Dagestan holidays. Sightseeing tour

Breakfast at the hotel.

Today we have to travel to mountainous Dagestan and get acquainted with the traditions of the Avar people.

Gamsutl is a famous abandoned village in Dagestan, located at an altitude of almost 1,500 meters above sea level.

It is full of legends and tall tales, and among the cluster of deserted houses of the "Dagestani Machu Picchu" only the wind and brave tourists wander here.

We will descend to Gamsutl from the top of the village of Sogratl, an ancient settlement in the Gunib district, historically known as the center of Andalal or the Andalal Free Society.

Sogratl is located among the mountains of the Nukatl range above the valley of the Tsamtichai River. During the ascent to the top, you will enjoy views of the famous Sedlo and Mayak mountains.

At lunch, we will try Avar national dishes: khinkal, botishal and apricot porridge.

Next, we will visit the village of Gunib, whose history is inextricably linked with the name of Imam Shamil and the end of the Caucasian war.

The Museum of Local Lore will introduce us to the history of the village and the way of life of its inhabitants.

Maximum immersion in culture can be achieved by trying on the traditional costumes of the peoples of Dagestan from the museum's collection.

After a day full of history and the beauty of nature in the Gunibsky district, we return to the hotel.

Breakfast at the hotel.

Room release.

We will spend the last day of our tour in Derbent, the southernmost and most ancient city in Russia.

The first stop will be at the Lun ekranoplane, an ingenious creation of Soviet engineering. Well-preserved to the present day, preserved for several years in the coastal area of the city of Kaspiysk, it is now waiting for the day when it will proudly spread its wings in the center of the Patriot Park under construction.

A visit to the Naryn-Kala citadel will reveal to us the ancient history of the fortress, which has protected the city from the invasion of nomads for hundreds of years.

Next, we will walk through the streets of the Old City and visit the Juma Mosque, built in 733.

We will plunge into the culture of the southern peoples of Dagestan and feel the oriental flavor of Derbent.

The gift shop included in the program will allow you to purchase gifts for yourself and your loved ones in memory of Dagestan.

Traditional crafts of the peoples, tea and sweets are presented here.

We conclude our trip with a feast in the ethnodome with dishes of South Dagestan cuisine: dolma, pilaf, chudu and tea drinking.

Group transfer to the airport and railway station of Makhachkala upon departure.

The recommended departure time is after 18:00.
