How to Dial an Azerbaijani Number
Azerbaijan's country code is +994. Baku landline numbers start with 12. The three mobile operators use these prefixes: Azercell uses 50 and 51, Bakcell uses 55, and Nar Mobile uses 70 and 77.
When dialling internationally, drop the leading zero. A Baku landline 012 345 67 89 becomes +994 12 345 67 89. A mobile number 050 123 45 67 becomes +994 50 123 45 67. Type the full number starting with +994 on the Give a Ring dial pad — the rate will appear under the number before you call.
🇦🇿 Surprising & Funny Facts About Azerbaijan
The Land of Eternal Fire
Azerbaijan literally means "Land of Fire" in ancient Persian — and it earns the name. At Yanardag ("Burning Mountain") just outside Baku, natural gas seeps through the hillside and has been burning continuously for thousands of years with no human intervention. Marco Polo wrote about these flames in the 13th century. Locals once cooked their meals on them, effectively enjoying free hob cooking courtesy of geology.
Chess Superpower, Population 10 Million
Azerbaijan has won the Chess Olympiad three times in the open category — an extraordinary achievement for a country of just 10 million people. Garry Kasparov, widely considered the greatest chess player of all time, was born in Baku. Azerbaijanis joke that chess is effectively a second state language, and that failing to teach your child to play is socially equivalent to not teaching them to read.
The Pomegranate Capital of the World
The city of Goychay holds an annual International Pomegranate Festival where local varieties — some grown from trees centuries old — compete for the title of best in the world. Azerbaijani pomegranate juice is a matter of national pride. Legend holds that the pomegranate was first cultivated in what is now Azerbaijan, which the Azerbaijanis consider less a legend and more a straightforward historical fact.
The World's First Oil Industry
Oil was extracted near Baku as far back as the 7th century, and the world's first industrial oil well was drilled here in 1846 — a full 13 years before the famous Pennsylvania well that Americans typically credit with starting the oil age. By the late 19th century, Baku was producing half the world's oil supply. The profits built an entire district of ornate "oil baron mansions" that still line the Baku seafront today.
The World's Lowest Capital City
Baku sits 28 metres below sea level, making it the lowest-lying national capital on Earth — and the largest city in the world located below sea level. The city is also one of the windiest capitals anywhere: its very name may derive from the Azerbaijani words for "city beaten by wind." Between the below-sea-level location and the constant gusts, Baku has committed fully to being a geographical overachiever.
Nine Climate Zones in One Country
Despite being smaller than Austria, Azerbaijan contains 9 of the world's 11 climate zones. Within a few hours' drive you can move from subtropical beaches on the Caspian Sea to alpine ski resorts, from semi-desert landscapes to dense temperate forests. The country apparently couldn't decide which climate to have and opted for all of them — which makes Azerbaijan unusually difficult to pack for.
🗺️ What Are the Best Places to Visit in Azerbaijan?
Baku — Where Centuries Collide
The walled Old City (Icherisheher) — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — contains the 12th-century Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, and sits a five-minute walk from the futuristic Flame Towers, whose LED façades mirror the Caspian Sea at night. Baku is one of very few cities on Earth where medieval and 21st-century architecture genuinely compete for the same skyline.
Yanardag — The Burning Hillside
Twenty-five kilometres from Baku, natural gas erupts from a hillside and has been burning for millennia — wind and rain cannot extinguish it. Zoroastrians once travelled here to pray, treating the flames as sacred. Today it is a national nature reserve and one of the most genuinely unusual natural phenomena you will ever witness. It looks like a special effect. It is not.
Sheki — The Pearl of the Caucasus
The Khan's Palace in Sheki is decorated entirely with coloured stained-glass windows called shebeke — assembled without a single nail or drop of glue, using only interlocking wood and glass. Sheki is also the silk capital of Azerbaijan and the home of its most celebrated pastry, the Sheki halva. The town itself is so photogenic it feels like it was built for a period film set.
Shahdag — World-Class Skiing
A modern mountain resort in the Greater Caucasus, just four hours from Baku, with Austrian-engineered lifts, slopes for all skill levels, and a snow park. In summer the same mountains become a hiking destination with views across peaks that reach above 4,000 metres. The contrast between Baku's subtropical coast and Shahdag's alpine snowpack — reachable in a single day — still surprises first-time visitors.
The Caspian Coast
Azerbaijan's long coastline on the Caspian Sea — the world's largest enclosed body of water — offers beaches from Nardarran to Nabran. The resort town of Naftalan is famous for a peculiarly Azerbaijani cure: bathing in crude oil, which is officially prescribed as a medical treatment for certain joint conditions. It works, apparently. No one is entirely sure why.
Gobustan — Petroglyphs and Mud Volcanoes
Sixty kilometres from Baku, a UNESCO-listed national park holds rock carvings up to 40,000 years old and the world's densest concentration of mud volcanoes — around 400 of them, which is roughly a third of all mud volcanoes on the entire planet. The landscape looks convincingly like the surface of Mars. NASA has studied it. The mud volcanoes are harmless, slow-bubbling, and deeply strange.
