Secrets of the Temple of the Sun and Sufi Mausoleums – Exclusive Author’s Tour in Gabala

Discover a unique one-day tour in Gabala, Azerbaijan – not tourist fast food, but real adventure. This is one of my most fascinating routes among the 7 custom tours I offer in this beautiful region.

With over 20 years of experience in tourism and 10 years specializing in complex and custom-made tours, I create author’s routes and expeditions for true travelers. Every journey is a deep dive into the authentic life and culture of Azerbaijan – far from the typical tourist crowds.

What makes this tour special?

We explore one of the most mysterious villages in Gabala, where no tourist has ever set foot. You’ll uncover the secrets of:

• The only Temple of the Sun in the Caucasus (with a shape similar to Cheburashka’s head)

• 4 ancient Sufi mausoleums

• Forgotten religions, fire worshippers, and hidden spiritual knowledge

• Beautiful green meadows, hills, and mountain landscapes

This is a light hike — just 3 km on foot (1.5 km each way) or accessible by SUV for added comfort. Now is the perfect time to experience this route.

Bonus: Culinary Experience

On the way back, we offer an optional stop to taste ancient-style kebabs and local dishes — a true culinary adventure.

⚠️ Tired of the standard Gabala programs like Nohur Lake, 7 Beauties Waterfall, and the cable car? Skip the clichés — join us for the real Gabala!
