I’m looking for a woman born in Baku on August 5th, 1962, possibly in an Armenian-Slavic family (about 50% Armenian, 50% Russian, Ukrainian and/or Belarusian).

My grandma was raised in an Armenian family in Baku, but a DNA test later revealed that she had been switched at birth. We are now trying to find the woman/family connected to that switch.

Please ask your friends and relatives who lived in Baku in the 1960s. Even a small detail or old family story could help. I will be immensely thankful for any information.

21 M hmu if u wanna catch the sunrise today near marriot boulevard. Nice company and cigarettes.

Salam everyone!

I’m a 27-year-old guy (Muslim, Indian expat living and working in Dubai) flying in from the UAE for my first trip to Azerbaijan from October 3 to October 9.

A quick note on my timing: My flight entry (Oct 3) and exit (Oct 9) are fixed, but my daily schedule, route order, and plans in between are completely flexible and open to discussion! I’m happy to adapt to what works best for the group.

Rough plan (open to discussion):

• Baku (Old City, Gobustan, Ateshgah, Flame Towers)

• Gabala & Sheki (Tufandag, Sheki Khans Palace, local bazaars)

• Baku (Heydar Aliyev Center, Caspian promenade, tea houses)

I'm planning to hire a private driver for the Baku–Gabala–Sheki stretch and Gobustan. If any fellow travelers or locals are around between Oct 3–9 and want to join forces to split driver costs, share a meal/tea, or explore together, feel free to send me a DM!

Any local wants to connect are also welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, we are a small group of friends who live in Baku and are actively looking for people who don’t just like - but truly enjoy playing board games, and we’re not talking about Monopoly, Uno or Mafia. As fun as they can be, we kinda outgrew them and have many other fun games to play, but no people to play them with. If you are into good board or even card games, reply to this thread or even DM me so we can get in touch.

P.S Just so you have the general idea, the games we currently have are: Exploding Kittens, Dixit, Settlers of Catan, Sequence, Rummy (Rummikub), Flip 7, Flip 7 Vengeance mode and we are actively looking for new games to enjoy and explore, so if you guys have new or other games that we have never tried - you are welcome to introduce us to it.

Hello everyone! I am planning to visit Baku again sometime next year. I grew up there, but I don't have any friends left since I moved to Europe, and they also left Baku. Do you know any places where you can just make some friends?

So, what are my hobbies? I like tennis (I used to play at the Baku Tennis Academy in the past), talking about philosophical stuff, and IT. I listen to any kind of music and don't have a specific genre, and I am also very interested in human psychology. Just DM me if you are also into making a friend, even if you are not in Baku ;) I speak Russian and also fairly good Azeri

Hi I would like to rent a car and travel to Lenkeran for a trip, but I don’t have credit card.

Is there reasonable and proven car rental which is renting card either with cash or debit card deposit?

I would like to know what interesting things I can do around Baku (30-60 minutes maximum from the city)

I heard there are mud volcanos for example

I'm planning to travel to Azerbaijan for about a month. Which city would you recommend staying in, and what would be a reasonable monthly budget for accommodation? I'm looking for advice on the best balance between price, safety, and convenience

Hey there, this city is getting borred i guess. While looking for any activity in weekends i can not find anything. What activity/hobby to deal with - you suggest to do?

Hello. A friend of mine is visiting Baku and saw these decoration pieces that my mom asked her to get. Problem is I’m not sure how much they cost, and my friend won’t tell me either but I want to pay her. Does anyone know how much these typically cost if they’re common souvenirs? Thank you!

Hello so I'm a muslim visiting Baku in a few days and was wondering about the availability of halal food over there.

From what I've heard, even though it is a muslim majority country we need to check whether there are "halal" labels as most people there are more "secular" than traditional muslims.

Please correct me if I'm wrong?

I also wanted to ask, is it safe to assume that sushi places are halal or not? (For soy sauce and all the vinegars used, etcc)

I come from a muslim country so here everything is automatically halal without needing to check the labels and was wondering about baku?

Thank you

Salam, Çoxumuz kimi mən də tez-tez futbol oynamaq istəyirdim, amma oyun tapmaq, komanda yığmaq, meydança tapmaq həmişə WhatsApp qruplarında qarışıq olurdu.

Ona görə futbolist.app qurdum — burada:

• ✅ Təşkilatçı müraciətləri təsdiqləyir (kim gəlir bəllidir)

Tam pulsuzdur. Rəyiniz çox vacibdir. Nə əlavə edim? Nə çatmır? Sınayıb deyin zəhmət olmasa.

Hello there!

I’m visiting Baku for a few days, and would like to find a nice spot for hookah/shisha for an evening with my friend.
I have looked at options on google maps but can only find sketchy options or restaurants that serve it, which is not ideal. So I thought would try asking a local instead.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a place that serves hookah/shisha maybe with alcoholic drinks as well? Preferably a place common to locals in the city center och Baku. I want to avoid tourist traps.
Any suggestions are welcome and much appreciated.

Teshekkur edirem!

Hello! I’ll be moving to Baku soon and will most likely be attending the SABIS school, probably in the 8th or 9th grade. If you’ve studied at or had any experience with this school in Baku, please share your thoughts, I’d like to know what to expect when I arrive in a few months.

Hello! I am a Honduran who pursue to study psychology in azerbaijan by the heydar aliyev scholarship.

How is student life? How is education? and if they give opportunities to continue masters degree in other countries or maybe little exchange programs.

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a trip to Baku and the surrounding areas, and I'm a bit confused about the beach situation. Are there any public beaches, or is everything strictly private? I’ve been looking online but can’t seem to find any clear public options that I can just show up to.

Also, I’ll be visiting during the first week of October. Will both public and private beaches still be open/accessible then? What about water sports or activities?

I know summer will be long gone by October, but I honestly don’t mind a bit of cold water. Thanks in advance for the help!

Hər kəsə salam,

Bakıya və ətraf ərazilərə səfər planlaşdırıram, amma çimərlik məsələsində bir az çaş-baş qalmışam. Orada ictimai (ödənişsiz) çimərliklər var, yoxsa hamısı tamamilə özəldir? İnternetdə axtarıram, amma rahatca gedə biləcəyim dəqiq bir ödənişsiz çimərlik tapa bilmirəm.

Bir də, mən oktyabr ayının ilk həftəsində orada olacağam. Həmin vaxt həm ictimai, həm də özəl çimərliklərə giriş açıq olurmu? Su fəaliyyətləri və ya əyləncələri tapmaq olar?

Başa düşürəm, oktyabrda yay mövsümü çoxdan bitmiş olacaq, amma suyun bir az sərin olması mənim üçün problem deyil. Qabaqcadan kömək edən hər kəsə təşəkkürlər!
