Sources minérales de Sirab, located near the Nakhchivan city in Azerbaijan's exclave territory, are naturally carbonated bicarbonate springs whose refreshing, effervescent water is bottled and distributed widely across the region. Sirab's carbogazeous mineral water is comparable in character to famous European sparkling mineral waters and has been scientifically studied for its digestive and tonic properties. The springs emerge from a geologically complex zone of the Nakhchivan tectonic depression, and Sirab water is deeply embedded in the daily life and culinary culture of Azerbaijan's southwestern exclave.

Insider tip — The Sirab mineral springs in Nakhchivan are celebrated in Azerbaijan as among the finest naturally carbonated bicarbonate waters in the South Caucasus, effervescing cold at 18°C from the volcanic terrain of this isolated exclave. The water is prized for drinking cures for digestive and metabolic conditions and is bottled commercially under the Sirab brand. The surrounding landscape of semi-arid hills and ancient Silk Road ruins underscores the site's long history of human use. The cool temperature makes Sirab more of a drinking spring than a bathing experience, best visited alongside a tour of Nakhchivan's remarkable hilltop fortresses.
