  to the Caucasus

The Caucasus is not only gray mountains with ancient villages scattered along the slopes. There are also very young cities that were founded in the last century. So Izberbash, located on the shores of the Caspian Sea, cannot boast of ancient monuments. But its surroundings are rich in natural beauty, and in the city itself you can feel an extraordinary atmosphere and, of course, the famous Caucasian hospitality.

Izberbash can hardly be called a tourist city, but perhaps this is its advantage. There are no annoying street barkers, food of dubious quality and other, not the best attributes of a holiday in the south of Russia.

Story

Izberbash was founded in 1932 as a settlement for oil workers who came to work in the offshore fields of the Caspian Sea.
By the way, it was here that a comprehensive method of oil production using trestles and drilling offshore wells not from the platform, but from the shore was first used. The active development of the city is evidenced by the dynamics of its population: if in 1959 11 thousand people lived in Izberbash, then in 2015 - almost 57.

Izberbash was built in a very convenient location: on the spacious Caspian lowland between the Caspian Sea and the Izberg-Tau mountain, 65 km from Makhachkala.

Climate

The climate of Izberbash is transitional from temperate semiarid to subtropical semi-arid[6]. The climate is strongly influenced by the Caspian Sea, due to which autumn is long and warm, and spring comes with a delay. Winters are mild, snow lasts only two weeks a year, the coldest month is usually February. Summer is long and hot[7].

The average annual temperature in Izberbash is positive: +12.7°C, the average monthly temperature in January is +0.8°C (minimum -17°C), the average monthly temperature in July is +24.0°C (maximum +37.7°C). The duration of the warm period is 270 days. Precipitation averages 260 mm per year; the rainiest month is October (46 mm)[8]. The average annual relative air humidity is 69.5%, the average wind speed is 5.0 m/s.

Where to stay

The vast majority of tourists visiting Izberbash go to the Priboi tourist center. The base has cozy rooms of varying degrees of comfort. Each room has air conditioning, TV, refrigerator, and Wi-Fi. “Priboy” has its own beach, next to which there are gazebos, sun loungers, a bar, sports grounds, catamaran and boat rentals. Cost of a double room: 2200 RUB per day.

There are also several small hotels in the city: “Caspian”, “Izberbash”, “Cassiopeia”. Accommodation cost: 1500-4000 RUB per day.

Entertainment and attractions

As in any more or less large city, there is a Museum of Local Lore in Izberbash. Although it received this status relatively recently, in 2001. Before that, for more than 30 years, the museum worked exclusively on a voluntary basis, thanks to the employees of the regional department of culture.

Today, the funds of this institution include more than 3,200 exhibits. Some of them are presented in the exhibition halls and tell about the history and development of Izberbash. The museum's departments are dedicated to the Great Patriotic War and its veterans, natives of Dagestan, honored people who worked in the post-war years. Part of the exhibition is dedicated to ancient settlements that were once located on the site of today's Izberbash.

Another stronghold of culture in the city is the Dargin Drama Theater, which stages both classical performances and plays by Dagestan playwrights.

In Izberbash there is a public bath with water from a local hydrogen sulfide spring, which has healing properties and helps get rid of skin and gastrointestinal diseases. The bathhouse is divided into men's and women's, and there are comfortable changing rooms.

By the way, Izberbash is translated from Kumyk as “Trace of one head.” Most likely, the meaning of these words indicated the border position of the city. However, next to Izberbash there really is a head, or rather its silhouette. A number of Izberg-Tau rocks, overlapping each other, are very similar to the silhouette of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin.

According to legend, such a striking similarity was first noticed by the writer Alexandre Dumas, who visited these places during his trip to the Caucasus.

Recreational infrastructure

The main beach of Izberbash is located at the end of Ushakova Street. It is quite long (about 3 kilometers long) and quite wide (200 meters wide). The local sand has a fine-grained structure, mixed in places with shells. Natural stone ridges act as natural breakwaters and protect the beach quite well from surge waves[9]. There are usually no storms or hurricanes in the Izberbash area. The depth of the sea also decreases gradually: the sea reaches a depth of 1.5 m approximately 70 meters from the coastline[10].

The beach has all the necessary infrastructure: there are changing cabins, sun canopies, benches and trash cans. There are also showers with thermal water on the beach. The sand is regularly sifted with a sand cleaning combine. Rescue stations are also equipped. Near the beach there are two asphalt parking lots for easy access to its territory. Passenger cars are parked on the lower platform, while the upper one is for minibuses.
