Quba has always stood out as one of Azerbaijan’s largest and most stunning regions! If you’re planning to explore other cities in Azerbaijan, don’t miss out on Quba! This city, founded in the 15th century, lies 165km north of Baku.

One of the noteworthy destinations in Quba is the Khinaliq village, which is the most distant and highest among all the other villages in the area, nestled within the Caucasian mountains. This isolation has been a key factor in the survival of the village’s residents during invasions. Tracing its roots to the Albanian era, relics of prehistoric human caves remain preserved within the mountainous terrain. Given its extensive past, Khinaliq is among the oldest continuously inhabited regions globally and has been enlisted in UNESCO’s list of World Historical Monuments.
