Sheki Karvansaray
Nestled in the picturesque town of Sheki, Azerbaijan, the Sheki Karvansarai is a testament to the region’s rich cultural heritage and storied past. Situated along the ancient Silk Road, this architectural marvel served as a critical hub for traders, travelers, and caravans journeying between East and West.

Rose oil farm - turn back to Baku
Early in the morning, before dawn, we will go to a rose plantation. There are 2,000 people working here. It is very important to start working before the heat sets in. Here, we will observe women collecting rose petals in bags, weighing their bags, and receiving checks for their work. You will have the opportunity to participate in the collection process, take photos in a mountain of rose petals, ride a tractor, and visit the distillery, where you will be shown the entire production process. Get ready for a fun-filled experience. You will not have seen anything like this in your life. You will be dizzy from the pink aroma. Next, you will be invited to a samovar tea with pink jam and pancakes
