque
On the way back, you will visit one of the significant monuments of Muslim architecture in Azerbaijan - the beautiful Bibi-Heybat Mosque. You will learn about its tragic fate and the history behind its name. From the mosque's observation deck, you will see the 'oil artery' of the city - the Bibi-Heybat Bay. I will tell you the story of this project, which once only lagged behind the Panama Canal and is now comparable to the Palm Islands of Dubai.
Fish Restaurant and New Baku Boulevard
Afterward, we will enjoy a delicious lunch at a fish restaurant by the Caspian Sea, considered the best in terms of price and quality. The excursion will end with a walk in the new part of the Baku Boulevard, where you can take a ride on the 'Baku Eye' Ferris wheel and see the luxurious Crystal Hall, built for Eurovision, and the largest flag of Azerbaijan.
