Sheki to Baku Tour with a Tea Stop in Gabala

From the palace, you walk to the old part of the city, to the caravanserai. Merchants who traveled along the Silk Road once stayed here. Today, shops with local crafts are open under the arches. You can walk along the rows, look at the work of the craftsmen and choose a souvenir. Places like this make tours in Azerbaijan interesting: people still trade inside these old walls.

Next, the road goes up to the panoramic park. From here you can see the whole city: red tile roofs, green slopes and mountains on the horizon. You can take photos here and rest for a little while.

The next stop is the village of Kish, a few kilometers from Sheki. It is calmer here than in the city, and at the table you can try local food. This stop gives Azerbaijan tours something that museums do not have: the taste of the region and a calm day in the village.

After lunch, you walk to the temple of Caucasian Albania. According to tradition, it is one of the oldest Christian temples in the region. The ancient walls and the silence around them create a special mood. The guide will tell you about Albanian culture and how the temple is connected with the history of Azerbaijan.

Next, the road leads to Gabala, one of the ancient cities of Azerbaijan. Here you have a break for tea in Gabala: you can get some fresh air and rest a little before the road to Baku.

The transfer from Sheki to Baku is included in the tour, so after sightseeing you do not need to look for a taxi or a minibus. You travel without changes, and the mountains slowly give way to the plain.
