Baku tourism season

With temperatures ranging from 19°C to 27°C and a low chance of rain, June is the ideal time to visit Baku: a city that will be cooler and greener than Dubai over the sticky months. However, Baku also shares a fair few similarities with our city: the Azerbaijani capital was designated an Islamic Culture Capital in 2009 and multiple exciting additions continue to sprout rapidly on its skyline, such as the unmissable Dhs1.2 billion Flame Towers. Top of your to-do list should be wandering Fountain Square, The Boulevard and the city’s Old Town, as well as sampling caviar from Taza Bazaar: it offers some of the best in the world.

Also visit: Skies should be mostly blue from May to October.
Best for: Those after a fantastic break in a city fizzing with energy (sound familiar?).
