AMazingg 🤩 - Shamakhi, known for its rich history, owing to our guide Mr. NAZIR i learnt a lot & captivated me with its ancient architecture. The Juma Mosque, one of the oldest mosques in the Caucasus, showcased stunning craftsmanship. The lush landscapes surrounding the city, especially in the direction of the Tufandag Mountain, offered breathtaking views and peaceful hiking trails. Gabala is a vibrant tourist hub as well. The stunning mountains provide a stunning backdrop for various outdoor activities. I took a cable car ride up to the Tufandag Mountain Resort, where the panoramic views left me speechless. The area is perfect for hiking and winter sports, making it a year-round destination. Gabala also boasts the beautiful Nohur Lake, where I spent a relaxing boating and soaking in the serene atmosphere. Throughout my journey, the warmth of Azerbaijani hospitality was evident. I indulged in local cuisine in Goychay city Shamakhi and Gabala are perfect for travelers seeking a mix of culture, history, and nature. Whether you're wandering through ancient sites or enjoying outdoor adventures, both cities offer unforgettable experiences. I left with beautiful memories and a deep appreciation for Azerbaijan’s diverse offerings. Highly recommend!

Shamakha - Shamakhy Gabala.One of the most beautiful and exciting places.Thought I'd never see the way the clouds fly through me.And thanks to the mountains I was able to be at the height of the clouds.The road at first seemed long but as soon as the beginning of the serpentine and the heights beyond which you were never,immediately realized that even the road to Shamakh is very exciting as if it were part of the tour! To sum up, I can say that the coherence of the guide and everyone who took it on, for good reason, Everybody is happy!
