Azerbaijan has a long history, as demonstrated by places such as Shamakhi. It was once the capital of the Shirvan Empire and the base of the Shirvan Dynasty. These days Shamakhi is famous for its winemaking. Visiting this city you’ll have an opportunity to acquaint yourself with the Yeddi Gumbez mausoleum, whose imposing domes rise mysteriously above an almost silent valley. From here there are stunning views back to Shamakhi. Not far away, you’ll encounter the tombs of Diri Baba Similarly atmospheric structures are built into the rock, giving the impression of an eagle’s nest. As we approach, only the front part is visible; the other sides are masked by the rocks from which they were carved, giving the impression that the tomb is suspended above the ground. The monument has two floors: while the lower floor was probably intended for servants, the upper one, which could be reached by stairs, was a salon. Whether it is a sacred site or a burial site depends on the interpretation.
We begin to explore Gabala. The most beautiful area of the country is known as a tourist paradise. If it were not for the Gabala radar station, which affects the local beauty and nature, this place would be ideal both from an environmental point of view and from a health point of view…Baku is 225 km away. Gabala is located in the Haftara-Alazan valley and is surrounded by the Greater Caucasus. It is located on the right bank of the Damiraparan River at an altitude of 900 meters above sea level. Touching the Lahij Mountains on one side, Gabala is located in the north-west of the country at the foot of Shahdag Mountain.
