The Republic of Azerbaijan is located on the southwestern part of the Caspian coast in the eastern part of Transcaucasia. The population of Azerbaijan is about 9.5 million people. The capital of the country is the city of Baku.

Since ancient times, such healing natural factors as volcanic mud, mud, various types of oil and water have been widely used in the region for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. For centuries, resorts in Azerbaijan exported medicinal oil through the Great Silk Road.

Scientific research into medicinal natural resources, which has been actively carried out since the beginning of the 19th century, has made it possible to call Azerbaijan a country with a large number of resorts.

During Soviet times, the resorts of Azerbaijan actively developed, many of them were included in the list of resorts of all-Union significance.

The Naftalan sanatorium, which is located in the capital of Azerbaijan, Baku, consists of two medical departments, one of which is combined with a residential building.

The peculiarity of this sanatorium is that it combines two unique methods of treatment - naphthalene therapy and halotherapy. Here, musculoskeletal disorders, urological, gynecological, neurological and dermatological diseases are treated through naphthalan baths in combination with physiotherapeutic procedures and massages. The second treatment direction involves a course of halotherapy in a room upholstered on the inside with blocks of salt rocks from the Duzdag caves.

They are complemented by electrophonophoresis, quartz treatment, amplipulse, solux, magnetotherapy, darsonvalization, laser therapy and other physiotherapeutic procedures.

Rest and treatment are excellent. But they put us old people on the 3rd floor, at the end of the corridor, in a corner room, without a refrigerator. But it can be tolerated. But when, due to the train schedule, we had to pay extra for two days, we were horrified. Accommodation, treatment and food in this room costs $22 or 1250 rubles. And it turns out that for our 16-day stay in Naftalan for 2 people it is 40,000 rubles, and we paid you 51,178 rubles. Overpayment of 11,178 rubles, is this how much your services cost for a booking? Our friends were accommodated in room 309 (ours was 302) and as new clients they also received a discount. We are very, very sorry that we contacted you. Now we advise all our friends to call directly to the sanatorium.

If you go for treatment, then the treatment is worth it. But, it is better to stock up on funds in order to take additional medical services (procedures). If we talk about the conditions themselves, they are terrible and evoke unpleasant memories from the half-destroyed SOVKA. There was nothing resembling what was stated in the picture when purchasing and booking the tour. It turns out there are old buildings and new buildings. In the old building, you will most likely be accommodated in a terrible cell "2*2" with a rusty toilet and a shower that pours directly onto the toilet. The staff is literally begging for money, this leaves the impression of a "milk cow". But, if you force yourself to accept these conditions as a given and focus on treatment, then everything is tolerable. Moreover, Russian people can only be surprised by a good attitude and a decent level of rest. But we are used to the bad - we have seen and passed through
