Six days is enough to go beyond Baku and spend time in two of Azerbaijan’s most visited regional destinations. This 5 nights 6 days Azerbaijan tour begins in Baku before following the road through Shamakhi and Gabala to Sheki, where you stay overnight. After exploring Sheki’s historic center, caravanserai and Khan’s Palace area, the itinerary returns to Baku and continues with Gobustan and the Mud Volcanoes and the fire landmarks of Absheron. Compared with shorter packages, the overnight stay in Sheki makes this a genuine multi-city Azerbaijan itinerary rather than a series of day trips from Baku.
