Azerbaijan — officially the Republic of Azerbaijan — sits on the western shore of the Caspian Sea and is the largest country in the Caucasus, straddling Asia and Europe. It is a mountainous land where only about 7% of the territory is arable, bordered by Russia and Georgia to the north, Armenia to the west and Iran to the south. With an Azerbaijan visit visa in hand, travellers from Pakistan can experience its spectacular landscapes first-hand.
