🕌 Sufi Heritage in Azerbaijan

✨ Exclusive Author’s Program by Yahya Bayramov

One-Day Cultural & Spiritual Tour | Historical Sufi Sites | Unique Experience Off the Tourist Trail

🔍 Discover the Mystical Legacy of Azerbaijan’s Sufi Past

For those seeking depth, mystery, and real immersion — not tourist clichés — this exclusive one-day tour offers a rare opportunity to explore sacred Sufi heritage sites in Azerbaijan, many of which are untouched by mass tourism.

Led by Yahya Bayramov, a guide with over 20 years of experience in cultural tourism and more than 10 years developing complex, offbeat routes, this program invites you into the spiritual heart of the country, where mysticism, history, and nature converge.

🗺️ Tour Highlights: Sufi Temples, Ancient Mausoleums, Forgotten Villages

Route: Baku → Gobustan (Mərəzə) → Shamakhi → Gabala Region → Baku

📍 1. Diri Baba Mausoleum – Gobustan/Mereze (Approx. 90 km from Baku)

An architectural marvel carved into the rock. Known as the Mausoleum of the Living Grandfather, it is a revered Sufi pilgrimage site, surrounded by legends and spiritual energy.

📍 2. Shamakhi – City of Poets & Saints (+30 km)

Visit the historical capital of Shirvan and the 19th-century Mausoleum of the Seven Domes, a burial place of local nobility and spiritual figures. Panoramic views over the valley await.

📍 3. Sufi Temples in a Hidden Mountain Village

A fairytale-like village where ancient Sufi traditions are still whispered in the wind. Walk through living history among shrines unknown even to locals.

📍 4. The Tomb of Nasimi’s Brother

Who were Nasimi and Naimi – Sufi poets or revolutionaries? Learn the untold stories of their lives, their influence, and their spiritual philosophy.

📍 5. Cemetery of Forgotten Saints – Gabala Region

In a remote forest village (name kept private), you’ll discover 4 mausoleums from the 15th–17th centuries, a sacred necropolis preserved by time and nature.
