MY GUESTS FROM DRESDEN, GERMANY

Arrive in Mingachevir (depending on starting point).

Start with a riverside walk along the Kura River promenade. Relax, take photos, soak in the local ambiance.

Visit nearby historic/heritage spots: e.g., the German POW cemetery or older architecture in the city centre that show German-style apartment blocks.

Midday:

Lunch at a local restaurant, preferably by the water, sampling Azerbaijani dishes (for example fresh fish from the reservoir area).

After lunch, take a boat ride on the reservoir or a short cruise to enjoy water/mountain views.

Afternoon:

Visit a museum or archaeological site: according to sources, Mingachevir has ancient settlement finds and historical interest.

Alternatively, if the guests prefer nature: do some bird-watching (if season fits) around wetlands/reservoir.

Evening:

Sunset along the lake is especially pretty.

Dinner with local cuisine; then maybe a walk along the harbour/boardwalk.

Optionally stay overnight in Mingəçevir if time allows.
