About this tour
Explore something new!!! Balakhani - it is where the world’s first modern oil well was dug in 1873. With its old cobler streets and historical sites, the central streets of Balakhani have special charm. Throughout the village you’ll notice little artistic touches, whether it be a row of colourful birdhouses, a sculpture depicting a scene from the famous movies, or uplifting wall paintings, all of which are the handiwork of local artists.

- Reach the Balakahin village and start the tour with exploring ovdan. - Enter in Ovdan. This 40 underground stairsteps Ovdan, was built in the 14th century by order of King (Shakh) Shirvanshah Emir Khaja Zeynaddin. It is believed that after the construction of the Sand Bath, the first periods were supplied with water taken from Ovdan.
- Take a look to the architectural style of Sand Bath`s remains - Imagine how looks like the bath 500 years ago! This unique bath consists of 2 main and 16 small rooms. Heating systems were set up in the bath. Wastewater flowed out of the walls through specially designed trenches. The bath is not high, and it seems to be designed to keep the heat inside.
- Discover the old local cemetery.

Local artists and residents have worked in synergy to transform Balakhani into an open-air gallery.
- Enter to small Caranavansarai of XII century - Shah Sefi's Caravanserai on its plan represents an elongated rectangle with an aspect ratio of approximately 1:3. The caravanserai has its entrance oriented to the north-east. The elongated room inside is divided into three parts by the shoulder blades with a significant protrusion. The blades from one wall of the room of a lancet arch pass to the opposite side by dividing the space into three parts eliminating its unpleasant corridor shape.
- Have a lunch or some tea (expenses are not included) - There’s lula kebab, a succulent medley of minced mutton, herbs and spices squeezed around a skewer and barbecued; translucent lavash bread; and a fragrant lamb pulao with melting meat and caramelised onions, its umami offset with raisins and apricots. All is washed down with a Cornelian cherry compote, the ambrosial sweet beverage integral to Azerbaijan’s
- Tour is ended. Return to Baku.
