Description
Explore Baku’s Old City on a guided tour and visit the Multani and Bukhara caravanserai craft bazaars. Meet a local artisan and create your own ceramic piece during a pottery workshop.
Begin your experience at the main entrance of Baku’s Old City, where you will meet your guide and start a short walk through its historic streets.
Visit the Multani and Bukhara caravanserais—centuries-old buildings that once welcomed merchants traveling along the Silk Road. Today, these atmospheric spaces feature craft bazaars where you can discover locally made handicrafts, traditional artwork, ceramics, carpets, jewelry, and souvenirs.
Continue to the Dastan Traditional Art Center, a space dedicated to preserving and promoting Azerbaijan’s artistic heritage. Here, meet a local artisan and take part in a 1.5-hour traditional pottery masterclass.
The artisan will introduce you to the materials, techniques, and cultural traditions connected with Azerbaijani pottery. With step-by-step guidance, shape and decorate your own ceramic piece.
This experience offers more than a workshop—it is an opportunity to connect with Baku’s living heritage, meet local craftspeople, and create a personal memory of your visit to Azerbaijan.
