Itinerary
Two-storied mausoleum-mosque of the 15th century called Diri-Baba, located across from the old cemetery. For a long time the local residents have kept the legend that there imperishable Saint Diri-Baba had been buried. However, many other legends and mystical details are connected with this landmark. Therefore, since the 17th century it attracts pilgrims and simply curious visitors. The originality of this structure is that the architect "built" the tomb into the rock. The impression is that the tomb is suspended in the air.
Juma Mosque built by Abbasid Caliphate in 743 A.D. in order to spread Islam in the region is the second oldest mosque of Caucasus
Nohur Lake is situated on the way to Gabala and is one of the most popular sights in Azerbaijan.
Another population tourist attraction on this tour is Seven Beauties Waterfall, located in a forest. You will be fascinated by views of this natural beauty.
The next destination is going to be Tufandag Ski Resort, where by use of the cable care you will ascend to 2 thousand meters above sea level and see Bazarduzu, the highest peak in Azerbaijan

About Baku
Baku is Azerbaijan's capital on the Caspian Sea, where a walled medieval old town sits beside oil-era mansions and glass towers shaped like flames.
The walled Old City, Icherisheher, is a UNESCO-listed maze of lanes with the Maiden Tower and the Palace of the Shirvanshahs, both medieval. Beyond the walls, grand mansions from the oil boom of the late nineteenth century line the streets, and a long boulevard runs beside the Caspian. The three Flame Towers glow on the skyline, and Zaha Hadid's curving Heydar Aliyev Centre is a landmark of modern architecture.
Top-ranked sights in Baku: Bibi-Heybat Mosque (Bibiheybet Mescidi), Yanar Dag, Baku Old City (Icherisheher).
