Overview

Azerbaijan Travel International is pleased to present our guests Shamakhi-Gabala tour.

Baku-Gabala tour is a journey in which cities, regions, capitals, climatic zones and parts of the world change. After spending a day on this way, you get acquainted with the main feature of the nature of Azerbaijan – its rich diversity. And in addition to being close to nature, you get closer to the culture and history of Azerbaijan, as the road passes in the lands that have a wonderful past.

And the details are in the journey itself. What a miracle happened a thousand years ago in Qobustan, what is special about the technology of the ancient Shamakhi mosque, what Gabala looks like from a bird's-eye view, what is special about the taste of Sheki halva and much, much more will be learned by anyone who will make himself (and loved ones) a pleasant gift by purchasing the Baku-Gabala tour.

Activity itinerary

Baku (Pass by)
Morning in Baku. The guests are met by a guide around the country – a representative of the tour operator Azerbaijan Travel International and everyone sets off on a comfortable bus, first passing through the whole city. There are 250 kilometres ahead, and guests will have several halts, stops with excursions and lunch.
Diri Baba Mausoleum
  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
The Diri-Baba Mausoleum is located in the Gobustan District near Qobustan city, and it's one of Azerbaijan's most interesting historical sites. Built around a thousand years ago, the mausoleum sits in a beautiful ravine, often called "Little Petra." It’s not only an architectural wonder but also an important religious site, believed to be the burial place of a famous Sufi mystic. Visitors come to see the mausoleum's unique design and stunning location, which blends perfectly with the surrounding rocky landscape. It's a place where history and spirituality connect, reflecting the cultural importance of nature in Azerbaijan. The Diri-Baba Mausoleum, with its combination of ancient history, beautiful surroundings, and cultural significance, makes it a memorable destination for anyone exploring Azerbaijan.
Juma Mosque
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
10:45 Shamakhi city is the ancient capital of the medieval state of Shirvan. In this city, one of the centers of Azerbaijani poetry and viticulture, guests will have an excursion to the Juma Mosque. Guests will find themselves in the walls of a grandiose architectural structure made according to ancient antiseismic technology. A visit to the first Muslim temple in the Caucasus, built in 743, will introduce tourists to the history of Islam in Azerbaijan and the history of the mosque itself. After that, they will go further along the road that stretches like a ribbon along the Mugan mountain Pass, classic for the Greater Caucasus, and leads to the northwest of Azerbaijan to Ismayilli.
Goychay
  • 1h
13:30 Lunch in the mesmerising Goychay forest. An hour break in a car transfer in a cosy restaurant will bring the main gastronomic notes to the Baku-Gabala tour. A three-course meal will end with a tea party, and fresh air saturated with oxygen will have a beneficial effect on digestion. Well-fed and with pleasant impressions from the first half of the tour, the guests go on. The culmination of the journey awaits them.
Tufandag Mountain Resort
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
15:30 The city of Gabala is the capital of the Gabala district. The city, which was in ancient times the capital of Caucasian Albania, and today is known as a ski resort, will welcome tourists on the territory of the most famous hotel in the region "Tufandag". Ski trails are located here and cable car cables are stretched over them, from which magnificent views of the mountains and the central part of the city open. The highest point of this exciting attraction is the peak of the Sleeping Beauty Mountain (Yatmysh Gezel), located at an altitude of about two thousand metres above the level of the world ocean.
Qabala
  • 20m
17:00 The tour operator Azerbaijan Travel International is not limited to a trip by cable car in the city of Gabala. The next stop is a tea party in the House of Sweets, where our guests drink tea with all kinds of dessert dishes, tasting of which is included in the price of the tour.
Nohur Gol
  • 30m
17:30 Lake Nohur. A worthy end to the journey offered by the Baku-Gabala tour package is a stop on the shore of a colourful mountain lake. To characterise the acquaintance with him, one word is enough – pacification. Riding a catamaran on its mirrored surface or walking along its wooded shore will encourage any sad person to rethink existence and come to the conclusion that the world is really beautiful. Half an hour later - on the way back by semi-express with a short rest in the city of Shamakhi.
