Welcome to Baku International Airport and Transfer to hotel. Free time
Icheri Sheher (Old City), the historical center of Baku, is where most traditional street festivities take place. Though early in the morning, the narrow streets are full of people. Tents are set up to offer souvenirs and picture opportunities in national costumes. Families are standing in lines by the manghals, enveloped in kebab smoke. A stage stands in front of the Maiden Tower6for dance performances, and crowds are eager for the show to start. Something looks different though, something right in front of our eyes. A square behind Gosha Gala Gapi, the main city gates, has become a fairground with a traditional Novruz wrestling show. Too many odd things are for sale, mostly items that have nothing to do with Novruz, such as Indian scarves and extravagantly bushy choban hats.
