Apart from your friend’s talk about the Baku entertainment and interesting presentations about local customs and traditions prepared by born and bred Azerbaijani girls from the Warsaw University, we are going to offer you a feast for your body and soul. You are going to listen to beautiful Azeri songs. You are also going to have a chance to find out about the sound of tar – one of the oldest musical instruments. Traditions connected with this instrument are so precious that since 2012 they have had the UNESCO immaterial heritage status.
Food is a very important element of Azerbaijani culture and prolonged feasts at the family table are heart and soul of their traditions. Cooks from Azerbaijan are going to prepare flavoury and delicious pilaf specially for you. The meal would be incomplete without a popular dessert – baklava (consisting of nuts and honey squeezed between thin layers of pastry) We can assure that it is impossible to resist it. Baklava goes perfectly with tea which is going to be served aplenty. In Azerbaijan tea is a symbol of hospitality.
