Juma Mosque
The first step is going to be your visit to the biggest mosque of Caucasus – Juma Mosque, which is located in the Shamakhi city. Shamakhi used to the capital city of the Shirvanshah state, which existed for almost 7 centuries.
Ismailly
We then continue to the scenic region of Ismayilli, where the stunning nature will leave you truly delighted. Here, we’ll stop at a local restaurant for lunch, which includes: a choice of chicken or lentil soup, plov (pilaf), an assortment of kebabs (lyulya, chicken, lamb), Choban salad (with fresh vegetables), cheese, adjika (spicy paste), soft drinks, and tea.
Your next destination will be the place, which is important for nature lovers – Nohur Lake. Around this fascinating nature, the lake reflects the Greater Caucasus Mountains in its green-blue waters.
Later, you, with the help of cable car, will ascend to the tops of the ski resort Tufandag, which is one of the highest mountains in Azerbaijan. According to the legend, the lakes on the mountain still have the pieces that broke apart from the Noah's Ark during the storm.
Seven Beauties Waterfall
The Seven Beauties Waterfall, or Yeddi Gözəl in Azerbaijani, is a peaceful and scenic natural site located near Vandam village in the Gabala region. The waterfall is made up of seven separate streams flowing from the forested slopes of the Greater Caucasus Mountains. Its name comes not only from the number of cascades but also from the famous 12th-century poem Seven Beauties by Nizami Ganjavi, reflecting the cultural background of the area. During a day trip in Azerbaijan, this stop gives visitors a chance to experience quiet nature. While the first two cascades are easily accessible, reaching the remaining five requires a walk up wooden stairs built into the hillside. The climb is moderately challenging but manageable for most people and highly rewards climbers with breathtaking views of the untouched forest and the serene ambiance created by the cascading waters .

Palace of Shaki Khans
Unique in the architecture Sheki Khans Palace was built in 1762 by Huseyn-khan. The palace has its own special original construction techniques. It is enough to say for example that each square meter of shabaka (box of small wooden parts to be filled with colored glass) consists of five thousand parts, connected with each other without nails!
Church of Kish
In the villages of Sheki region there are several Christian architectural monuments of Caucasian Albania, the most famous of which is the church in the village of Kish. The official date of the laying of foundational stone of it is 1st century AD, the time when the territory of Azerbaijan was a part of the Caucasian Albania.Kish temple, built of limestone, is the first temple of hall type with a dome, created in the early Middle Ages. Currently, the historical and architectural monument works as a museum.
Karavansaray – is a historical monument in Sheki, a part of which is used as a hotel. It is located in more complex relief (The fleeting Gurjan River runs near the caravanserai) and is trapezium-shaped. Total area of the building is 6000 m2. Frontal part of the building overlooking the street has a height of 14 meters, but the inner part 8 meters. There are about 300 rooms and store rooms in the upper part of the caravanserai. Unlike the lower caravanserai, the upper caravanserai isn’t used as a hotel. It attracts tourists as a historical and architectural monument and local sightseeing.
Sheki Panoramik View. (Uphill park) Very wonderful view to whole Sheki from the TOP. Amazing place for tourists.

5.00Kamal was an expert guide. Learned lots, great stay, beautiful hotel in Sheki. I would highly recommend this tour. The one thing I’d say is that the lunches are huge- too much for me. If I could do it again, I’d skip Gabala- only because as a Canadian, from BC, the natural beauty of Gabala is something I have easy access to.
Beautiful, organized, comfortable, want to go back

5.00Went on Gabala-Sheka tour in June. Our guide was Ruslan. We were very comfortable with him, he kept a very close eye on our desires, our condition. Not only is he a good organizer who has everything under control, but he's also a wonderful tour guide. He spoke with great affection about Azerbaijan, tried to give as much information as possible about both the country and the place where we were at the moment, and his stories were not tiresome at all, and he very unobtrusively involved us in his narrative. The highlight of the tour was the town of Sheki, which is really very beautiful and immerses itself headlong in the atmosphere of its time, as if you've moved in a time machine. Highly recommended tour and all that beauty.

Poor organisation of the hotel booking

1.00We booked the 2 day trip 2 months before the trip. Just a couple of days before the departure, we received a whatsapp message telling us that the standard double rooms we booked through them had been no longer available and only an expensive deluxe room and a suite were available. They also said that if we were not happy, we could cancel and find rooms ourselves. The timing was so near to the departure, we had to accept the expensive rooms which costs us further £90.00 (only payable in cash). We believe this was very unfair and the company was not trustworthy. Have a second thought if you are planning to use company.
Opportunity missed with terrible organisation and attitude - "I'm just the guide"

2.00We went on a two day trip to Gabala and Sheki with ATI Tours. The Good - We saw some beautiful places in Shamaki, Gabala and Sheki. Our guide (Kamal) was interesting and knowledgeable. The Bad - It is really a trip to Gabala with Sheki tagged on for those signed up for it. The organisation and administration for those going to Sheki was terrible and not helped by the ATI tour guide who was as equally frustrated as the tour members. - To return to Baku at the end of the second day of the trip, we were taken back to Lake Nohor to connect with the Gabala tour. We spent 2 hours waiting for the Gabala day tour to complete their itinerary (at sites we'd visited the previous day!) before the journey back to Baku could start. - As we approached Sheki, we were told that although some of the group were going to the 5 star Sheki Palace Hotel, we had been booked at a 3 star hotel without being told why. - When a tour member complained to our guide about lack of seating and very loud music being played, our guide became aggressive and confrontational, rather than deescalating the situation as he should have done. Several of us found the situation unsettling and unprofessional. We live in Baku and love to explore Azerbaijan, but we won't book with ATI again nor recommend to others. When we raised concerns and asked questions we were dismissed with "I'm just the guide, speak to the office". Representatives of ATI need to understand that their tour guides represent the company and more customer-service training is required in this instance.
