Highlights
- Juma Mosque - Shamakhi’s greatest landmark is Juma Mosque, one of Azerbaijan’s largest and most lavish places of worship. While the current structure was reconstructed in 2013, the earliest version was built way back in 743AD, making this the second oldest mosque in the Caucasus and the oldest in Azerbaijan. Since then it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, most notably during the devastating earthquake that reduced Shamakhi to rubble in 1859 and later by inter-ethnic clashes in 1918. Besides discovering its historical and religious significance, you can enjoy simply basking in the site’s elegance and tranquility.
- Nohur Lake - Nohur Lake is a beautiful natural lake located in the northern part of Azerbaijan, surrounded by a dense forest. It is a popular tourist destination due to its picturesque landscape, which includes crystal-clear waters, verdant forests, and rugged mountains in the distance. The lake is a great place for outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, and camping, and visitors can also enjoy a scenic boat ride or picnic by the water’s edge. The area around Nohur Lake is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including rare bird species and endemic plant life, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts.
- Seven Beauties Waterfall - The Seven Beauties Waterfall is located in the Vandam village of Azerbaijan, near the border with Georgia. It is a popular tourist attraction due to its stunning natural beauty, consisting of seven tiers of cascading waterfalls that drop over 70 meters in total. Visitors can enjoy a scenic hike through the surrounding forest to reach the waterfall and explore the picturesque pools and streams that surround it. The name “Seven Beauties” comes from a poem by the famous Azerbaijani poet Nizami Ganjavi, which describes a prince’s journey to visit seven princesses, each representing a different virtue or quality.
- Tufandag Mountain Resort - Tufandag Mountain Resort is a popular tourist destination located in Gabala, Azerbaijan. It is known for its network of four cable cars that take visitors up to the top of Tufandag Mountain, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The resort is a popular destination for skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports, with slopes and trails suitable for all levels of experience.

Horrible trip ... not recommended - The trip is summarized as follows:
1- the office Baku Heritage Tour did not inform us the real lenght of the trip. We took 5 horrible hours to reach Gabala and the same for return!! The roads were not good at all and I felt like we are driving to hell all the road long.
2- the guideman Sulaiman is very nice and polite and helpful. I really appreciate his support with smile and I will be thankful for all his kindness
3- the driver is really horrible!! He drives so fast and in a crazy way!! I was really afraid and I did not believe that I have survived at the end!!! I do not know how the office is hiring him as he should not drive at all
4- The places : the mosque is not worthy as I did not find anything special about it( even I am a Muslim). The Nahur Lake is awsome and wonderful... we should have stayed longer there as its really worthy.... The tfundug resort and the cable car is an amazing places as I recommend strongly to go through....
5- Overall my experience is stillnot good as the length of the trip and the driver make me never try it again.... I forget to tell that the food is not good and very expensive and even the shops are very expensive....

Terrible Tourguide But Great Experience - Only reason for 2 star is the tour guide Hussain. Extremely terrible attitude and ego. Shouting clapping hands hard calling us. He shouted at me on the last point also. I was only 5 mins late and he was terrible throughout the journey he was talking and sharing with only 3-4 people in the bus.
Overall the locations was very good and enjoyable and time allotment was short because gabala is far. Tour ended at 12am the next day and started 1.5 hours late from the city.
