    • Pick up from your hotel by your Azerbaijani tour guide. Then, stop at the Beshbarmag Mountain, a religious place.

    • After this, go to the Juma Mosque. Juma Mosque (Friday Mosque), one of the main mosques in the Quba region of Azerbaijan. The construction of the mosque dates back to the 19th century. The unique side of the mosque is its structure which is not typical to other places of Azerbaijan except Quba. 

    • Go to the Jewish Red town. Across the Kudyal River from Quba is the Red Town, the largest Mountain Jewish settlement in the former Soviet Union. Red Town is the only entirely Jewish settlement outside of Israel and the United States.

    • Explore the Gechresh Forest. 

    • In the end, visit Khinalig. It is located just south-west of Quba in the middle of the Greater Caucasus mountains that divide Russia and the South Caucasus. Khinalug is also the highest, most remote and isolated village in Azerbaijan and among the highest in the Caucasus. The weather changes dramatically during summer and winter, ranging from −20 °C to 18 °C. Khinalug has a population of about 2,000 people. This small group of people speaks the Khinalug language, which is an isolate within the Northeast Caucasian language family, although many speak Azerbaijani.
