What To Expect
Juma Mosque
Shamakhi’s greatest landmark is Juma Mosque, one of Azerbaijan’s largest and most lavish places of worship. While the current structure was reconstructed in 2013, the earliest version was built way back in 743AD, making this the second oldest mosque in the Caucasus and the oldest in Azerbaijan. Since then it has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, most notably during the devastating earthquake that reduced Shamakhi to rubble in 1859 and later by inter-ethnic clashes in 1918. Besides discovering its historical and religious significance, you can enjoy simply basking in the site’s elegance and tranquility.
Nohur Lake
Nohur Lake is a beautiful natural lake located in the northern part of Azerbaijan, surrounded by a dense forest. It is a popular tourist destination due to its picturesque landscape, which includes crystal-clear waters, verdant forests, and rugged mountains in the distance. The lake is a great place for outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, and camping, and visitors can also enjoy a scenic boat ride or picnic by the water's edge. The area around Nohur Lake is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including rare bird species and endemic plant life, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts.

5.00I took two tours from Baku Heritage Tours, and it was an incredible experience. Booking is fast and convenient via WhatsApp, and payment can be done online via a payment link. The customer representative is attentive and replies immediately. I managed to book my tour in less than an hour. They advise on the itinerary schedules and ticket/admission pricing for the locations beforehand. The tour staff are punctual and polite (Cheers to my guide, Mr. Keenan, and his colleague who drove me to Gabala) Overall, it is an incredible experience worth trying! Tours I booked are private Gobustan - Absheron and Gabala - Shamakhi Tour.
Great experience
