What to Expect
First day starts from your hotel lobby. Our professional, friendly guide will be in your hotel lobby. Then you will start the 2 days tour. Firstly, we will visit Mereze settlement of Baku (nowadays known as Qobustan district, please do not confuse it with Qobustan rock art natural park). DIRI BABA Mausoleum complex which was carved inside the mountain is 15th century monument of Azerbaijan.
In SHAMAKHI region, the first place to visit is JUMA MOSQUE. Juma mosque is the oldest muslim building of Caucasus region but during the history, lots of earthquakes and attacks changed the view of mosque. NOTE: As it is a mosque, there will be some rules, and the main one is for women to cover hair. At the entrance of mosque, the security officer will provide you with headscarf, but if you do not want to use it please take your own headscarf.
Second point of the region is 7 DOMES MAUSOLEUM COMPLEX. It is a cemetery belonging to the beginning of 19th century for Shamakhi khans (rulers).
