After a brief 15-minute break, the journey continues through the Gobustan desert towards the North Caucasian ridge, reaching its Asian section.

Guests will visit the Juma Mosque, a monumental structure built with ancient earthquake-resistant techniques. As the oldest Muslim temple in the Caucasus, dating back to 743, it provides insights into the history of Islam in Azerbaijan and the mosque’s intriguing past. The journey then proceeds along the picturesque Mugan Mountain Pass, a classic route of the Greater Caucasus, heading northwest to the Ismayilli region.

Visitors are welcomed at the renowned “Tufandag” hotel, featuring ski slopes and a cable car system that offers stunning views of the mountains and the city center.

- Seven Beauties Waterfall - Nestled in the magnificent Great Caucasus Mountains and surrounded by lush forests, the “Seven Beauties” waterfall cascade offers a serene and private experience. Named for its seven waterfalls, each with unique height and steepness, it provides breathtaking views at every turn. Located in the Vandam area near Gabala, visitors can approach the waterfalls, feel the gentle mist, and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. It’s an ideal spot to relax and appreciate nature’s splendor.
- Nohur Lake - Lake Nohur marks a fitting conclusion to the Baku-Gabala tour. This colorful mountain lake offers a sense of tranquility.
