Azeri Music and Dance

Winding musical instruments are often heard playing in the Guba-Khachmaz region and are often used by herdsmen. In the Khachmaz district they play an ancient pipe type named "ksul". This traditional musical instrument is made from reed. It is a cylindrical pipe with 6 openings.

Azeri Food and Drink

Azerbaijani food combines Turkish, Georgian and central Asian elements with lamb as the staple dish. If dining with a local host, visitors should be aware that going to restaurants is treated as much as an opportunity for competitive toasting as to eat and talk. Many restaurants, late-night bars and English-style pubs have opened in Baku, catering largely for the foreign business community and wealthy local business people.
