Sheki
A jewel of the ancient Silk Road
About This Tour
Sheki is arguably Azerbaijan's most enchanting city — a former Silk Road hub nestled in the forested foothills of the Greater Caucasus. The Palace of the Sheki Khans, with its breathtaking stained-glass shebeke windows, is one of the finest examples of Eastern architecture in the world. Wander through caravanserais, taste the famous Sheki halva, and breathe in the fragrance of walnut forests.
