Sheki is one of the most ancient and charming cities of Azerbaijan, located on the picturesque slopes of the Greater Caucasus. Once a major stop on the Silk Road, it is culturally rich and visually stunning.
The city is famous for its silk, intricate 'shebeke' (stained glass) craftsmanship, and the mouth-watering Sheki Halva. The Palace of Sheki Khans, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a masterpiece of miniature painting and medieval architecture, built without a single nail.
Match with a local expert to uncover hidden gems, skip tourist traps, and taste the real Azerbaijan.

Escape the city. Ride through mountains. Sleep under the stars. A 2-day immersive experience in the Gabala region featuring horse riding through mountain trails, an authentic beekeeping farm excursion, village life tour, and an overnight stay in a traditional village house.

This 7-day tour explores three completely different faces of Azerbaijan. We begin in Baku — where medieval fortress walls stand alongside modern skyscrapers — then venture out to the Absheron Peninsula's ancient fire temples and prehistoric rock carvings. Next, we head to the lush mountain landscapes of Gabala for horseback riding, a village stay, and a beekeeping farm visit. We conclude in Sheki, a Silk Road gem, where you'll tour an 18th-century Khan's Palace, dine on legendary piti, and explore the medieval copper-crafting village of Lahij.

This dynamic 3-day excursion perfectly combines German heritage, ancient Albanian monuments, and immersive nature walks across the Shamkir, Gadabay, and Dashkasan regions. It is the ideal choice for travelers seeking a condensed route that balances historical discovery with active outdoor adventure (including moderate hiking) and authentic rural hospitality.
