From Baku: Historical Sheki Sightseeing 2-Day Tour

Discover ancient Sheki and its mountain beauty, stained-glass palaces, Silk Road history, and rich culture in a 2-day journey through Azerbaijan's most charming and historic landscapes.
Embark on a 2-day cultural adventure through the heart of Azerbaijan, discovering the charm, history, and hospitality of one of its most ancient cities — Sheki.

Your journey begins with a visit to the mystical Diri Baba Mausoleum in Maraza, built into a cliffside in 1402. Continue to Shamakhi, home to the oldest mosque in Azerbaijan — the Juma Mosque, dating back to the 8th century, rich with Islamic history and linked to ancient legends.

Arriving in Sheki, you’ll step into a living museum of the Silk Road era. Explore the breathtaking Khan's Palace, built in the 18th century entirely without nails and adorned with intricate shebeke stained-glass windows and colorful frescoes. Visit the Ashagi and Yukhari Caravanserais, once resting places for merchants and travelers crossing the ancient Silk Road.

Dive deeper into Sheki’s heritage with visits to the Shekikhanovs' House, underground hamam, and the Museum of Folk and Applied Arts, showcasing traditional silk weaving and Sheki’s iconic halva.

On the second day, venture to the picturesque village of Kish, where you’ll find a 1st-century Albanian Christian church believed to be founded by the Apostle Elisha. Wrap up the journey with a panoramic view of the Gelersen-Gorersen Fortress, guarding Sheki since the 12th century.

From snow-capped Caucasus mountain views to ancient ruins and vibrant handicrafts, this tour offers a truly immersive Azerbaijani experience.
