The Shamakhi tour was the perfect combination of Azerbaijan’s history and beauty. We began with a visit to the Juma mosque, which is the oldest and largest mosque in Azerbaijan, dating back to the 8th century. The architecture and serene atmosphere of the mosque were stunning. The visit to the 7 gumbaz mausoleum complex was equally impressive, offering a glimpse into the past. Ali, our guide, was outstanding.
