Is BAKU, Azerbaijan The Next DUBAI?

In today's episode, we leave the Azerbaijani countryside and head for the big city. The capital of Baku has been dubbed by many as "the next Dubai," and we were intrigued to find out if there was any truth to this. What did we think?🤭

Come along for a crazy and fun adventure in arguably one of the most up-and-coming city destinations around the world, right on the Caspian Sea🌊

We are Oskar & Dan, two boys from Sweden who decided to change the course of our lives, drop out of university, and live life full-time. We're trying to see and learn as much about the world as possible while we're young! Right now, we are attempting to visit 100 countries before the end of 2022🌍 Check our YouTube About page for more details👨🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻

We started out Azerbaijan trip with a road trip across the country to Sheki, before heading down to Gobustan and ending the trip in the capital Baku.

Baku is not even comperable to Dubai. It has lots of things that Dubai doesn’t have. Baku has history, culture, atmosphere, vibe, good climate and much more. Baku is not artificial. Baku has a soul❤️

[larsstougaard]

[jamesharris]

[cristinabb]

Yes, it looks very European...i didn t expect that! It also looks clean and civilized!

[AykaAngelina]

Welcome to Azerbaijan ❤️
Guests are always welcome. Thank you very much for the video.
Actually Baku is not Dubai. Baku is an Old city and has a very rich Architecture, which makes it more European, and the new buildings are reminiscent of Dubai.
Azerbaijan itself is located in the Caucasus, between Eastern Europe and Western Asia. But we call ourselves simply the Caucasus, and Caucasian Country.

[nahidgahramanov]

Azerbaijan has buildings and monuments with an ancient history 😍🇦🇿

Ohh I miss Baku ♥️ the tastiest veggies, fruits & meat!! the basil growing in Azerbaijan is different from the traditional green one. It has purple- red colour and tastes a little different.

[MrJamil]

AZERBAIJAN - definitely is one of the most beautiful, sincere, and warmest country in the world!

[ayxanyusifli]

Прошу вас никогда не сравнивайте Баку с Дубаем.Баку это живой старый и калоритный город с красками в отличии от песчаного и жаркого бездушного Дубая.без обид

[illuminator]

Comparing Baku with Dubai is not entirely correct.
Dubai has nothing to offer other than high-rise buildings in the form of boxes. The city is gray and monotonous, while Baku has a rich historical and cultural background and a variety of magnificent architecture.

[saraa]

[saqartvelo]
