Azerbaijan: A New Exotic Golf Destination
Azerbaijan has been a significant place in the history of the great silk route. It was once an important stopover for the people traveling from east to west and vice versa for trade, cultural exchange, and other reasons. Azerbaijan is the place where the east meets the west. This is a country in the Caucasus region and a popular travel destination. But you need to decide what excites you the most about a place apart from obvious activities such as sightseeing. Dook International keeps giving you fresh reasons to explore a place and with this spirit, we recently organized a Golf Tour to Azerbaijan for a group of 12 people for 5 nights from 25th August to 30th August 2019.
