I was in awe to see how naan was cooked traditionally in one of the restaurants we visited in Old City of Baku, Alzerbaijan🇦🇿
Naan is leavened flatbread prepared with all-purpose flour, wheat flour or a combination of both. Traditionally, it is cooked in a tandoor .
Tandoor is hot clay oven, that uses charcoal or wood fire to develop heat up to 900F.
Naan often stuck to the inside of the oven on the sides, which then creates air pockets and bakes them to fluffy perfection, but these days oven-baked naan bread is quite popular.
It is often served as a side dish to curries and other main meals. #CelebrateWithTrip

Baku, the capital and commercial hub of Azerbaijan, is a low-lying city with coastline along the Caspian Sea. It's famed for its medieval walled old city, which contains the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, a vast royal complex, and the iconic stone Maiden Tower. Contemporary landmarks include the Zaha Hadid–designed Heydar Aliyev Center, and the Flame Towers, 3 pointed skyscrapers covered with LED screens.
Baku is a city known for its historical and modern architecture at the same time. Walking down the streets of Baku is a great experience and each street leads to 2 world-class buildings and attractions called Flame Towers

Heydar Aliyev International Airport in Baku, is one of the six international airports serving Azerbaijan. It has a very unique design and I was totally in awe the moment I stepped my foot here.
FYI… You need to apply e-visa to visit this country.

architecture
Architecture and urban planning in Baku reflect the legacy of the Soviet Union, which Azerbaijan belonged to until 1991. Since independence, the country’s government has invested in modernizing the city’s infrastructures. The new Heydar Aliyev Center is part and parcel of this urban renewal and aspires to become the main impulse of cultural programs in the region at large. With its dominant undulating forms, the design of the building breaks with the rigid and monumental Soviet architecture typical of Azerbaijan’s capital, to draw inspiration from aspects of Azeri culture, such as, for example, the geometry of its calligraphy. It thus has a succession of curves sending a message of optimism and progress to a nation steep in the process of development. With the intention of creating a fluid space in the entire project, a square takes in the building to stretch on and become a spacious public foyer, which, in turn, welcomes visitors and spreads them out within the over 100,000 square meters of the program dominated by an auditorium and a museum. Digital tools were used to materialize the complex volumetric scheme, making it possible not only to systematize manufacturing processes but also to monitor the whole evolution of the work. Outstanding, too, is the lighting, which at nightfall makes the building all the more spectacular, emphasizing the continuity between exterior and interior.

Baku is a capital of the Republic of Azerbaijan. It is one of the largest industrial, scientific and cultural center not only of the country, as well as in the entire region. It is a major port on the west coast of the Caspian Sea, in the southern part of the Absheron Peninsula.
Baku new symbols. First, it is Flame Towers («Tower of Fire”) widely replicated around the world during the broadcasting “Eurovision” song contest and consisting of three towers. In addition, ultramodern concert complex Crystal Hall where “Eurovision” song contest has been actually conducted is well-known around the world.
Finally, I should mention the famous Heydar Aliyev Center - a complex structure that includes a convention center, a museum, a library and a park area of 9 hectares. This building has been designed by the famous female architect Zaha Hadid, the Discovery Channel produced the film series “Mega Structures”.
